    Place is very welcoming. Nice people. Friendly. Food is good. Ambiance is fun. Live music was great. I would return. One of Las Vegas treasures.

    Cuba Cafe has been around for years! Their delectable menu has so much offer. Oftentimes, people don't think of going to restaurants just for desserts, however, this place has scrumptious desserts. Food and service is out of this world! I recommend you to visit this place as soon as you can! Prices are so affordable. This is a beautiful spot, they have live music on Fridays and Saturdays.

    Place wasn't packed at all when I came here. Only another couple dining in. Customer service was initially good, they were attentive but as the time progressed, we had to keep asking to refill our drinks. The food took a long time to arrive. I usually don't mind if the food is delicious but it lacked flavor. The appetizers came quickly, the empanadas were decent but doughy not enough filling. My oxtails were not tender at all and the sauce could've used more flavor it was very runny. I've had plenty of Cuban food around, so this place was a bit disappointing for me.

    I would rate Cuba Café as THE BEST Cuban restaurant in Las Vegas. Slightly higher prices but definitely worth it because of the quality and quantity.Our Pollo Salteado was delicious. Ordered an order of Yuca Frita (cassava fries). Much better than potato French fries. My Batido de Mamey (shake) was also delicious. Raul and Orlando were our servers and constantly checked to see if all was good. Nice atmosphere. Video displayed famous Latin singers in concert. Have gone here previously over the years.

    The food is very average in my opinion. Where this place shine is in its sangria and other alcoholic options. Another note I have is that the interior was waaaaay too dark when I went. I had trouble seeing my own food!

    This place has amazing food. Came here for live music on Saturday night. The best ox tail I have tasted so far. Wife loved the Palomilla. Great service and atmosphere ​​

    100% recomendado: Cuba Café en Las Vegas La comida deliciosa, el ambiente espectacular... ¡Y el servicio de Orlando? De otro nivel. Gracias por tratarnos como familia 100% recommended!! Amazing food, great mojitos and the service, 10/10. Don't miss out on this gem!!

    Located next to my favorite chicken spot, I stopped by here for a Cubano sandwich for myself and a coworker. The service was good, and the restaurant was beautifully decorated. Ordered the Cubano sandwich, and it came with fries. It was delcious, and my co-worker also enjoyed it. We will definitely be back.

    I've always wanted to try a Cuban spot and I'm so glad I found one! The Cuban dishes were surprisingly simple however very delicious. I'm no expert in Cuban cuisine however to me, this style of cuisine comes off as a humble culinary style. The ingredients used seem to be very flavorful and neutral vs other styles of Hispanic cuisine which are spicy or robust. Also, the dishes and drinks remind me of something tropical. The dishes are served with plantains and for cocktails there's tons of different pina colada or mojito type drinks. At night there's a bar that is open, and I was told on Friday and Saturday nights the dance floor is open with a live band and singer starting at 9pm. What I can tell you is that if you're looking for strong drinks, this is the place for you. Even the tropical fruity drinks were pretty stiff so there's no skimping on alcohol here!

    Dress code?? Looks super casual, yet in Yelp description it says casual/classy. Um, that's two complete different looks. Help?

    Not classy, just casual, but not super casual

    Can we bring a bottle of wine?

    I think they will sell you the wine

    Is there salsa dancing?

    Dancing is on Saturdays and starts at 7 PM

    So sad to see A Different Beast go! I saw that they've been open for quite a while now, but…read moreunfortunately I only recently discovered them a few months ago after seeing an Instagram reel. This spot isn't located in the best plaza as parking can be really tight due to how small it is. I initially came here with a few friends and did the Suave menu ($55 per person) because we couldn't decide whether to splurge or not, but was open to coming back if we enjoyed it. Although the menu is AYCE, for a first time experience, it was recommended to go down the list like a tasting menu. After going through the entire menu with the remaining time you have, you can re-order any of your favorites that you tried. Service was very quick and attentive. Every item came out in a timely manner to ensure that no time is lost! My favorites were the Spring Peas and Pulpo. A Different Beast is honestly a perfect date night or a girl's night out spot. My first experience was so stellar that I came back to try the Premio menu ($65 per person). Luckily when I came back, a few items had changed, but majority was the same. Off of this menu, my absolute all time favorite has to be the Foie Gras!! Sooo melt-in-your-mouth-buttery! It makes sense why it's a one time order only, sadly. My 2nd time visiting wasn't as mind blowing due to already knowing what to expect but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. A Different Beast is definitely a one-of-a-kind experience and I wish there were more AYCE tapas places like this!

    Service was excellent and the price is so good for this type of food and venue. The food came out…read morereally fast and I love being able to taste all the different brushes in smaller bites. We chose the highest price prix fixe set of $65, which includes one Foie gras tapas. This was my favorite one. My other favorites would be the Txaka, which is a crab salad, Spring Peas, Scallop Ceviche, and the Iberico Jamon Bellota. Least favorite were the Atun y Tomate and Morcilla con huevos de Codorniz (blood sausage). I would given it 5 stars but the chef uses small toast rounds for almost every dish. I guess this makes you full but it became repetitive and sometimes overpowered the actual dish.

Somehow, this location may be even more charming. It feels a little more quaint and intimate while still delivering that same awesome Firefly experience we've always loved. The food is unreal. We ordered 15+ different plates to share and somehow our bill was still just over $100. For the quality, variety, and amount of food you get, the value is seriously hard to beat. Service was amazing, the food kept coming, and the company was even better. Firefly is one of those restaurants that is perfect for going with friends, ordering a ridiculous amount of food, passing everything around the table, and trying a little bit of everything. This will remain one of my absolute favorite restaurants in town and somewhere I'll continue to frequent as regularly as my occasional allowance for excessive calorie consumption will permit. My advice: try everything on the menu at least once. You really can't go wrong here. Thank you, Firefly!

    I had heard good things about this restaurant, but for some reason I was under the impression that…read moreit was on the strip. As a local, I prefer neighborhood dining. The entrance was a bit puzzling, as we entered through a back door based on the way the parking in the area is designed, but they had the door clearly labeled that it was an entrance. We were greeted by someone who ended up being our server when we passed the bar to head to the hostess. We were greeted by the hostess and another employee (manager?) at the hostess station and promptly seated. They have a very welcoming staff. The food was amazing. They course it out for you. We decided to start with 4 items, as I had plans for dessert, but being concerned about my husband, I added an extra dish near the end which ultimately lead to me waddling to the car with an overly full stomach. We tried..... -the crispy brussels -the beef carpaccio -the kale salad -the spinach mafaldine -the Mediterranean dorade (fish) -the pistachio tiramisu Everything was absolutely amazing. We will most definitely be returning some time soon!

The dining room is dim and intimate but not dark. Definitely a mood. From start to finish, the service was impeccable. The sommelier was very knowledgeable with his recommendations with the wine we all could enjoy for the whole table. Our server Eric was excellent! His energy was amazing. Among the dishes we tried were the bread with ricotta, the patatas bravas(thin sliced potatoes pressed and cut into long logs) the dry aged iberico(one of the best bites of the night) the croquettes with truffle and iberico. For mains we all shared the steak frites, short rib pasta, seafood risotto, the dry aged pork(everyone's favorite) and the short rib and potatoes (super tender). As for dessert, the pistachio tiramisu was yummy but the deconstructed key lime pie is a must. This place is such a gem in the southwest Las Vegas area and as much as I want to gatekeep it, you guys have to come and try it. They are for sure getting their Michelin star next year

    I am torn as I really want to give this place more stars because the food was really good (more on…read morethat later) but there was something that made that hard to do. We have dined there in the past and have always sat at a table but we came in on a whim and there was only bar seating, which was fine. But the girl bartender (Annie??) was extremely mean and rude to us for some reason. We were polite, didn't complain about anything, didn't ask to modify our food at all and left over 20% gratuity. When we asked questions she talked to us like we were stupid. Everyone else was outstanding. The guy with the braids and Frank were awesome and the Sommelier was really cool and was passionate about his wine list. My fiancé and I are both industry vets and we understand that sometimes you aren't always in the best mood but this felt oddly personal. Again, we have no idea what we did wrong. The food was exceptional. Some highlights are: Oxtail hummus: The best hummus I've ever had and the oxtail was cooked to perfection. Oysters: we did half and half of both options and they were both great and super unique. Banh Cuon: Usually made with pork, they use duck and it is awesome. The sauce should be bottled. Octopus: Perfection on a plate. Passionfruit dessert: So, so good. Perfect way to end dinner after some spicy elements in the food. Pandan cocktail: One of the better drinks I've ever had. We had more food but these are the items I can remember off of the top of my head. This was from about a month ago but my Yelp account was hijacked and I haven't been able to get it back yet and had to make a new one . So overall everything was amazing except for that one issue.

I certainly understand the Michelin recommendation. The service was outstanding, we asked for an off menu cocktail and a split dish (half and half oysters) which they accommodated. They kept up with refilling our waters. Some standout dishes for me were the dry aged bluefin tuna, the oysters, the "dan-dan" rabbit paccheri, and the Spanish octopus. I did enjoy our first visit but this was much more memorable. Everything we tried was beautifully plated, all of the ingredients served a purpose and blended beautifully together. The ambiance with the small table lamps was enough to see the beautiful dishes but keep the mood relaxed and intimate. The cost was much more reasonable compared to other higher end restaurants of similar or lesser quality in vegas. I highly recommend
