Very delicious food (except the steak.. it was very dry) and attentive service. Cute decor. I did not appreciate them adding 20% tip on our bill automatically. We only had 4 people. Like we always tip 18-20% for dinner, but it is the customers’ choice of how much they would like to tip.

Yesterday we went to Favela Cubana for dinner. Their pineapple caipirinha is fantastic! We tried the empanada cabana and the bolinho de feijão, also great. But the best thing was the squid ink seafood rice. OMG!! So delicious!! If you don't eat as much as myself, you can share the plate and get some sides, because there is plenty for two people. The staff was very nice and I also loved the ambiance. Great experience!

Popped in for just drinks on a Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks ago. We realized it was happy hour. So decided to stay a little longer. Two hours and a few drinks later we ordered some food. The atmosphere was really nice, the staff were excellent and helped us through the menu. The food was very nice. Thanks!!!

Stopped by for a quick dinner before an event. The service was good. I ordered the ropa vieja which comes with plantain chips (a lil disappointing it doesn’t come with a side) but I ordered a side of rice. It was really good!! I also love their bar stools that are conga drums, it’s a nice touch!

One of my favorite restaurants in NYC!!! This is a must visit of you're in the area. The oysters are fresh, the yucca fries on point and they make one of the best caprininhas EVER!! I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH how good this restaurant is and I'm picky when it comes to leaving great reviews!! This is not my 1st time visiting either and they have been on point ever single time!! 5 plus stars!!!

My husband and I popped in here early one Friday and it was delicious. Great vibe. Love the drum bar stools! The staff was attentive and kind. Ordered 5 snacks and enjoyed them all.

The food here is wonderful. I recommend the frango asado (roast chicken) and squid ink seafood rice dish - good portions and delicious. Although the chicken dish is only chicken so be prepared to order sides! The drinks were strong too which is much appreciated. The decor inside is also beautiful and the service was wonderful.
The overall experience here was great but it was expensive especially the drinks.

Nice atmosphere, nice staff, pricing was eh for what you get but would come back for drinks. Food was tasty but a bit overpriced for me

Very nice restaurant. Service was good. It was a quiet Sunday dinner, restaurant wasn't so crowded. They checked vaccinated and we settled into the banquette seating along the wall. Food was excellent. Tried an appetizer plus shared the squid ink seafood rice. Surprised that the seafood was fried so it was different than other seafood paella. Added a good crispiness crunch to the dish. We enjoyed our visit and like to come back to try other dishes next time.

We came here for brunch on a Saturday with a huge group of 10 people and it was a pretty great experience.
As for bottomless brunch, the waitress and staff were amazing. They were super fast at bringing out a new round of drinks. I honestly was a little worried at first if we would be able to get more than a few drinks but some of our friends were able to get 8 drinks by the end of our time limit. Speaking of time limit, I do appreciate that they write your start and end time on a card that is placed on your table. It makes it much easier to know exactly how much time you have left.
The food was okay, I wish the English muffin for my eggs Benedict wasn't so soggy. But the taste was good. Overall I'd recommend this place for bottomless brunch, there's a good variety of drinks to choose from and service is very attentive.
