Food is cold and too salty. Seems they are trying to hide the lack of flavor with the salt. I Do NOT recommend when there are so many other great restaurants.

Un excellent restaurant dans une ambiance cubaine exceptionnelle. Musique live et sourires du personnel au rendez-vous. À ne manquer sous aucun prétexte lors de votre passage à Key West !

Restaurante gostoso e não muito caro, excelente para jantar durante o pôr do sol em Celebration Sunset.
IntersendJanuary 3, 2019
На удивление все заказанные закуски и стейки оказались приличными, с идеальным балансом по специям. А вот алкоголь был сильно разбавлен водой, прямо как на Кубе)).
