Habana

i came here to celebrate my birthday with a big group of friends and it was the perfect setting for a relaxing, chill SoCal evening of drinks & dinner. we sat in the outside patio, which was quite large & warm (heated lamps).

the food was tasty and i would definitely come back for more cuban goodness. (serving sizes are large and plentiful).

as stated by the previous user, service was a bit on the slow side, but pleasant & fun.

Perfect spot to take a date or hang out with friends. Definitely felt like I am in New York when I ate here. Sophisticated menu selection, everything I ordered was delicious. Nice patio setting and modern decor. Not only great for dinner but just a spot to grab drinks!
I definitely recommend it to anyone.

You know you’re in California when you can have a nice dinner out on the patio in short sleeves in the middle of winter. Habana’s outside patio seems to be larger than the dining area indoor and they do a very good job with it. There’s plenty of candles to set the mood and an ample number of outdoor heaters to keep you toasty all night long. The heavy wooden tables and shrubbery all around the patio really make you feel like you’re having a meal in Cuba…or so I imagine…

The food, alcohol, and desserts are all reasonably priced and all quite tasty. The service wasn’t exactly the speediest or most attentive, but if you’re not in a hurry it just gives you more time to enjoy the evening. However, if you’re not a fan of cigar smoke, you may want to consider sitting inside.

Habana takes reservations and they have a supposed “2 hour time limit” on the tables, but that seems to be pretty lax on less busy days (we were there for 3 hours).

This location was referred to me. My boyfriend and I decided to try it. The pics of the food looked really exotic and that’s exactly how it was at the restaurant. However, the taste did not disappoint. I had the salmon dish and my boyfriend had the “cow’s ankle.” I am a salmon lover, and it was amazing!!! We also had the flan for dessert and it was really good as well. Lastly, the service was exceptional. Our server knew the cruisine and was very friendly. It was a very nice treat. Thank you Habanas!

The decor and ambiance is gorgeous, food is nothing great I tried the fried avocados and they were horrible all the praise on yelp must be from peeps with bland palates or who haven’t tasted better which is not surprising since we are in OC.

Waiter sucked he never refilled our waters, sangria was tasteless but my wife liked her wine.

Front host Brian was disappointing. He didn’t greet us when we entered and made us stand there while he chatted on the phone and after hanging up he goes to the bar to do something and the whole time he never once acknowledged our presence meanwhile we are waiting. It’s typical white trash red neck attitude, and he’s working in a Cuban joint?

One star because of the decor.
