She beamed at me and said that her two aunts had just become the "new owners" (lessees) and that they were of Cuban descent and very excited and hopeful that they would succeed, using THEIR family recipes.

We ordered, and during our meal our young waitress came over to ask if we were enjoying our selections. She grinned again and said, "I told my aunt you were out here, and she very much wants your opinion".
I did enjoy my meal, and offered a note on our family recipe.

The next time we visited, they had included my suggestion for the dish! Amazing that they would do that.

So.... based on that, I would consider that MAYBE.... Golf-Tinker,
the lease has had changes.

The original Havana lessee, that Golf-Tinker mentioned, signed a 5 year lease back around Thanksgiving 2008.
