Soy parte de Velvet Havana Cabaret, show residente en este venue, y me gusta recomendarlo con honestidad. Hay lugares que no solo se visitan: se viven. Aquí el ambiente es cálido, íntimo y con ese toque de “noche bonita” donde el vino y la música se sienten a tiempo. El staff se esfuerza y, cuando el lugar está lleno, mantienen la energía con profesionalismo. Buen plan para celebrar, salir en pareja o traer amigos.
Además, recomiendo chequear las membresías: tienen opciones con descuentos y beneficios, y experiencias como wine tasting, wine club y hasta cigar/tobacco club. Si te gusta volver y vivir la experiencia más de una vez, esas membresías pueden darte muy buenas ventajas (incluyendo beneficios para dinner shows). En resumen: un sitio con carácter, y una noche que se recuerda.

We really enjoyed this experience. We went here on a date night and the ambiance, food, and drinks were all great. The only thing that we had an issue with was there was a little bit of a language barrier as we do not speak Spanish, and there was a little mixup with our appetizer, but that’s no big deal.
Food: Get some plates we ordered the tuna tacos, which were delicious. Surf and turf, ribeye, guava, cheesecake, and crème brûlée. Everything was honestly very well done and delicious. We also ordered a drink which was yummy.
Definitely recommended for a date night. They have a really nice outdoor area as well.

I would like to share thats this place almost won us over. I made a reservation prior to Valentine's Day. So i can surpise my woman and give her the best experience on Valentine's Day. The disappoinent was the menu. This fix menu that had i could of went and ate some where else and have a big juice steak. $500.00 and leave disappointed. Bad business! A so called 5 course meal. The food was terrible and cold. My lamb chops came raw. I asked to cooked them a little more and they brought me another plate the same way raw inside. Again asked for them to cook them more. They brought me another plate. RAW! Including a 22% service fee. Vary disappoinent. Which was $98.00. Tip. I also asked from the beginning If I could spend the same money and order from there main menu. The answer was no!

Visited this location on Sunday with my grandchildren. Valet parking only is a little disappointing. The gentleman that run the valet were nice and professional. The meals we ordered were expensive and presentation was good but the food was awful. I ordered the kids macaroni and cheese and the chicken strips with fries. The macaroni and cheese was exact copy of Kraft macaroni and cheese. Tasted like it as well. It was $10. That was my first disappointment. The chicken strips and fries were good but not fresh made. Came from a distributor frozen in a bag. That meal was $14.00. The 2 fresh lemonades I got for the kids we're excellent. Tasted fresh and not overly sweet. $10. for 2 lemonades. I ordered a cappuccino for my drink. It was very good. $4.00. I also ordered the Chicken pasta with penne pasta. Was extremely salty and the portion was very small. $25.00 for that.
Before we received our drinks and meals I accidentally dropped my fork. The busboy picked it up but didn't bring me a replacement. I had to get one from a table next to me. Also a hostess grabbed a chair from my table and just said excuse me. I mean it was ok but why couldn't she get a chair from a table that wasn't occupied. It was just awkward. I loved that they had a violin player entertaining the patrons. My grandchildren loved it.
So my impression of this restaurant is not a good one. I noticed when we drove past that it looked very busy. I've been in the restaurant business for over 35 years and that usually tells me that the food must be good. But unfortunately that was not the case. I won't be going back. I would prefer to spend my money when it's worth it.

We chose A Love Story to celebrate a special anniversary, and given the restaurant’s pricing and reputation, we expected an experience that reflected professionalism, inclusivity, and attention to detail—especially since we paid extra for anniversary décor and a curated dining experience.
Unfortunately, the beginning of our visit was deeply disappointing. As a same-sex couple, we were initially approached by a server named Brian. Once it became clear that we were a same-sex couple, his demeanor changed noticeably. He did not return to our table and instead sent another server without explanation. There was no communication, no handoff, and no professionalism shown in how the situation was handled. Being dismissed in that way, particularly during an anniversary celebration at a high-end restaurant, was uncomfortable and disheartening.
To be clear, when you work in hospitality—especially in an upscale establishment—you are expected to serve everyone with the same level of respect and care. Personal bias has no place in a professional dining environment.
That said, we want to sincerely thank Elizabeth, who stepped in and completely turned the service around. She was attentive, kind, professional, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. Her service was excellent and truly reflected the level of hospitality this restaurant should consistently provide.
The food and ambiance were enjoyable, but an experience like this is about more than cuisine—it’s about how guests are treated. For a restaurant that positions itself as romantic and celebratory, inclusivity and professionalism should be non-negotiable.
We hope management takes this feedback seriously so that future guests—regardless of who they love—are treated with the respect they deserve.
