Great every time
by Lkoz
I have an amazing experience every time I go to Havana. The owners are extremely friendly and always go above and beyond to make their customers happy. They have amazing mojitos made with all fresh fruit! Pineapple, coconut, watermelon, strawberry, mango...they have it all... Ambiance can't be beat when looking for an authentic cuban restaurant. It is down to earth and comforting from the fun, upbeat music, to the art on the walls. Food is fresh and delish. Plus they have an awesome new wine list. Great wines that are super affordable. I recommend Havana to anyone looking for a great experience without breaking the bank.
Pros: Incredible fresh fruit mojitos

Great experience!
by Alejandroruiz
I came by this place by coincidence. My girlfriend and I were out looking for a drink. After we stumbled into Havana NY we sat at the bar and had literary the best mojitos ever!
After a few drinks we got hungry and decided to stay for dinner. The manager walked us right past the kitchen and brought us to the main dining room located at the back of the restaurant. It was like being in Cuba. White table cloth with flowers and candle light. Exposed brick and very cool Cuban prints on the wall.
The server was very friendly and knew his stuff very well. A sommelier came by to say hi and talked to us about wine. He offered a few options all very reasonable. To our surprise they had very good wines priced much lower than other restaurants we frequently dine in. My girlfriend had the Chilean seabass and I had the duck. The Fish was creamy and tender with an awesome spicy mango salsa. The duck was zesty and full of flavour topped with a pineapple and and white wine sauce out of this world!
We highly recomend this place. And yeah; they have live Latin Music every other Saturday.
Pros: Amazing Wine list. Great mojitos
Cons: Very busy at Lunch

Terrible Service
by kateb124
Went to Havana NY on Friday night with a group of about 10. We went after work for dinner and lots of drinks. Needless to say, it was a terrible experience. The waiter took over 30 mins to come over to the table, and once the manager was made aware of the situation, service did not improve.
The waiter actually came over to me, pointed his finger in my face and stated, "I am in big trouble with my manager because of you."
The bill came to over $400 for our entire experience, and I would recommend Havana's schedule additional waitstaff to handle the evening rush and prevent extreme rudeness to their customers.

Good for Cheap Eats
by qtgurljny
Good neighborhood place for cheap eats. The seafood soup is delicious. Cubano is good but, Sophie's is way better. Overall, food is good, decor is average and service is excellent. If you are in the neighborhood, it's a good place to get something to eat.

MIDTOWN GEM

I eat here all the time! It's a great place to fill your stomach and escape the drudgery of work and all of its stresses. Try a Blue Havana! It will certainly get you in the right mood. There's an elderly gentleman that seats patrons from time to time - ask him for two Blue Havana's and you'll be off to the right start. Here are three things you are assured to get: great food, great service and great prices! Three cheers for Havana-NY!
Pros: Inexpensive, Great food, Great service
Cons: , Small restaurant
