I'm not usually one to write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience. I arrived about…read more20 minutes after they opened and ordered the Cuban sandwich. I've had many Cubans throughout the Tampa Bay area, and I can honestly say this was the best I've ever had. The quality was exceptional -- the meats were incredibly fresh, and the balance of juicy pickles and tangy mustard elevated every bite. Beyond the food, the atmosphere impressed me as well. It's a cool, spacious venue with a long bar and a welcoming staff that made the experience even better. I would absolutely recommend it and plan to return. I'm still impressed by how outstanding that sandwich was.

I may slightly resemble Uncle Fester, but that does NOT give a server an excuse to not approach me at all. From the moment I sat down, I waited a while until I kindly asked for a menu. The barmaid gave it to me, without saying anything else. Then I had to notify her that I was ready to order, after waiting a few minutes. After I told her I wanted the Cuban sandwich, she said "okay" and walked away. She brought the plate to me, and set it in front of me without saying anything. Nor did she swing by, to ask how my food was. The guy with the dark haired bowl-cut was the ONLY one who asked how my food was, and he wasn't even my waiter! I was too kind to give her a tip anyway. Some people jussssst do not belong in customer service, if they lack communication skills or common sense. I didn't feel comfortable with staying there, after the cold reception from the barmaid, and left.

Bamboo, thatch roofs, tiki umbrellas and sand...it's all there. While we were very slow to be acknowledged after being seated, once we were, the service was on point! Orders were taken promptly and delivered in reasonable times. We all ordered from their specialty cocktail list, and we all agreed they were very good. My Miami Mule was one of the best I have had in a while. Fruit flavor was forward, you could actually taste the bite of the ginger beer, and they didn't skimp on the alcohol. While I didn't order food, the rest of my family did and they all enjoyed their meals. The only downside was the bugs! BRING BUG SPRAY! The Getaway is all outdoor, located on the bay in the Mangroves, and it's home to biting insects. We were almost eaten alive by the tiny biting flies (noseeums, flying teeth). They were annoying as hell. While bugs come with the territory, a can of bug spray or a few citronella candles on the tables would be nice.

The recommendation did not disappoint. While waiting for our table, we sat at the bar, where the bartender could not have been nicer. He took special care of our underage daughter, asking about her favorite flavors and creating a delicious nonalcoholic drink just for her. That kind of personal attention made her--and all of us--feel especially welcome. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lively, and the entertainment made the evening feel like much more than simply dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and judging by the energy throughout the restaurant, everyone around us was having a wonderful time as well. The Edison is an excellent choice for a memorable evening away from the parks.

I wish they would've played for longer though. And the 90 minutes we were there. I think they played maybe 15.

Nice outdoor covered space with ample seating spaced apart a nice bar with seating all around and lots of fans to take the edge off the heat. The Hostess greeted us and was very inviting. The food and cocktail menus were filled with tempting choices. Everything ordered came in a reasonable time, temperature appropriate, and we were all able to eat at the same time which is a challenge for some with large parties. Chef Paul Mattison was on premises and spent some time with us. He shared that the fried artichokes, were inspired by his grandmother and was something he remembered as a kid. Of course we ordered those and they certainly delivered. The levels of flavor and texture were outstanding. Tom was very humble and appreciative of our visit. Other dishes enjoyed were salmon, mushroom pizza, and meatballs. I Wanted a salad with shrimp which was not on the menus but they accommodated my request without question. All meals were built with levels of Flavor and throughly enjoyed. During our meal a band came and played at a level that you could Enjoy and still have a conversation at your table. MCG was very clean all the way around. Our experience at MCG and with Chef Mattison and his MCG Family was very enjoyable. On our way out I saw an artistic statue of a dog. I asked the host what it represented and was told Chef Maddison sponsored Guide/Service Dogs and for each dog sponsored you receive an awesome statue. I was told he had others at his other locations. I thought this to be a part of MCG's way to give back to the community so I researched it. I found the programs to Be called Superhero's on Parade through Southeastern Guide Dogs. Businesses that care about their communities in such a selfless way are a cut above. Bravo Chef.

I believe it may have been the Havana Ballroom. There was plenty of food, drinks, and mingling. The Cuba Libre Restaurant staff were great, and the venue was well laid out and worked for this event very well. When we arrived around 6:30 PM on a Saturday evening for our event, we first mingled around the tables and near the cash bar. There were a bunch of large tables that we began to fill out. As our program began and announces made and awards given out, appetizers were passed out. We were offered Guacamole Cubano, Mama Amelia's Empanadas, and Shrimp Cocktail which we passed around to the entire table. Personally, I skipped the guacamole and shrimp dishes but absolutely loved the empanadas. Yum! Then, an individual Cuban House Salad was passed out with red wine vinaigrette. This was also quite tasty. Next came the entrees including a choice of Salmon Paradiso, Ropa Vieja, Citrus Chicken, or Paella Vegetariana. I was trying to decide between the Ropa Vieja (beef brisket) and the Citrus Chicken. While the Citrus Chicken sounded perfect, I asked the serving staff their advice, and they recommended the Ropa Vieja for a true taste of Cuba. I was happy that I did even though it may have been more heavy and with a kick than I was expecting. I'm still glad I ordered it though. It was wonderfully prepared! And then, everyone received Cuban Flan for dessert. The Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar celebrates Cuban heritage and explores Cuban flavors, music, art, and traditions. The mission of the restaurant is to provide an "escape" to Havana through exciting food and beverages and entertainment experiences to celebrate the Cuban people and their culture.
