"We found the restaurant via open table. They were ready for us as soon as we walked in. The ambiance was great, colorful and happy music. The staff were friendly and accessible. The food was excellent, particularly the Wellington. Hated to leave the last bite. We spoke to the owner after our meal to give our $.02. He was very kind and knowledgeable. A new favorite to visit whenever in the area."

"My wife and I returned to Habana Blues for the third time this past weekend. We always have a great time there and are always treated well by the staff. The food service is attentive and prompt. All of the tapas that we ordered arrived quickly, hot, and tasting great. All this at a reasonable price. What more could we ask for?"

"We were appreciative that the restaurant was able to be flexible with our reservations because we had babysitter issues. That should have been a tip on a Saturday night. The waitress forgot to order two of the tapas items that we requested, which was fine because the food wasn't that great. One of our dining companions as convinced that her margarita was flavored with Sprite. The mariachi music was ineasantly loud and the temperature of the restaurant was very cold. We won't go back.
Had to go to Havana Rumba the next day to fulfill our Cuban craving and it was awesome as usual. Should have not strayed from what we know to be good."

"We went for Valentine's dinner after Valla Ann at the Admiral Bicknell B&B recommended we make reservations at Habana Blues. The tuna ceviche with watermelon was outstanding. The side dish of mushroom risotto was so good - I could just have had that for dinner! I had fish along with the risotto, and some asparagus. My husband had the duck with the mushroom risotto, and said it was excellent. The margaritas were also good. There was no bread served with our meal, and that would have been nice. The food was high class in a setting that was not so expensive. Our waiter was a bit harried, but it was Valentine's dinner, and he had a lot of tables to attend. We will return here for sure when we are back in this area."
