The Hampton Social was mid…read more It was my first time dining here. This visit happened while attending a conference in the area. My colleagues and I found this spot online/Yelp and decided to give it a try. We arrived around 5:30ish for an early dinner after the sessions ended. We had a party of 5 and were seated fairly quickly upon arrival. Once seated our server and server-in-training came over to introduce themselves, provide water, and deliver menus. They shared some of their favorites and "popular" dishes. Keep in mind the favorites were described as really good and spicy and upon tasting them they were in fact the opposite. I'm coming back to that - stay with me. I ordered the shrimp tacos and honey they were NOT delicious. Mind you? Our waitress was raving about them. Even if the tacos are the "most ordered dish" they are not good, lmao...hard pass! Two others at my table ordered the tacos as well and were like, so where's the spice??? Not thanks. One of my colleagues ordered appetizers for the table - Dynamite Shrimp and Honey Glazed Brussels Sprouts which were both delicious and flavorful. Thankfully, we had the appetizers, otherwise it would have been a waste of time and funds. I rarely waste food but after eating the first taco I was like naw. The vibe is very Florida like, beachy vibes. Personally, will not return.

My husband had the French toast and really enjoyed it, and my poached eggs were cooked to perfection! We went on a Thursday morning. It wasn't crowded. For the weekends when it's busy, you can add your name on the google waitlist before getting here so you didn't have to wait as long. Parking is easy. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend this place.

And was just friendly all together. It being our first time there it was just a really good time there. The place also looked very clean and tidy. The bad: The food was just ok. What I had was the fajita omelette. Needed salt and pepper and the salsa did the heavy lifting on the flavor of the omelette. My wife had the breakfast wrap and she even mentioned that she needed to add salt to it. The kids seemed to like their meal. So it wasn't a complete miss. But wish the food was hitting better for the experience to be a lot better.

We split 2 of the set appetizer menu. Came with 9 items in each set. The black bean hummus was delicious! I ordered a starry night cocktail, which was also good!

Overall, I really enjoyed our meal here…read more Just a heads up this place is loud so this is not the restaurant you want to have an intimate conversation. However, it is quite fun, when we got there on a Saturday night, they were having a Taylor Swift look alike performance. I absolutely loved it. It turned out it was happening every hour so we were able to watch her perform twice. They also had someone selling jewelry and an artist painting, overall it is such a fun vibe. If you want a standard table, you need to make a reservation, I made a reservation like 15 minutes before and they only had outdoor seating and high tops available. We chose a high top and it was fine. They do have a kids menu so my son was able to order a cheese pizza with a side of fries and the other one ordered a chicken quesadilla with a side of fruit. On the kids menu it says cheese quesadilla but he really wanted chicken, I was surprised the chicken was a bit spicy. He ate a couple bites and then asked for his own cheese pizza after seeing his brothers. All the plates are meant to be shared so they come out whenever they're ready. My older son's cheese pizza came out immediately and then my younger son's chicken quesadilla came out after all our food had been delivered. I think this is what made him want a cheese pizza because he didn't have his own meal for majority of the time we were eating. When we finally ordered his cheese pizza it then took a long time to come out. I'm guessing it's because it's woodfired and his pizza was behind a ton of other pizzas whereas with my older son we must've ordered at a good time. My absolute favorite dish was the marinated cucumbers. It was a light and delicious. It reminds me of what I find at a Japanese restaurant. I also got the butter chicken, it was OK. I didn't find the chicken super tender so I would skip it next time. We also got the maple glazed chicken wings. I found the breading to be overly salty. I ended up taking off all of the breading and my younger son ate a ton of the chicken. I would skip it next time. We got the steak skewers, which were pretty delicious. Again didn't love it so probably would get something else next time. My husband did not like his ribs so he definitely should skip that next time. So overall, the food was OK, but my kids absolutely destroyed their pizza and I love the atmosphere, which is why I'm giving this place four stars. I see that it has great potential. If parking is a problem, I recommend parking at icon park and walking because it's about five minutes away. Our server was super nice, she was a bit slow, but she also had a giant table next to us, which could've contributed to that. I would definitely come back. I enjoyed our experience here.

FABULOUS Went here…read morelast night with work colleagues for dinner. Can't say enough about the experience. The food was fantastic (our table shared both the Crab Guacomole and the Cha Cha Cha - both yummy; I had the Vaca Frita which was succulent which with the rice and beans were just divine). The drinks were great too, as our table shared passionfruit mojitos. Ambiance was perfect - our corner table was the perfect place for us to catch up and have our own space in this vivrant restaurant. Our server Jason was super cool and accomidating, making sure we were good without imposing, and was able to roll with our rowdy group. For those looking for good Cuban food in a nice space, look no further than Cuba Libre.

Lively atmosphere, tasty food and drinks, and attentive service!…read more My fiancé's family and I went to Cuba Libre while checking out the downtown area of Orlando. I was immediately drawn in by the music and the LED lights. We started off with a round of sangria, which is always a great way to kick off. We also got a basket of bread and mango butter, which was both unique and really good. The table shared a Plato Cha Cha Cha. I couldn't tell what was what, but I remember the croquetas being super delicious! Definitely worth it on a hungry stomach. I ordered the Ropa Vieja for my entree. It was very good (especially the plantains/maduros), but I was already very full and probably should have ordered something lighter in hindsight. The highlight of the night was definitely dessert. It was my aunt's birthday, and they greeted her with a huge bowl of ice cream and a show. I won't spoil it, but if you have a birthday, Cuba Libre will definitely make you feel celebrated. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in Orlando who would like to try out Cuban food.

We went on Monday night so it was pretty quiet and not busy but I can see it getting very busy on the weekends. Almost everything we ate and drank was delicious. Pricing on the menu is kind of all over the place. Entrees looked expensive but we all got appetizers and small plates and the prices weren't bad at all. Cocktails were all beautifully presented and tasted great too! If you're an espresso martini fiend like me, they have 5 different flavors to choose from here which I really appreciated. I think the salted caramel was definitely the tastiest. Service was very good, I wish I knew the young man's name that helped us out. He was attentive and friendly. At one point drinks took a little long but besides that everything came out relatively fast! It's definitely a fun atmosphere for friends to go out together

The music wasn't too loud, which made it easy to actually have a conversation, something I really appreciated. We came to celebrate a birthday, and the service stood out. Our server was friendly and thoughtful, even bringing out a small dessert so we could sing happy birthday. For drinks, I had the watermelon mocktail and I enjoyed it. I stuck to small plates to share. The cauliflower was surprisingly good, probably my favorite. The Brussels sprouts also had great flavor. The meatballs were just okay; they lacked seasoning, and the sourdough they came with was over-toasted to the point of being very hard. The garlic fried rice was the biggest miss for me, it didn't have much flavor. Overall, it's a great spot if you're going for the atmosphere, drinks, and small bites with friends. They also validate parking.
