Food is absolutely delicious. Coffee was exquisite. Their mojitos are the best that I have ever had. Thank you all for providing us a beautiful space for our family to come together and celebrate life.

Havana Jax has been one of my favorite restaurants over the past two years. I had the pleasure of introducing my friend to them today and, as always, it was stellar! For appetizers, I totally recommend the Havana Platter! (I'll have a pic for next time) It's a delightful plate filled with yuca, tostones, and chicarrones. My usual is a customizeable bowl. This time, I tried the Churrasco steak with yellow rice, black bean soup, and plantains. The best way to describe it - chef's kiss! Excellent across the board! We capped off our meal with some espresso that was warm, savory, sweet, and rich. We also ordered Tres Leches to go (I was full after such a big portion). I tried it when I got home and OMG it's delectable!! But above all else, Mr. Miguel and his service was excellent! His recommendations were wonderful and I can't wait to bring more of my friends and family to visit!
