The Cuban Place - Sydney

The Cuban on York is a fun, vibrant and welcome escape from the CBD streets.

We attended this restaurant last minute as we were seeing a show at the state theatre.

On a Friday evening, I visited this restaurant early with two friends. We ordered drinks and some snacks (cassava chips and brioche rolls) and sat in the bar area. After waiting for 30 minutes, our food had not arrived, even though the restaurant was not very busy. We noticed other customers who arrived after us receiving the same order promptly. When we asked our waitress about our food, she was dismissive and did not follow up. We then asked another waiter to check on our order. He assured us that it was on its way, but we were left wondering where it was. Finally, almost an hour and a half after placing our order, our food arrived without any apology.

This place is a pretty big space that would cater for large groups well. They have a $59 set menu which looks good. But there was just two of us and we tried a mixture of the tacos, the beans with rice
