  • Fantastico

    Review rating : 5out of 5   JFK9234 - 11/20/2008

    Food was great, service very good. There was a great variety of food and very interesting combinations. Everytime that I have been there it has been very crowded and the noise level very high.

    THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT, THE ATMOSPHERE INTIMATE,
    THE CEVICHE OUT OF THIS WORLD. AND A CELEBRITY WAS SPOTTED--EAGLE TAKEO

  • Alma de Cuba Better Than Ever

    Headed back to Alma last night with a guest from DC, named Garcia no less. It was a great experience from start to finish. After a mojito and an Alma colada, we ordered 7 types of ceviche to share. The presentation was impressive - the tastes more so. After we each consumed half of seven good sized portions of ceviche, we were so full that we opted for soup. The chicken coconut soup and the seafood soup were both fantastic. The seafood soup was chock full of shrimp and clams. My dining companion also had a glass of wine with dinner. Then we had a cafe de leche an a cappucino to round out the night. The damages for this gourmet experience - @ $100.00. It's a bargain.

    A group of us from out of town went to Alma de Cuba tonight for dinner on the recommmendation of the concierge at the hotel. All of us agreed it was incredible. It was a full house yet our service was extremely quick and the food was outstanding. The menu selection is quite broad and everything was very flavorful. I used to think my aunt cooked the best Latin food but she now has her work cut out for her.

    I was there on a Tuesday night and the service was sooooo slooooow. Tip: set up your vcr if you have any tv show you think you will be home for...cause you won't. Food was good, not great. Expensive restaurants should excel at service and food quality. No return visit for me.
