I visited the restaurant for the first time about fifteen days ago, we went on the recommendation of the butler of my resort, and the truth is that it was worth it and I will return, I take that for granted. I would like to congratulate the attention of the clerk Roxana, she was wonderful, this girl was always smiling, kind and very communicative, she always knew how to explain everything to us perfectly, congratulations to her and thank you for making our dinner the best of our entire vacation, the food was incredible and with reasonable prices, they have varied offers from complete menus with reasonable prices to more luxurious options, the lobster, the shrimp and the fish on the plate from the specials menu was incredible. Congratulations to this group!!!!!

This restaurant was recommended by our butler/concierge at Sanctuary GM, Rosana. While chatting with her about a place to eat she dialed the restaurant and set up reservation for us. It was a bit tricky finding the place as it is off the main boulevard but worth the effort! The staff are incredibly professional and friendly. The food...omg, my wife and I both had filet steak and it was exceptional in all aspects from presentation (see photo) to taste. We had a potato with the meal that was very tasty and when we asked for some extra they obliged right away and no extra charge. We highly recommend this quaint restaurant and will definitely be back next time we are in Varadero!!

We went to this restaurant after it was recommended to us at the hotel. There were 19 people in our group. We sat down and got up and left after looking at the menu. This place is a tourist TRAP! This place is charging 140$ cad for a steak with vegetables and plantain. It seems like a tourist trap at those prices regardless if it tastes good or not. I would really like to know if the girl at our hotel that recommended this place gets a kick back because it was ridiculous how much they are charging here.

The food is okay, but with a price tag above average. The main menu is written in chalk on the wall (terribly inconvenient). My husband ordered 2 beers, but they only brought him 1, although 2 were included in the bill, it was useless to prove anything. For the final, they brought the change partially in pesos at an exchange rate much lower than the street rate, although the bill was paid in dollars. We had to communicate for a very long time to get them to give us all the change in dollars. I do not recommend visiting. The food is not very tasty, lobsters are twice as expensive as other places, they cheat very brazenly and without any twinge of conscience. The evening was hopelessly ruined.
P.S. Please note that a 10% tip is included in the bill.

Don’t go the food is horrible did not taste good at all we ordered appetizers and drinks. The plantains with cheese tasted like bread with tasteless cheese, the tuna was a mixture of ketchup and mayonnaise and the service was horrible. I had to tell the waitress where the vodka we drank was from and she had no social skills. This restaurant was way to expensive for the quality of everything.

EXCESSIVELY expensive!!!! a plate of lobster + a bottle of water + service included = 70$ CND!! If you want to go, bring US dollars because the exchange rate is HORRIBLE!. Remember the bottle of esau is not free, nor bread. Everything you take is EXTRA ( + $$$$$ )

We were a family of four adults eating lunch. The cocktails were perfect. Appetizers including guacamole, mole, plantains were all delicious. Mains including grilled lobsters, and chicken dishes were also expertly prepared and with flavours you will not find in any Varadero resort. Paying (about $200 CAD) with a combination of Cuban pesos and CAD seemed to be exceptionally troublesome for the server and he complained. We were a little surprised by that. We would definitely return for the food, but should likely keep it simple with one currency if we have the same server.

My experience was very bad. We were at the restaurant in September 2022 and we thought it was very good, now (August 2023) we returned as a family very excited, however the experience was not pleasant. The service has greatly deteriorated, the food mediocre, the atmosphere cold. Several unattended tables, the uncomfortable place and very poor management of attention…

Our hotel guy suggested this restaurant for our first outing from our hotel. The food was great. But the bill was HORRENDOUS. We totally got scammed. The bill was just shy of $600 Canadian!
We went to El Toro a few days later to eat the same plate only to find out the average price of a lobster dinner was not even $10. El Toro has my heart! They were honest with their prices knowing we weren’t from Cuba. Food was delicious. They were so humble and attentive at making us very happy. If you’re looking for delicious Cuban food you must check out El Toro!

The place is nice, calm, were on Friday evening, landing a couple of tables total, tried tartare of fish with garlic, octopus and grilled fish, as well as cocktails. The octopus was a little overcooked, it was already hard, the fish was delicious. The cocktails are good.
If you look at the budget, it's acceptable.
But if not - go to varadero60 (next door) it will be more interesting and delicious much

We were recommended Waco's by several people and went early in the afternoon. It was cozy and air conditioned, and accepted multiple options for payment. The food was delicious, and on the higher price end for the area, but well worth it for the quality and presentation.

We were at this restaurant on March 15, 2022. Our bartender had recommended it to us and we thank him for that! We had an outside table on the top level overlooking the water. The waiters were extremely attentive and the menu was varied. There were 6 of us and we all were impressed. Wine selection was great as well. Wine was kept in ice and bottle was wrapped before serving us .We were even treated to a sky full of lightning in the distance. Prices were inexpensive. Next time I am in the area I will be sure to return
