This restaurant brings the flair of Cuban cuisine with new-age American twists. Decorated in a more minimalist style with breathtaking larger-than-life funky paintings of iconic fgures (including Marilyn, Kennedy, and Castro) and tv's tuned to sports, news, or even old footage of 50s Cuba, this place has an eclectic, quirky vibe that somehow draws you in and makes you feel comfortable.
The service is quite good as well. The staff is friendly and helpful, patient to explain anything on the menu that a guest might not be familiar with and always offering suggestions if you can't make up your mind. The management is enthusiastic as well and happy to tell you all about Cuban Revolution. (I had a great chat with the owner about the origins of his restaurant and the other sister restaurants all the way up in the North East.)
And of course, the food has always impressed me. Everything I have had there is delicious and very reasonably priced, even for us college stuents, haha. Be sure to try their rich and flavorful black bean soup or their sweet, fried maduros (ripe plantains)!
