    Absolutely gorgeous. The hospitality here feels truly upscale from the moment you walk in. This is the kind of place you save for a romantic date night or a special occasion--dress up, sip a couple of ridiculously good (and equally ridiculously priced ) $25 cocktails, listen to live jazz, and enjoy the atmosphere. There are two dining rooms, and if you can, try to reserve the room on the right. The artwork actually moves throughout the evening, creating a really magical experience. That said, the dining room on the left is beautifully decorated too, so you really can't go wrong. The live music was incredible, and the volume was perfect--you could still have a normal conversation without shouting across the table. As the evening went on, glittering dancers and a saxophone player weaved through the dining room, taking the entire experience to another level. Our waiter was warm, friendly, and accommodating. He happily took care of every request, even if one came with a humorous, "We don't normally do that," when someone asked for their steak to be sliced. As for the food... everything we ordered was delicious. The tuna, steak, goat cheese balls, fettuccine, and empanadas were all excellent. The only dish that didn't quite hit the mark for me was the tomato basil empanada, but that's a minor note in an otherwise fantastic meal. The only real downside? The bill. It was genuinely shocking when it arrived. You definitely pay for the experience here, so I wouldn't consider it a casual night out. But if you're celebrating something special and want an evening that feels elegant, entertaining, and memorable, it's absolutely worth it.

    This was my second time visiting and it won't be the last. Food and drinks were great; service was even better! Our server Joshua truly made our night special. The restaurant's furniture is beautiful and really brings the experience together. I recommend asking for recommendations from your server.

    Happy Hour Shrimp Jalea

    Corazon just might become my new happy hour spot. The hot and cold appetizers and artisanal cocktails are half off, which is really generous for being such a fancy place. For drinks I had a Blind Date: Bacardi Añejo rum infused in cacao nibs \ orgeat syrup \ pineapple juice \ tiki bitters. It was really good. My friend had the Spicy Little Secret: Don Julio Blanco tequila \ jalapeño & dragonfruit syrup \ Cointreau \ fresh lime juice. She liked it, but preferred mine, so she had one of those for her second drink. We shared the Calamari Kung Pao and Shrimp Jalea. Both were fabulous! The calamari was cooked perfectly so it wasn't chewy. The shrimp had an amazing sauce that had just the right amount of spice to it. The staff were friendly, and the complimentary valet parking was much appreciated. I'll definitely be back to try more happy hour offerings.

    Chicken Lena and Cuba libre short rib

    First off the atmosphere is wonderful!!! It's so beautiful in there and you have to take an elevator to go up to the dining area. The lighting and furniture are beautiful and the centerpiece is the bar which looks amazing. I'm pretty sure the dining area over looks mangoes too. The cocktails were really tasty, each $23. For our appetizers we got the beef empanadas. They were really crispy and the beef tasted great however there were too many onions that overpowered the beef. For the entrees, I got the chicken Lena and my girlfriend got the Cuba libre short rib. The chicken was beautifully seasoned and hefty portion. It came with a small portion of potatoes which were good, and the white Alabama bbq sauce was a nice tangy flavor. My girlfriend said the short rib fell off the bone and tasted wonderful. The ribs also came with mash potatoes that were very fluffy. The service was nice and polite as well. They were attentive and even packaged our food for us.

    I think this is a great restaurant for any special occasion. I came here for my anniversary and they had a flower waiting at our table with a nice card. It's small touches like this from restaurants that truly matter! The food was amazing and very fairly priced for how extravagant the restaurant is. The mango lychee martini was so delicious too -- such an interesting twist on a classic cocktail! The only con was the server who waited on us. We wouldn't see him for 15-20 min intervals. We'd be ready to order more food or drinks and he was nowhere to be found. Automatic 20% tip was included so that's probably why the wait staff isn't too concern about providing the best of service.

    This place is an absolute vibe! I came here to celebrate a birthday and making reservations were easy. As we walked in, Bobbi greeted us with a smile and was helpful to show us our table which was this cozy booth in the back corner surrounded by velvet drapery and Moroccan inspired glass lamps (confused me too). She allowed us to head to the bar for a round cocktails while we waited for the rest of our party to arrive. Drinks are a little pricey and 20% gratuity is already included so be vigilant of that! When we sat down, Daniel our server was absolutely wonderful. He gave us a tour of the menu which was exceptional. We ordered the goat cheese appetizer and empanadas - both, fantastic. They serve dinner rolls which is accompanied by a delicious butter spread. We ordered the ribeye, ordered medium rare, but it felt a little on the rare side. Wasn't easy to eat, so may not have been the best quality meat, but it was fine. The birthday boy had the short rib which he described as Devine! The table side Alfredo presentation was quite exciting as well! My only negative comment was that they didn't really have a birthday experience. They delivered a glass of champagne and had a happy birthday card, but nothing compared to what you can experience at other I-Drive establishments. I would dine here again because the experience was lovely and I would like to try the fish next time!

    I had dinner here with a colleague and we loved the food, service, and ambiance. We shared the octopus, which was tender and flavorful. I ordered the Seabass risotto as my entree and my colleague had the skirt steak. We had a taste of each other's entree and agreed both were excellent. He also ordered some mashed potatoes. We shared the Guilty Pleasure for dessert (cream puffs, ice cream, red berries, hot chocolate drizzle). It was a beautiful and sinful dessert--so delicious! I didn't want to eat too much dessert but it was so amazing that I couldn't stop. I had a Forbidden Dream as my cocktail. The ingredients included Malibu Coconut, Bacardi Añejo, simple syrup, fresh lime juice, tiki bitters, and pineapple juice. I was really impressed with how dreamy it tasted. We didn't know this, but the restaurant turned into a Latin night club after hours. We had meetings the following morning so we didn't take advantage of the free entrance to the club for diners. Maybe next time... All and all, we were very pleased with our dining experience.

    Pork belly and short rib
    Dale D.

    Corazon markets as an upscale, elevated experience but fails to deliver in the details. The menu reads like a unique fusion restaurant, but tastes like mass quantity production. Portions are ginormous. Grilled Caesar salad (1/5) - tasted like salad in a bag from grocery store. Beans did not belong. Dressing was over powering. Octopus (3.5/5) - mole sauce was smoky and delicious! Octopus itself was rubbery and dry. Tasted previously frozen. Hamachi crudo (3/5) - fish was fresh! Leche de tigre was not freshly made. Instead of fresh squeezed lime, it tasted like lime juice from one of those plastic green lime shaped bottles at grocery store. Short rib (4/5) - solid short rib but nothing unique Smoked pork belly (2/5) - Pork belly tasted like box from Trader Joe's. Skin was tough. Why they market as yakiniku?? It was just a teriyaki sauce. Cornbread was from a box and soaked in sugar. Cocktails overly sweet. Also tasted premixed. Glasses looked dull and needed a second wash. Ambiance: our reservation was at 6:45pm on MDW. It was completely empty. It felt like being the first ones at a club because you didn't want to pay cover. Table decor was noticeably cheap (plastic dollar tree flowers, plastic decorations, etc) Bathroom was disgusting. Felt like a gas station. No paper towels??? I had to use a Dyson air dryer to dry my hands. After paying for a $400 meal, can I at least get a paper towel to dry my hands? Overall, feels like a club and tastes like a club. Not upscale restaurant. Everything looked a little better after a couple drinks. Without drinks, this place fails to deliver in food and ambiance.

    Dinner at the Kali Dining Room inside of Corazon by Baires was amazing! Literally no complaints! Kali offers the same full menu as Corazon. The place is beautiful and the food was bomb! Our server was attentive and recommended amazing menu items and drinks. The live music and dancers were a plus. I will most def be back to try more of their menu items!

    First of all this spot is gorgeous! When you walk in it feels luxurious. Also who is back there making crafts cocktails. They were soooo good and very strong. Now the cocktails were about $27 apiece but they were yummy. We ordered food and it came out fast and delish! Then they are connected to Mangoes and they are a whole vibe downstairs. Talk about 2 for 1. The DJ was awesome. I will definitely be back.

    Short rib
    Elle E.

    Decor is amazing. Food was delicious. Bathrooms are questionable. The"service fee" is shady. So, if you've seen pictures then you know the decor and ambiance is gorgeous. We had live singers and sax players... Truly magical. The FOOD was delicious. I had the short rib which I literally ate with a spoon because it was so tender and delicious. The price is high though. More expensive than Eddie Vs or Ruth. Still the food was good enough that I'd pay for that short rib again and again. My friends got the steak, lamb chops, salmon croquettes, goat cheese balls and calamari... They were all yummy! Some being better than other. The bathroom was disgusting. While there was a bathroom attendant, she didn't look up from her phone once. Several of the toilets were stopped up or straight up nasty. Unexpected for such a nice place and real killed the vibe. For groups that add a "service fee" which is really the group gratuity but they can it service fee so that you tip even more. We always tip above the mandatory group tip fee but it felt super shady how they did it..

    I was in town for the food and wine festival at Epcot and my friends and I went out to eat the night before. The property we were staying recommended this place. It was perfect for us. The restaurant has photo ops everywhere and beautifully decorated. I sat at the bar waiting on my friends. Although the drinks were pricey, they were unique in flavor and good. Once my friends arrived we were seated and proceeded to order the whole menu. lol. We started off with the Caesar salad which was soooo good. I had the short ribs and asparagus. They were well seasoned and very filling. Our waiter did an excellent job waiting our table. I would love to give a special thank you to the hostesses working that night. My friends were late because the uber driver did not speak English and there was a break down in communication. He could not figure how to find my fiends on the resort property. One of the hostess graciously took my phone and gave the uber driver directions through speaker phone. She was a life saver and my friends finally made it.

    Pork belly

    Very lively place! Latin/asian mix fusion food... it was a cool concept but very different but cool. Service was fast and food was okay. My friends' husband saw the place on TikTok and wanted to take her here for her birthday. It was overall a fun vibe with friends.

    I recently went to Orlando for a conference, and while we spent the majority of our time in a large…read moreresort and convention center, the leadership of the organization hosting the conference hosted a special dinner in one of the reservable ballrooms at the Cuba Libre Restaurant. 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. Orlando hosts one of several of this restaurant around the United States. This restaurant is in the midst of the Pointe Orlando. You can find details on their website: https://cubalibrerestaurant.com/en/orlando. You can find menus, entertainment, blogs, make reservations, specials, and more. The Cuba Libre Restaurant is open for brunch on weekends from 12 PM to 4 PM, for dinner Monday through Thursday from 5 PM to 10 PM, Friday from 5 PM to 10:30 PM, Saturday from 4 PM to 10:30 PM, and Sunday from 4 PM to 10 PM. Happy Hour is at the bar and bar tables on weekdays from 5 PM to 6 PM and weekends from 4 PM to 6 PM. They have a special Chef's Tasting menu during dinner. They also host weekend nightlife and shows on Fridays with a live band from 7:30 PM to 12:15 AM and a DJ and dancing from 10 PM to 2 AM on both Fridays and Saturdays. It was certainly a great event and a fun place to be!

I was visiting Orlando and I have a lot of friends and family here. My niece took us here for lunch with high praises of the place. I was excited since I haven't eaten good Dominican outside of the few dishes I've learned how to make over the years. We arrived and immediately began to order. There were a lot of us so I will only review what I ate. I ordered a small sancocho to start. It was ok, but was seriously devoid of seasoning. From the start you could tell they were playing it safe with the flavors. Trying to appease as many tongues as they could. I hadn't had sancocho in a very long time, so I was seriously disappointed. For my main course I ordered the monfongo with pernil. Where the sancocho lacked flavor the monfongo and pernil over reached. It was crazy salty. Like way too salty. I could only get through a few spoonfuls before I called it quits. I then turned to some of my wife's rice and beans and was right back to flavorless. About the only thing that tasted even was the chicharon de pollo. But even that was lack luster. It's always hard to find a good Dominican food restaurant. I will keep searching but till then I guess I will just continue to hone my skills at cooking it at home. The atmosphere itself was good. Sort of a mid-stage afternoon spot. Nice, clean, nothing too trendy or new. Just an average spot. If you have never had Dominican food this may be the spot for you. Something safe so you aren't over whelmed by flavors. If you grew up on it like me, I feel you will be disappointed.

When I politely requested an additional two-seat table so everyone could be seated comfortably, the manager's response was simply that we could "take it or leave it."

The empanada came LOADED with shredded beef and this empanada didn't skimp out on quality. It tastes so good when you dip it with the green sauce and it was chef's kiss. I think this is the best empanada I ever had and when I tried other empanada, it doesn't even compare to this. I ordered another dish but I forgot the name and it's soo good. I was a little disappointed because the menu said pick 3 sides and I chose all beef. Alfredo didn't mention to me that there would be an additional charge for the beef. As a result, I had to pay an additional $10 which was very pricey and didn't find out until I received my bill and saw the charge. I didn't make any complaints because the employees seem not to speak English well and it's hard to be a foreigner trying to adapt to the culture and the language.

They also have lunch specials, which is nice. Cons- There is ALWAYS a weird perm smell when you go. It literally smells like someone is perming their hair, so not good. Another con is sometimes it takes long to get your food. And last but not least, I think their prices are not reasonable lately. Some of the prices do not match their menu, not sure when they raised their prices but I have never ever heard of a patacon costing almost $26 anywhere, and I frequent a lot of Venezuelan spots. Their name went from Q'Kenan restaurant to Q'Kenan Steakhouse so maybe now they just raised all the prices, I don't know. Their most expensive patacon on the menu is the one with Picańha and it says $17...yet I got charged 25.90. Regardless of how good something is, there shouldn't be a $9 difference from what is on the menu. That is absurd. On my last trip- $43 for an empanada, tequeńos and a patacon just doesn't sound right for Venezuelan food, and I come from living in Miami where restaurants are supposed to be more expensive. Add a tip and you're paying over $50 for street food. That's wild.
