A hidden gem with a view! We had a wonderful experience at Son Cubano in West New York.

Chloe Anderson

Come for the view, linger over the decor, stay for the cocktails and savor the food! The entire evening was excellent – from the valet, the view, the appetizers (some David Burke standards and some unique to this location, all fabulous), to the photographer who took a great shot to commemorate the meal. Worth the visit for more than just special occasions!

Michelle Levengood

Great food (got the pulled pork with tostones, yuca y arroz moro) with the pasión tropical cocktail. Came for Havana Thursdays; the atmosphere was very intimate, the live band was great, and our server Kimberly was excellent!

Anny N.

Haven’t been here in a while but when I do come, I always leave happy and satisfied. Seasonal menu is always on point and happy hour food/prices are more than worth it. Shout out to the bartender Daniella, if you go you have to ask for her. You taste the experience in every one of the cocktails she hands you. You feel the difference in overall service, left today with a smile because of her hospitality and talent. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Brandon Reveron

I booked a reservation for 15 for my wife’s birthday and I couldn’t have made a better choice. I was formally greeted by the hostess, the event planner, the waitress as well as the owner. All of them made me feel like a high end client! Hilary was absolutely incredible in helping me set my reservations and make last minute changes. The atmosphere was elegant and tasteful. Will be back for sure.

Marcello Gago

We were guests at a top-notch party at Son Cubano. The food, the atmosphere, the seamless way the wait-staff worked together…all of it was superlative. Special kudos to Barbara Flores, one of the event managers, who went out of her way to make sure each guest was taken care of. Barbara spent extra time with us, helping us order the dishes that fit our dietary restrictions and making us feel warmly welcomed. Gracias a todos!

Carla Z. Oliveira

We had an excellent time for a birthday party. Kimberley, our waitress, was really sweet and took great care of us. Food was amazing, and the view is just incredible!

Alexandra Yacoub

Son Cubano is our go-to spot for drinks, and we’ve been coming here for years! The atmosphere, the views, and the energy are always on point. But what really makes this place special is Daniella—she’s been here for at least 6 years, and she’s hands down the best bartenders, don’t get us wrong the whole crew is amazing though including the other bartenders, Sylvan and Mario! She’s always welcoming, makes amazing drinks, and knows exactly what we like. As locals for over 10 years, we’ve tried plenty of places, but nothing beats the experience here. Highly recommend for a great night out!

Gregory Grishayev

We booked Son Cubano for my daughter’s college graduation brunch for its food reputation! This venue gave me the whole package! Amy was my venue planner! Amy knew every detail of the venue and how we could best structure the package to fit my vision and budget. Amy did a fantastic job making sure every detail happened according to plan.  My guests were received with welcome drinks and the staff was very professional, happy and energetic! The bottom line is that on the day of my event, Son Cubano showed up and executed the event beautifully, from the decor, to the food, to the event management. I have been getting non-stop compliments on the party from our friends and family about how awesome the brunch was and how much fun they had. Can’t thank the team from Son Cubano enough.

Lopez Liz

My daughter took me here for my birthday and this place is amazing. The location right on the water is spot on, as this place has windows all around and you can see everything. The ambience was superb. The maitre’d, staff, waiters and even the bathroom personnel were friendly, very helpful and provided exceptional service. The food here is spectacular, fresh, tasty (well seasoned) and hot. Our plates all came out at the same time. This is a FANTASTIC place for a date night and birthdays. I whole heartedly recommend this place.

Rodney Moses

The staff, servers, chefs, bar, hosts and hostesses, ambiance, and valets are all top shelf and very professional yet fun. Even the restroom attendant makes your visit pleasant. Taking a friend there for dinner and a little dancing had me wondering why I don’t go more often. I will wonder no more and go every time I get the itch for a guaranteed great time. Highly recommend. One of my favorite places to experience.

David Lesesne

Had a great experience, our family felt right at home, being our first time at the restaurant. Kimberly explained every plate on the menu and had an answer for every question we had about a dish. She even remembered it was my father’s birthday and brought a candle and the team to sing happy birthday on her own accord. Thank you for the wonderful experience, until next time!

Daniela Blandon Montoya

Where do I even begin? From the moment we walked in, we were completely captivated by the atmosphere, exceptional service, and the overall experience. Our server, Daniela, was truly a standout—professional, kind, and absolutely delightful. She made our visit even more memorable. And the food…wow! This was our second time dining here, and it never disappoints. Every dish was incredible and exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be returning a third time!

Iliana Diaz

Truly an amazing experience here at Son Cubano. I ordered the filet mignon, and my date ordered the grilled salmon. Jose was probably the best server I’ve had in a very, very long time. He helped with our selections and offered the perfect temperature for my steak. Hillary, the woman working up front was also wonderful. I had to order a birthday cake last minute for my date, and Hillary was able to make it happen without my date finding out. Such a wonderful experience and I recommend doing it anytime you can.

Brendan Bartlett

Kimberly B. went above and beyond to make our anniversary celebration truly unforgettable. Her warm personality, impeccable attention to detail, and genuine care for our experience elevated the evening to another level.

We will definitely recommend this restaurant to others and look forward to returning for another incredible experience!

We had an amazing time and left with satisfied stomachs.

Our server was very attentive and accommodating! The entire team went above and beyond from our entrance to our exit. It was my wedding celebration and our server offered us Champagne!

My friend and I went there for my birthday and we had Kimberly B. As a waiter. We hadn’t been here in a while so, she made some recommendations and everything was absolutely delicious.

Will definitely be back soon!

We totally indulged in the clotheslined bacon a la Son Cubano but with the pineapple it was just perfection, the best hands down!!!!! Thank you Son Cubano team for going above and beyond. For being accommodating with our preferences & just elevating the dining experience all in all! The cocktail list was also very special!!!! I enjoyed the special espresso martini with tequila and Bailey’s and it paired nicely with the bread pudding! Can’t wait to return!

Debbie Pascual

My recent dining experience at Son Cubano was absolutely unforgettable, thanks to our outstanding waiter, Omar. From the moment we were seated, he made us feel incredibly welcomed and taken care of. Omar was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering excellent recommendations that made our meal even better. The service was prompt, and Omar made sure our drinks were always filled, our dishes arrived perfectly timed, and every request was met with a smile. Son Cubano is already known for its delicious food and lively atmosphere, but having a waiter like Omar takes it to another level. We can’t wait to come back again.

Tyanna Cano

I absolutely LOVED this restaurant. Not only does it have great views of the water and the city skyline, but it has amazing modern Cuban food. We traveled 40 minutes to get to this restaurant and I’m so glad we finally made time to go. When I walked in the front door, I was warmly greeted by their Assistant General Manager, where I told him it was my first experience and he informed me of Fuego Fridays where they have music and entertainment around 9 pm. Our server was polite, had several recommendations, attentive, and always had his eye on our table for when we needed his assistance. I will definitely be back for dinner, a walk, admire the city skyline at night, and dessert. If you have an open Friday night, I would recommend making a reservation here. Thank you for a great experience!

Rachel Klein

I went there early and ordered a la carte. I ordered the branzino and it was great! Service was amazing as well.

The place looks nice. If you want to dress up and have a great experience without going to nyc this is the spot.

Valeria Costa

My family and I had a great evening at Son Cubano celebrating New Year’s Eve.
