We made reservations last minute before our matinee show of Sunset Blvd. Havana Central didn’t disappoint. The drinks were on par and the food was delicious. The restaurant filled up quickly after we arrived but we didn’t have a long wait for our orders. Our waitress never came back to our table after our orders arrived but the rest of the staff was excellent. We were finished in time for us to get to our show. I read other reviews about the long wait for food and food temps were cold. This was not the case in our situation. We will definitely come back!
