Literally we have been excited to come here for a while. FINALLY arrived & wanted a drink at the bar before being seated for dinner. The girl behind the bar had ZERO personality & had nothing to offer except a slapping menu in front of me. I asked what the best way to reserve a table was & she POINTED at the front stand & told me to, "talk to him". I went to "him" & he said they get busy (this is a Friday night) around 7:30 pm. This was maybe 6:45 pm so I asked for a table right away- we were seated in a cool table/booth in front of where the band would play. Literally sat there for 10 minutes & not 1 person acknowledged us. NOT 1!!! Servers clearing tables & made EYE CONTACT with me... still NOTHING. RUDE & ARROGANT servers!! My husband said we were leaving & started to get up. A server came towards us asking if we were ready... NOPE, leaving!!! Absolutely rude as heck & we were truly looking forward to our experience. Nice space, but RUDE SERVICE. Not 1 server smiled & the only fun witnessed was a server dancing in the door where the kitchen was. Otherwise literally lifeless. Sad, actually. Oh well!!! read more

Loved the vibe and ambiance of this restaurant, it's a nice spot with a great atmosphere. My only downside was that a dog was permitted inside, and I ended up moving outside because I wasn't comfortable dining indoors with one nearby read more

Visiting Lawrenceville my friend and I stumbled upon this place. It was mid day Saturday and we sat right away on the patio. Brunch was going on until 3 so we got a chance to brunch. We tried the ceviche for the table. It was extremely bland, but table salt helped. The steak with the chimmichuri sauce was delicious! It smelled so good one of my friends ordered it for herself. The service was good. Be warned if you're paying with tap, and the amount is above $49 you'll have to split it. I had to make 3 separate payments to cover the bill. That's a weird system! Overall good experience and would recommend! read more

I placed a catering order and paid for it on 7/15/ 28' for 7/18/26 Called the restaurant when I was en route to confirm order for pick up. I was informed it was be ready in 10 minutes. It took 45 minutes. Ask to speak a manager. The manager comes and ask in an irate voice"What's my problem "?. I explain what happened. He said "I don't need your business " and gave me money back. read more

Although my food was good, I was not wowed my the service. Our server, Tracy barely paid attention to our table of 9. We were brought a table of waters although was never asked if we wanted anything other than water. No refills were given unless asked. The restaurant was especially slow for the lack of service we were given. Cute restaurant but the workers seemed more involved in each other than their customers. read more

It's been quite some time since I've been here and I don't know why because I really like the food and the cocktails are amazing! I went (alone) at 4:00pm to grab a quick bite before a bread making class 2 doors down. Only one booth was occupied, so great timing! The young lady that sat me also was my server and she was so sweet, and knew the menu well. She also pointed out that although I had just missed the lunch deals (till 4:00 which is great) that Tiki Happy Hour was until 6:00 pm with certain cocktails at $9 instead of $13 along with several reduced small plates like $3 baja shrimp or fish tacos normally $5. Empanadas were included. I've posted pics of all the menus and the Tiki happy hour. I had my heart set on the garlic shrimp which is a regular appetizer served with garlic toast bc it was my favorite at one time. Of course, it still is scrumptious although the shrimp were ever so slightly over cooked. I also had the Colado de Pineapple and boy was it DELICIOUS so was the Havana mule that I had next . I had a nice buzz for the bread class after both of them. The place is still spotless and the ladies room was sparkling clean. I can guarantee I will not wait so long before my next visit! read more

We stopped in to D'Floridian for the first time during Gwinnett burger week. We have heard great things about D' Floridian and their Oxtail soup, their tapas and the churasco Skirt Steak. But we went in for their featured Burger which was fantastic! We also ordered some fries. Seems so un-authentic, but it got our foot in the door and we loved our meal and the service. We will definitely return to try that infamous skirt steak! The restaurant is right on the Lawrenceville Square and they do have outdoor seating. The place was lively, and the bar was full. Looking forward to returning. This place has a fun vibe and is a solid option for a night out. read more

As someone who was born and raised in Miami I've been struggling to find a place in the Atlanta area that's actually authentic. This place is absolutely amazing. It feels like I'm back at home. The service was amazing and quick and the staff were super sweet. The food is amazing. I drove from midtown and it's 100% worth the drive. If you want actually authentic good food, I would recommend! Can't wait to come back read more

I stopped here for a quick lunch and ordered garlic shrimp and two margaritas. The garlic shrimp was good and the margaritas hit me harder than I expected. The bartender/server kept me engaged in light conversation while doing the same with other customers at the bar. Pretty cool! The inside decor has an industrial look which adds to ambiance. Overall I like this place but next time I'm only drinking one margarita instead of two (for lunch). read more

I went to dflo with a couple of my girls, we got there on Friday around 9 and surprisingly there was no wait time! For some reason I felt like It would be more packed. I shared the ceviche, it was bomb! The right amount of saltiness and citrusy! All I was missing was the spice We ordered the calamari as well! My friend isn't a big seafood girl but she loved it! Personally it was a bit bland for me almost tasted like nothing. For entree we got the ropa vieja! It's the Cuban version of barbacoa! Super good!! Portions are pretty hefty even the appetizers. Their drinks are always good! I got the lycheee martini, try it before it's gone! It is a seasonal drink for summer! My friends love their coconut mojitos! Service is great are server was funny! And very attentive (: Usually we sit inside, but I find the live music super loud! So we chose to sit in the back patio which I lovedddd! Super pretty and you can still hear the band (: read more

Celebrated a friend's birthday there . Disappointed with the overall experience. Server was basically an order taker . Quiet voice and unable to describe menu items or sauces . Food is a 5 out of 10, with no stand out flavors and lukewarm . Margaritas were served in Tiki glasses .They should consider sticking to counter service and limiting their menu to items they could execute better. $72 with tip for two people for an experience that was worth $35 . Sad part, is I was really looking forward to dining there. read more

As long as I've lived in Lawrenceville, I had never tried this place until recently. This was a cute gem in Downtown Lawrenceville. Place was spacious, service was great, beautiful restaurant, with a good selection on the menu. The foods that my friend and I got were delicious and up to our expectations. Service was somewhat slow, but both us and staff were very patient. I forgot my sunglasses there and when I ran back to get it, they had it waiting for me. Thank you again! read more

It's better than it looks, food was really good and tasted pretty fresh, service was good!

This place went above and beyond! We were looking for a place to get our crew of 12 and they told me no reservations on the weekends but we were coming at 5:30 and they said that would be perfect. Well little did we know when we came during this festival weekend in Lawrenceville that the restaurant would be packed and they still accommodated us with no wait!!!! Honestly it was stunning we had this huge high top. Our waitress was so patient and so nice as we were celebrating my grandpa's 93rd birthday. We got the empanada and croquetas for appetizers which both were great and we tried drinks from mojitos to sangria and they were all large and delicious We all tried tons of entrees but I personally tried the Cuban and the croqueta sandwich and oh my god just stunning. Some of the best Cuban food I have had outside Miami. The best part: for my grandpa's birthday they gave him a tequila shot!!!! Just stunning I love this place!!! Can't wait to come back read more

Hey, if you're a regular in DTL then you know that D'Floridian has a full bar and makes their drinks right! As the weather opens up into sunny skies, be sure to stop by for some summer cocktails where you can enjoy them inside and out. For our late lunch, my folks and I stopped by for a bite to eat and some summer cocktails. I ordered the Baja Tacos and had a Summer Breeze cocktail. Both delicious and made well. I've seen it get a little crowded here, but that's usually in primetime. We had no issue with seating around 2-3pm. Parking is easy enough. I'd suggest parking in the parking deck and enjoying the short walk over. There's also paid parking close by if you need to donate some money. Thanks for the great service Aguasanta! read more

This was my first visit to a true Cuban restaurant and it didn't disappoint. I asked our server (Aguassanta) what she recommended and she was very knowledgeable and courteous with her responses. I had the Ropa Vieja and it was amazing. I also decided to try a Cuban Coffee (espresso) and expected it to be very rich and bold - little did I know they added sugar to it making it something I seek out now. Overall, the service, food and value were amazing and I can't wait to come back. read more

We came to this restaurant yesterday Sunday for the first time after passing by it a few times. We are Cubans and to our surprise Our waitress Jailin was also Cuban, she was simply AMAZING!!!. She was very attentive, professional and made our experience very pleasant. We even told the manager about her awesome service. I ordered the Guava DF which is an Infused guava tequila, fresh lime, agave nectar and it was really delicious. I actually had three of those but the very first tasted more like Guava than the other two. For appetizers we ordered the Ham Croquettes and Chicken Empanadas. They were just alright, not bad but definitely not the best we've ever had. They needed more seasoning somehow. I ordered the Pan con Bistec which came with white rice and black beans, the sandwich itself was good however the black beans had no flavor whatsoever which was disappointing. It definitely needed some seasoning. The music that was playing when we came in was really nice and made the ambiance fun for sure. read more

Omg!! So glad I decided to check out D'Floridian. I'm not sure I've had authentic Cuban food before, but if you have or have not, you should definitely try D'Floridian. The hostess/waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered the shrimp ceviche, the garlic shrimp, and fish tacos. The food was served hot and was freshly prepared with fresh ingredients! We also ordered mojitos and they tasted good too! The restaurant itself was clean and modern...had a great ambiance as well. I will definitely be back to try new dishes! read more

The place was clean. The waiter was good however, the food we thought it was cold and flavorless.

Ordered empanadas (1 chicken, 1 beef) for appetizer. The beef was great but the chicken was a bit dry but it got the job done. Entrees included oxtail and pan con Bistec (steak sandwich). The Bistec was good, much better than I anticipated. The steak was tender and the right amount of mayo/lettuce/tomato ratio. Very good. The oxtails were . Surprisingly they gave a good amount for the price with a lot of sauce for the rice. My first experience and must say I would return. Recommend. read more

Excellent food and service. Will be back again and will also try the Woodstock location.

Heard a lot of great things about this restaurant so decided to take my mother says she loves food. What can I say? The food was excellent from the appetizer to the main dish. We walked in, and was greeted with a smile by the hostess. I was server came and she asked us have we ever been here before and we both said no. She then pointed out some great dishes on the menu and recommend it the salmon and red snapper. that's exactly what we ordered and it was delicious. We were very pleased with the atmosphere and music of the restaurant. Can't wait to come back and enjoy the great food again. Thank you for a great dining experience. read more

Loveeeee finding really good Cuban food! I ordered the Vaca Frita meal which comes with rice, beans and plantains and it was delicious. The flavor of the Vaca Frita was on point, the meat was crispy enough without being dry and the beans was seasoned perfectly. The empanadas for my personal opinion were not great and I wouldn't order them again as the ground beef was a bit minced and I did not enjoy the flavor. However I'll be looking forward to trying some of the other tapas the next time we visit. The drinks!!! Both the D'Floridian and the coconut mojito (isn't on the menu but just ask for it) were delicious and strong! Just how it's supposed to be, the sizes of the drinks were good too as you only need one. The place gets pretty packed, we sat at the bar as we didn't want to wait for a table but the customer service was great and everyone was moving pretty quickly. We look forward to going again! read more

Finally got My cafe con leche and it was done right! I also enjoyed my meal, the Empanazido with rice & beans, plantains yum! My husband said his Cuban sandwich was good, a little dry in the center. We went during Sunday brunch time and they had a DJ playing music, which was nice but a little bit loud for what we were looking for so we decided to sit out back, what a nice back patio it had pretty flowers hanging from the ceiling and nice booths, I wish I had taken pictures! read more

Had a great time here for my birthday! Apparently the day I went was everyone's birthday including mine but they still had me feeling super special. I loved that they offered a complimentary shot or flan for the birthday person. My friend surprised me and had them bring me a shot. Since the house was packed service was a little slow but our waiter was still awesome and didn't look crazy overwhelmed. He was able to explain dishes for us and answered all our questions knowledgeably. He was even able to make a great referrals for dessert. Out of all the dishes we got, the skirt steak was definitely the best. The authentic cuban was a bit dry though the brisket cuban was very good. The appetizer sampler was.. okay. There wasn't anything on it I'd get again. And I def cut my mouth with the tostones. LOL Would recommend! It's a really neat place with a great vibe. They also have live music after a certain time. Drinks aren't that strong but good none the less. read more

Came here while visiting family, the food here is really good especially the ox tails! They were amazing! The sauce by itself was delicious! The garlic shrimp is a must as well. This is a really nice spot to eat or just to grab drinks and of course the best part for me they have outside seating! It was a little on the cold side so we ate inside. My only issue with the service was I ordered the wrong drink due to the picture on the menu. I don't drink tequila and that was the liquor of choice in the drink. My server as well as the manager told me I could not replace another drink for the one I did not like for a new one. They stated there was a non refundable policy on liquor, which is fine. I asked to see the policy in writing and the manager told me no. I ended up getting another drink which was a passion fruit Mojito and it was delicious. I still recommend coming here just be careful ordering your drinks. read more

came for takeout at lunchtime on a Tuesday. Except for lack of good parking, which is a Lawrenceville city problem, not the restaurant's, this place was FABULOUS! Had a Cuban wrap and got Ropa Vieja for my daughter. The hostess who took my order offered me water whilek I waited, very friendly. The manager checked on me to make sure I was taken care of. Food was great! Very tasty. Good portions; I could only eat half of my sweet potato fries and wrap. I will definitely be back! read more

We chose this place for Valentine's Day and unfortunately had a really disappointing experience. We weren't aware there would be live music, which would have been fine except the volume was unbelievably loud. It wasn't just "lively," it was blasting. The room is small, and with a baby with us, it quickly became clear it wasn't safe or comfortable. When we stepped outside, the windows were literally vibrating from the sound. What made it more uncomfortable was that a staff member came up to us and said, "That's bad for the baby's ears, you should eat and leave," and then asked if we had headphones for her. That was surprising, considering the issue was how loud the restaurant chose to make the music. We ended up asking for our food to-go, which was disappointing since we had planned to celebrate and enjoy dinner there. After leaving and taking a short walk, we noticed the music had stopped. We paid a significant amount for a meal we didn't even get to sit and enjoy and to top it off, half of our order was missing when we got home. Overall, it was frustrating and disappointing, and we won't be returning. read more
