    Thankfully we got a wonderful waiter who was very attentive and responsive. Management team was also great with checking in on us etc... The food last night was just ok however. I frequent the Water Grill in this location and various locations and the steak tasted a bit dry but overall the dining experience was very good and we enjoyed it.

    Habana offers a delightful culinary journey through the flavors of Cuba. The filet and lobster tail dish I savored was nothing short of exceptional. The succulent filet, perfectly cooked to my liking, paired harmoniously with the tender lobster tail, creating a symphony of flavors that danced on my palate. The ambiance exuded warmth and authenticity, transporting me to the vibrant streets of Havana. From the first bite to the last, every morsel was a testament to the chef's dedication to excellence. Without a doubt, Habana is a must-visit destination for anyone craving an unforgettable Cuban dining experience.

    Always a great experiance. Steaks perfectly cooked and served on a hot plate. Sides delicious and great drinks. We take our daughter with us who also enjoys the steak, fries, crab cakes and pretzel bread. We love to sit at a booth in the bar area to enjoy the live music. It’s pricey but worth it on a special occasion.

Discover Orange County

Located in the sunny state of California, Orange County is known for its many tourist attractions. Considering that Orange County consists of 34 cities and is more populous than 21 U.S. states, you can bet the attractions include not only the best surfing beaches, the Balboa ferry, and sites like Knott’s Berry Farm and Disneyland but also a huge selection of restaurants. The warm climate enhances the growth of fresh, organic vegetables and fruits, which can be found in many restaurants. Although iconic California foods like Rocky Road ice cream and sourdough bread may have originated in other CA cities, they’re also popular in Orange County. Fast food places, drive-ins, and Korean barbecues are popular in this area, too. Smoothies in the summer, however, take the cake.
