Key Lime Pie!
Matt WickerDecember 20, 2014
The service is pathetic. We sat for 4 minutes before anyone stopped by. Meanwhile 10 ft away there is 3-4 servers pointing around the restaurant and not one walked over.

Not on the menu, but if you ask, they will serve you their famous Cuban at dinner (my kids' favorite).

All the meat we had, pork, chicken, and beef, was too dry
Christopher NasonJuly 6, 2015
Not sure how this restaurant has lasted 100 years. The 1905 salad is simply a tossed salad and not deserving of the praise. My paella entree was overcooked and bland! Very disappointed!
Michael GrimesApril 1, 2015
Get anything. You'll be fine.
Pam DeckerAugust 10, 2011

The Paella is awesome.
Ed SpaterDecember 6, 2015
We were here for Thanksgiving late morning. The turkey was dry as a bone and barely edible but the service was even worse. We barely received our appetizers when the meal came and we felt rushed.

Brandi MccorkleNovember 15, 2012

After all the hype we just weren't feeling it. Waiter disappeared for long stretches. Did not keep water glasses filled. Gazpacho was disappointing as was dessert.

1905, Spanish Bean Soup, Plantain
Juniper ArnoldFebruary 16, 2014
I no longer wish to eat here. Even with reservations, you still have to wait. Had a 3 pm reservation and still was not seated by 3:30. We left. This place really needs to go to reservation only.
