The latest restaurant alongside Top Ryde Shopping Centre. It is very busy and I love the cocktail feel and the chatter of excited Friday nighters. The decor of the restaurant is quite rustic and the music is pumping along. If I wasn't a lone diner tonight I might swivel those hips and get up and dance. I worry when you order and pay before receiving the food. There is no where to go if you are not terribly satisfied. The waitress was very helpful when she asked about the meal I just ate. Now to be truthful...going to a new place I will try something that I am familiar with to compare. The bean nachos were very spicy. I think I have Botox lips now!! Well they might enhance my look as a lover! Watch out Sydneysiders! Ha I would come here again. There is a good range of food and drinks and the bar is open to visit before going to the movies. read more

Quite average Cuban/Mexican restaurant. Food is a bit expensive, but they have a "kids eat free" deal which is good. The fajitas were not great, the Cuban sandwich was ok. Nacho loaded fries were good. Nothing too outstanding, but Top Ryde just doesn't have very good options. They didn't seem to have enough waitstaff for the number of customers, but our food was brought out promptly, and aside from appearing harried, the servers were quite nice. read more

Quick brekky here while the fam is at Monkey Mania. The staff were friendly and chatty. The Soy mocha wasn't bad. Needed to be sweetend up but the coffee seemed okay. For the meal, I ordered the Huevos Benedictos. This is basically poached eggs served over plantains. Instead of the regular ham or bacon, they use slow cooked pork. Hollandaise seemed quite interesting. Freshly made but spiced up with a few extra ingredients. And remember...it is spicy. So if you're not feeling spice for brekky, skip it. All in all...I'd say the whole thing was fairly middle of the road. read more

Interesting Cuban, Latino restaurant with charming decor throughout. Tasty Foods were well presented with good service. Great to sit outdoor with family and dog to enjoy the festive atmosphere. read more

Edit: See update below. Have eaten here a few times and each time the experience gets worse. The food itself is fine, nice and spicy if you like it, not an overwhelming menu, but a little overpriced. The Cuban sandwiches are pretty good, try the haloumi or pulled pork, both worth it. The alcoholic drinks are a ripoff. $15 for watery and ice laden cocktails, $8.50 for a decent IPA. Service levels have been going down increasingly over the months, to the point where you have to physically stand and find a waiter to ask them for service. Two people working on a Wednesday lunchtime means it takes almost an hour to get even the starters. Ambience is good, with lots of Cuban pictures etc. on the wall (old ladies smoking huge cigars), and lots of old crap lining the shelves. Final nail in the coffin is they just recently introduced a 1.5% credit card surcharge - best of luck with that. I won't be returning. 1 star for the Cuban sandwiches, 1 star for the crap on the walls. Missing star for value, missing star for service, missing star for the blatent ripoff of a credit card surcharge (prices on the menu didn't drop in conjunction with this). Avoid it, plenty more places which are better value with decent food. Edit December 12th 2017: Reduced to 1 star (would do zero if I could). Last time we went here (yes, we're suckers for punishment), the service became even worse. If you want to be insulted, assaulted, and told to f**k off when you walk out due to terrible service, go here. Totally unacceptable behaviour by the unprofessional waiter. Will warn everyone I know to steer clear of this place. read more

We came here due to a deal on Dimmi. The waitress was rude to us from the start pretty much. Assuming we didn't book... which we did. We got seated and waited ages to get menus, ages to order and ages to get our food. It was a Monday night and they only seemed to have two people working. Both people seemed to be under considerable stress to serve the number of people there. Which you can only blame the owners for... I imagine most people there had booked on Dimmi as i saw them turning people without a booking away (with some attitude). If people had booked on Dimmi then surely you could anticipate how many staff would be needed for that night??!? The saddest thing about it is the food was very good and if it was served quicker and staff were nicer this surely would have become our regular local. So hopefully the owner becomes less cheap and gets more staff to improve the customer experience. My partner wanted to walk out after it took 35 mins just to take our order... as we knew we were in for a long night... read more

Some years ago the boy and i had been to the Rouse Hill location, we weren't too happy with the service but thought we'd give it another shot. After a bit of shopping we stopped for dinner, the restaurant was quiet, there were a couple of tables taken but they all seemed to be ordered and waiting for food. We took a seat in one of the booths and studied the menu. There seemed to only be one waiter working. Our drink orders were taken and arrived shortly after. We then ordered dinner which was the plantain chips, a bbq beef and bacon burger (with no pickles and bacon on the side) and the cubano to share. The burger was a standard beef burger with bacon, cheese and BBQ sauce with the added pickles and aioli. The cubano was a pressed sandwich with sliced ham, slow cooked pulled pork, swiss cheese, pickles, mustard, both were served with chips. The food arrived... who knew plantain chips were dried banana?! I guess everyone but me! We ordered another round of drinks and stated eating. When we were almost finished the waiter appeared to ask how our food was, no drinks in site. We reminded him and quickly had our drinks. The food was good, the decor is fantastic but the service left little to the imagination. There is one thing i absolutely hate and that's when a waiter doesn't use a notepad!! read more

We come here mostly on a hot day to lounge in their very comfy, well padded chairs and have a cocktail or two. We usually share a nachos whilst we are at it. The manager is lovely,. She doesn't miss much. Would I go out of my way to eat here? No, probably not, but out of the choices at Top Ryde, it's one of the only two I'd return to, and return I do. Go on a nice, sunny day, order a cocktail, sit back, enjoy the quirky decor, watch the antics of kids playing in the water feature and relax. Don't count on stellar service, that's very much touch and go, but we return often enough anyway. read more

There was nothing "Cuban" about the "Havana Feast". 2 eggs 3 mini hash browns 1 slice of toast 3 (small) cuts of thinly sliced chorizo Spinach leaves and cherry tomatoes. $19.50 When you have chorizo listed as included in the dish, you would expect more than 3 thinly sliced cuts of chorizo. For what you are paying, this dish was a big let down. The "Tropical Smoothie" was bland and flavourless. I could pick up some fruitiness but couldn't distinguish what fruit it was. There was also no table service so you have to order at the bar. The family sitting next to me found out the hard way, after they had been sitting down for almost 20 minutes. The closest this venue got to giving its customers a "Cuban" experience was by blaring out some Latin music through its PA. read more

Great setup, love the decor/atmosphere/music - just right. Food was really good (we had tapas), fast friendly service, we will come again...

Grilled prawns = 6 small chewy rubber baby prawns & 1 piece of bread for the non-existent sauce (approx $14 of my money). The kids fared no better with their $10 popcorn chicken & chips - tiny rubber balls of chicken & fries were taken from a plastic bag & fried. Service friendly but sub-standard - on a quiet weekday evening just before 5pm, it took far too long to bring the prawns, then we had a gap of 20min to get the kids' meals. Sadly I'm not inspired to return. read more

Worst service I have ever experienced! I have been waiting for half an hour for my coffee. I know I am using a voucher which I believe I am also a customer should be treated equally like others. Not only I was ignored multiple times by the staff who prioritise other customers, I found their staff's attitude is quite rude, I cannot believe I saw they use their hand to put things directly into drinks, not very safety to take food there. No wonder they sniffing around and put a voucher into my mailbox because they don't have business and they will never have any business! read more

It seems like poor service is encouraged within this organisation. I contacted their head office about a month ago with a complaint about the awful service of the Top Ryde location and still have not received any response. I am very disappointed with this whole experience. I can only hope that mine was a one off and other diners have better luck (though based off the reviews here and on other sites there seems to be a negative trend). I certainly won't be returning. read more

Ordered the ribs and they consisted mostly of fat. After sliding the meat off the bone and separating the fat, inside the meat was particles of uncooked fat. I ended up finishing the tasty rice and beans and ate the remainder of my girlfriend's chicken tortillas. I was in no mood to change my food for something else, we just left. read more

the Cuban influence is more in the decor than the limited menu. servings are small, especially for the prices. careful with the chicken bites, weren't cooked through, edible but pregnant women beware. The service was very good though, the staff were run off their feet but friendly and accommodating. Pity the food didn't match read more

Food is decent but service is very patchy. Needed to ask for water three times before it was finally brought over after being seated for 30 minutes and they weren't even busy. A miss. read more

The service is terrible! Took an hour even to get a bottle of wine before dinner. Only waitress who did not even get our order correct! The first time we went when they first opened the tapas food was good. WE went again last night and the food was terrible! Too many other nice restaurants to ever try going there again! read more
