    We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Habana! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere great and inviting, with a perfect balance of fun energy and sophistication. The food was exceptional—every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. What truly made our visit unforgettable, though, was our server, Beto. They were incredibly attentive without being overbearing and made us feel so welcomed. His friendly demeanor and attention to detail made my husband's birthday celebration seamless and enjoyable. I can’t recommend Habana enough, and I’ll definitely be back. Thank you to the entire team for such a wonderful experience!

    The service and food were excellent. Yes, prices, but what isn't today? Of course, seeing the water and city lights was great. I would have liked to see more holiday decorations on the ship, walking the way from the onboard area to the restaurant. Yes, there were several lit Christmas trees, but it's a long walk, and it would have been much nicer if it had been more festive, including the restaurant itself.

    The reservation process through Open Table went well. The Restaurant was clean and comfortable. The staff does an exceptional job. The salmon with mashed potatoes and veggies was great. Generous portion. Perfectly seared and all the right flavors. The short rib was served on a bed of mashed potatoes and veggies. Everything was delicious and the portion size was generous. The views are unsurpassed. I've been here several times and they never dissappoint..

    This is our second time enjoying this brunch. The food is excellent, big variety of everything, Mexican, Italian, seafood, desserts, American. I wish they had a salad bar with more choices. The ambience was fantastic. Big part of it was the live band playing. Bossa Linda set the place on fire with their music. Service was excellent, we had Alejandra as our server and she was very attentive. Overall , great experience. Maybe they should have a dress code to make it more elegant. Some people were dressed very nicely with long dress and tights and others were in shorts and flip flops, not for the queen mary . Especially if you are paying $120 plus tip per person.
