The atmosphere:
Comfortable and affordable fine dining right off of Lincoln Avenue. Located steps from the party of south beach, it's lively, very well lit by the large windows and bright blue skies.
The skinny:
Seriously great. Authentic, very well made.The waitress runs on Cuban-time, so don't be in a hurry to get in and out. A bit of warning though, the taste of the water that goes into the fountain drink is a bit odd, ask for a bottled drink if available.
