I had passed The Cuban several times and was intrigued by its interesting exterior, with its vintage cars out front. We finally had an opportunity to stop in for lunch.
There are two handicapped parking spaces (not van-accessible) in the paved parking lot, directly across from the entrance. Brick lines the walkway in front of the street level, canvas entryway. Next come two sets of double doors to the hostess area.
A very pleasant gentleman led us up a slight ramp to the main dining area. We walked through this area and up three steps to a lovely windowed area where we were seated. Flat carpet and well spaced tables made navigation easy. The full height bar area doesn’t require ramp or steps. There is another large dining area to the left of the entrance which can be used for private parties.
We noticed a small stage and signs advertising live entertainment on Friday and Saturday evenings.
The tables all had tablecloths, a very nice touch at lunch. I have not been to Cuba, but I thought that the combination of music and décor suggested what being there might feel like.
Our server was delightful as well as helpful with our questions about the menu. When our entrees arrived we were quite happy with our choices.
Small, handicapped-accessible restrooms are located behind the hostess area.
I have no idea of how crowded “The Cuban” is for dinner and/or entertainment, but it was a great place for a leisurely lunch that makes you feel that you are far away from the hustle, bustle of Nassau County.
As always,we at Destination Accessible advise you to check a venue’s website, http://www.cubanny.com, when planning a visit, to “know before you go.”
