Atmosphere: Cuba de Ayer has a very nice welcoming atmosphere, especially now that they have expanded adding more space for patrons also adding a full bar. In the evening time it  is actually a pretty intimate type setting with low lights and Cuban music playing in the background. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for some good Cuban food!

Staff: The staff is very nice, and help to make sure you have a good experience they are tentative and are lots of knowledge on the menu.If you have trouble choosing what to eat they are very good at giving recommendations.

The Food: The food is bursting with flavors and very enjoyable! Make sure to bring your appetite, they serve some pretty healthy sized portions that are very filling. The entrees consist of beef,chicken,pork, and seafood served with rice a choice of beans and plantains; which they add their Cuban flare to that will wake your taste buds up! Be sure to try the Tostones Rellenos which are fried green plantains stuffed with either ground beef or shredded beef and the Empanadas which are turnovers filled with either beef,chicken, or cheese. They are all made from scratch and will have you coming back for more! If you like drinks they also make very good mojito's made with fresh mint leaves and to add a spin they give you flavor choices like pineapple and mango. Their mojitio martini is very refreshing with a bite, it goes well with a meal or just by itself to sip on while having a good conversation. If room is left over after enjoying your meal, try their Treche Leche cake which is a moist sponge cake soaked in three different kinds of milk that gives the cake a rich sweet flavor. This cake is amazing and if you have a sweet tooth it will knock it right out, and its still pretty light on your stomach. 

Recap: Cuban de Ayer is a lively, friendly, welcoming restaurant that's suitable for families,couples, or a date night if your interested in trying something different from your typical chain restaurant. Their food is decently priced, delicious and bursting with flavors that will have you planning your next trip back!
