Love, love, love Cuban food. Tried this obviously upscale restaurant for lunch on November 15th. For starters, our table wanted to try their CEVICHES and learned that they also had a sampler combining a trio of their offerings. 1 Vuelve La Vida, which consisted of Shrimp, scallops and calamari tossed ina an aji amarillo sauce with cherry tomatoes 2.

Tonight (Wed) I had 7:45 reservations for three. After a 10 minute wait, we were led up the stairs to a table (with a good view) at the front of the restaurant...after sitting for 15 minutes, without even the busboy coming by to ask us about water, the original host came by and gave us menus. Wow. Talk about being... more

We saw some posted reviews that suggested that Alma de Cuba was worth going to, though a little pricey. We decided to give it a try for lunch where the entrees offered were less expensive. Upon entry we were definitely impressed. The restaurant itself is unbelievable inside; incredible detail was considered right down to the hinges on the doors, contributing... more

I was at Alma de Cuba last week on a Wednesday night. There were two of us for dinner. We called only a couple of hours before we wanted to go, and still were able to get a reservation. Once we arrived, I liked the atmosphere, although we did laugh at all of the stairs we had to take -... more
