It was excellent. Make reservations but might have to wait a while for food to come out. Just order a bottle of wine and enjoy. It is romantic and also good place to sit with friends and catch up...

When you're sick of the average food and so-so service which is endemic to so very many restaurants in Havana, you must go to Doctor Cafe and be reminded that service can be good, food can be cooked properly, and bread can be served fresh (I'm told it's made in house, and judging by the excellent quality I believe it)....
