Now let me begin by saying I typically don't give my opinon on restos. Recently, on business I visited Havana Central in New York. So I am from Tokyo however previously been to New York a considerable number of occasions. My family and I really like the great number of eating places. I found Havana Central turn out to be posh completely, from environment through the presentation. What a relaxing and enjoyable dinnerService at this restaurant was very great! The decor was spectacular. One of our problems was basically the presentation wasn't that remarkable. The idea was decent but did not give you that amaze feeling. Now the great quality and amount of food was basically excellent. From the Two starter items -n- Two main courses we ordered, We would rate 3 as wonderful & 1 as pretty good My friends and I had a good night! So refreshing with there being a lot of N.Y. dining places that are unhealthy. Also was to visit a NYC establishment without having an excessive amount demeanor. I am a huge fan of the place. We will certainly be back soon.
