We asked about the lunch special, she couldn't explain it to us, etc....we got up and left. On the other hand sometimes the service is wonderful and food is good. I just don't get the inconsistency. Sometimes the salad bar is excellent and well stocked , other times it is old looking and missing half the stuff. I think it's a crap shoot when you go there.
I agree about the inconsistency. One day I arrived there and told the hostess I had 28 golfers coming in for lunch. She arranged tables inside near some booths so that all of us could be seated close enough to talk and settle the bets. At other times, a group of 4 seems to be a real problem. On the visit mentioned above, we were served promptly and accurately. On a subsequent visit with 6 people, the wait for service was like Mudder described.

It's a shame. Nice facility, prime location. Terribly inconsistent service and food. Havana's a potential gold mine, but it needs someone to truly take charge and do it right. You can only survive so long by being convenient.
