About

In this downscale version of an old Havana supper club, the drinks are cool, the food is hot and so is the live salsa music. Their signature cocktail, the mojito, is a heady mix of mint, lime juice and rum. Start with croquetas filled with chicken or ham and served with plantain chips and garlic sauce, or potato balls stuffed with ground beef. The entrees include grilled red snapper, beef with potatoes and olives and jumbo shrimp in garlic-wine sauce. The service is friendly, and there's live music and dancing several nights a week.
