What People Are Saying About Cuba Libre

Citysearch

In Short – This Old City restaurant has a movie set-Epcot feel. Built to resemble a 1940s village, the two-story space is weathered featuring bright colors, tall palms and big ceiling fans. American flavors are added to Cuban classics as in the lobster empanadas with sweet meat and in entrees including tuna seviche tossed with coconut milk, lime juice and yellow pepper and cilantro. Desserts are as sweet as mojitos: vanilla Cuban bread brulee or banana and chocolate-mousse tart.

Great cuban food, cool restaurant

by CrassGrl29

I recommend getting the "15 item tasting menu" if available. It's a great way to sample so many different things. My bf and I were visiting from out of town and came here on a Sunday. I've never had cuban food like this before. MMMMM. Really good flavors. That mango butter is to die for. haha.

The service is great, the restaurant decor is cool too.

Pros: Service, atmosphere, food

Great Memories

by engagedchk36

This place is amazing - I have been there several times and it just makes for a great night out. The mojitos are the best I have ever had and depending on who you are with, it could be very romantic or really crazy fun.
