A haven for yuppies with good food

by garypai , May 10 '00
Pros: Intriguing food, great Latin music, very trendy, fun environment
Cons: Shoddy service, pretentious atmosphere
For one night in my life, I felt like I was one of the "beautiful people." Asia de Cuba, located on Madison Ave. between 37th and 38th St., catered to every type of indulgence I enjoy as a New York City yuppie - dressing in my chicest clothes,...

Asia de Cuba – Better for Groups than for Couples

by matochak , Dec 01 '00
Pros: Fabulous food!!!
Cons: Tiny bathrooms!!!
This is a very detailed review (in a chatty, diary-entry style) about all aspects of the restaurant and its offerings. However, I think it’s critical to first know what size group you should take. I don’t want to mislead you, the food is...

A Little 'Tude with Your Food

by Trinity31 , Feb 13 '01
Pros: Food is creatively presented, waitstaff is appropriately obsequious
Cons: Too much 'tude, especially when the food is good but not great
Miz Trin has a brother who lives in Manhattan who is even more of an Intergalactic Space Diva than she is. This has numerous benefits, not the least of which is a free place to stay in New York, and a ready-to-go dinner companion who knows the "in"...

Was that a model or a really really good drag queen?

by kboo Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Feb 04 '00
Pros: modern, designer room; active, buzzing "scene"
Cons: I'm not into "scene"; not vegetarian-friendly; service lends new meaning to the term "family style"
(COMPLETELY REWRITTEN 8-25-00/UPDATED 6-4-01)

It has become slightly easier to get a reservation at Asia de Cuba now that it is no longer Leo's favorite place. It's still trendy and hopping, however, and reservations are a must....

You've probably walked past it a dozen times...

by Angellcatt , Jul 25 '01
Pros: Phenomenal food, intriguing decor, Mojitos.
Cons: Trendier-than-Thou, cramped, miniscule bathrooms.
The Madison Avenue, midtown entrance to this NYC hot spot is so mundane you could walk right past it and not even know that it was there. This is a dramatic contrast to the hip Philip Stark interior design and happening, trendy bar scene.

If you like new things you won't be disappointed.

by eapwdc , Sep 28 '00
Pros: Everything was wonderful!
Cons: Not for those who don't like to try new things.
Asia de Cuba is one of those restaurants that you will either love or hate. I loved it. I thought the food was delicious, the setting was appealing, and the atmosphere was a positive addition to the experience. I am sure that not everyone will agree...

Had a Great Night!

by njmom3 , Mar 02 '03
Pros: Great food, fun place to people watch
Cons: bathroom - what were they thinking???
I read all the reviews and was a little unsure whether or not to keep my reservation. It was my husbands birthday and I had planned a romantic trip for two into NYC. We arrived and were seated promptly in a great table upstairs right by the overlook and...

Asia de Cuba is still hot

by jpinnyc , Oct 09 '02
Pros: Chic, still hot as ever, food is delicious
Cons: Loud, lots of attitude, impossible to get in to without a reservation, expensive
Asia de Cuba is a hot spot, still. The true mark of a great restaurant (in New York anyway) is staying power. Here it is several years later since Asia de Cuba burst onto the food scene STILL kicking it up on Madison Avenue. Something has to be said...

Don't bother

by lagirrl , Jul 06 '02
Pros: Nice lobby and waiting area. Nothing to talk positve about.
Cons: Where do I start? Not very good!!!
I had to try this place due to the fact it was a friends birthday party (by the way, she made us pay!)and to be a good friend I read the reviews on this site thinking it would be bad for me. RIGHT!
Only one chicken meal to pick, prices were a little...

Well cooked but poorly managed

by jedfree , Jul 23 '01
Pros: Airy post-modern room. Fresh ingredients that are well prepared.
Cons: Scene is going downhill while the attitude remains constant. Food is often mismatched.
Although all of the ingredients are fresh and well prepared in Asia de Cuba, they are often mismatched and paired with sauces that do not highlight their essences. The diner has to work to have a good meal here, not only because the reservation and...
