Havana – Spanish
Havana pulses with a vibrant, tropical energy, where the air is thick with the enticing aromas of slow-simmered ropa vieja and sweet, caramelized plantains. The kitchen artfully blurs the lines between island tradition and modern comfort, serving up soulful plates like golden Dungeness crab croquette benedicts and plantain-crusted French toast that capture the sun-drenched spirit of the Caribbean. It is a lively retreat where bold flavors and rhythmic charm come together, inviting guests to linger over spicy yucca chips and inventive brunch classics.
