Sally DuFore

I made a stupid mistake and read some of the reviews before going ALL THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS WERE WRONG!!!I everything we ordered was Wonderful cerdo frito paella churrasco chicken n rice FABULOUS !!!!

Ivette Maldonado

This is one of the hottest supper clubs I've been to in a very long time. It's a little pricey and gratuity is included, but overall, the service is amazing and the music is diversified.

What's Good Here

This was delicious. Puerquito - crisp bacon , hollandaise and poached eggs , pulled pork , and chorizo over corn bread .

What's Good Here

Try the Levante Muertos (Seafood soup with mussels , shrimp , and bay scallops , with a hint of coconut ) for brunch .

Robert Alonso

Son Cubano serves excellent food. Lunch on a sunny weekend day is a great way to enjoy a great meal with a spectacular view of Manhattan .

What's Good Here

Get the Ropa Vieja for brunch - twice cooked shredded flank steak in a Cuban Creole sauce

Paola Montelongo

They change up the menu every season. a year ago I had the Paradise salad which was papaya salted mangos in mixed green salads with a lime-pineapple vinnaigrette. #AMAZING

Mutton Jim

A Bergenline meets South Beach crowd swamps this swanky spot occupying prime river real estate. Service is a little spotty, but the pernil was killer.

Kenji Cordova

Altagracia Pena

Henry Ramirez

Service: very slow, food: regular, very expensive for what it is, great view of manhattan . Only dish worth recommending the croquetas de chiva (goat cheese croquettes )

Joy Bauer

Paloma Ortiz

The food is great and the drinks are very good! The service is excellent

Paula Buzzo

We ordered empanadas mixtas to start, prime skirt steak , and my husband ordered paella . The steak came with arrow moro, which was cold, and the paella was nothing special.

Beautiful view of NYC. Amazing drinks. Nice outdoor space !

Inna G

overpriced, really small portioned. The ceviche was bland, lobster/shrimp tacos were tiny. Beef rib was small portioned. The mushrooms/spinach side, plantain was good. Nice dressy vibe. Good music .

Everything is good. Never had a bad dish.

John Hornacek

Service was good. Pernil was off the meat rack!!! Paul, the manager, is a tool. Please, don't ever ask him to play the music you like, because he'll change it. And his pants are tight ...

Mirdy Garcia

I just loved it! The service, the food quality excellent!

Astryd Rosa

The guava butter here keeps me coming back for more!

Lazy Travelers

Delicious Food, Horrible Service!

John Kao

Food is ok but service is lacking big time. Even got overcharged and the Manager was no help. The only nice part is the view when sitting outside.

Brandon Hernández

The Dj's are awesome on Saturdays!

Ivonne Cruz

Great location, expensive and great service.

Becky Narine

Lauren 

The numerous bad reviews on Yelp made me nervous, but I'm a fan! The views and decor are gorgeous!

Auric

Awesome view of NYC skyline . Included with your bill.

Tess Amiel Medina Rapozo

Best dinner ,best music , greaaat service !!!

Adam Atiqullah

Overpriced. Decent view but nothing to lose your mind about. Service was fine but they didn't reserve us a table in the back by the windows as we had asked for in our reservation days earlier.

Anysa

BUYER BEWARE: on a Sunday for brunch be mindful of your tab. According to the blonde bartender at front who is otherwise very nice, after 4pm your $8 champagne becomes $12 (at the bar anyway)! #takeno

Ron Leighton

Pernil !!! Last gasp of summer!

Dmitriy S
