Habana-irvine Spectrum

Havana is a beautiful restaurant. The service is top notch, we were greeted with champagne. The food is good but very highly priced. I think you are paying more for the atmosphere and service than the food itself. I think it’s a great special occasion restaurant but not someplace I would go to on a frequent basis.

My first visit was for lunch and it was super busy. I tried the Kobe Burger which was tasty...with chipotle, manchego, cheddar, butter lettuce, tomato, onion, horseradish mayo, tomatillo salsa on a brioche bun, and served with Caribbean fries with garlic and aioli...everything was fresh. Had the Cafe Con Leche too and it was delicious as well. Prompt service and festive atmosphere.

the place is so gorgeous, the vibes were soo nice. there's different areas to sit and they're all beautiful too. we sat at the bar area. the service was so cool, there's free champagne at the entrance. food was good (the gambas were amazing!). the sauce on my el churrasco however wasn't really my thing to be honest. i did love the corn though.

Incredibly delicious food and beautiful atmosphere! Definitely put this one on your list of places to eat at! I ordered the Rum Pepper Shrimp dish with sweet plantains and mashed purple potatoes for sides and my husband ordered the medianoche (aka Cubano sandwich). I also ordered a piña colada without alcohol. The rum pepper shrimp dish was a perfect combination of flavors with a creamy orange sauce, perfectly cooked rice for the style of dish, chunks of mango and other vegetables, along with some type of string shaved squash on top. This dish is seriously one to remember! My husband said the medianoche was perfect, except he wished they used a more upscale yellow mustard since the other ingredients were so high-end. He even finished all the fries because he said they were so delicious - the perfect size and balance of crunch with softness, a great flavor and also great with the spicy dipping sauce. The sweet plantains were exactly how they should be - caramelized on the outside with a warm squishy inside. The purple mashed potatoes tasted just like regular mashed potatoes. They were good, but not elevated like the entrees. The atmosphere was relaxing and beautiful. As we walked in, we were offered complementary champagne rose, which was a nice touch. We sat in a comfortable booth outside since the weather was nice. I only gave 4 stars on the atmosphere because the sun was eventually cooking us in our booth. They eventually pulled the shade down, but it was only right before we left. Wonderful food here - definitely worth a visit!!

Rey the manager was very welcoming. The minute we walked in the restaurant, Rey was there to greet us. Our server Ruby was also accommodating and offered us complimentary glasses of rose. The facility was clean. The atmosphere was pleasant. The food was exceptional! We ordered calamari and chopped salad for appetizers. For entrees we opted for popular dishes such as seared ahi tuna and seafood paella. We topped off with delicious banana flambé with table side presentation. My wife loved the fire show! The Google reviews did not disappoint. Thanks Rey and Ruby for the extraordinary service!

WOW! You know it’s good when i’m leaving a whole noble as a review. I am extremely happy with the service that my family and I have received at our visit to Habana Irvine spectrum. It was my first time visiting. This restaurant has exceeded my expectations. The food was amazing. Our waiter, Carlos was incredible. I definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a good environment, delicious food and outstanding customer service. Everyone is very attentive to detail this is not overlooked, fantastic job! I can’t wait to go back and tell all my friends about it. Gracias Carlos eres una ESTRELLA ⭐️ Salud!
