The place is more casual upscale than a true Cuban restaurant. Wanted to see more of a Cuban cuisine, so it was kind of a bummer. However, our waitress Hanna, was very attentive and a great server, and she would make your visit pleasurable. Also, supporting staff was very great and did an excellent job. The rice was a bit on the overcooked side, and the chicken could use a little more seasonings and flavor. But, our shrimp appetizer was amazing, especially with the bread. I don't think I would visit again, parking on the weekend after 5 in a nearby parking garage became very expensive (20 bucks) for just an hour parking.

The food was delicious, but I will never be stepping foot into this place again. I went for a family type bachelorette dinner for my sis in law. It was clearly a family dinner. Two mothers, an aunt, me, & my sis in law. It wasn’t a bride with all of her friends looking for a night out. We were asked why my sis in law was wearing a tiara & we told them. When a man looking like he’s the manager came up to us with shots of tequila for everyone, we were a little confused, but we looked past it. Should have taken this as a red flag, especially since I’m only 19 & I wasn’t even carded. He was so upset 20 minutes later when he showed up & none of us drank those tequila shots. It was a nice gesture, but it was clearly a family dinner & I don’t understand why he kept pushing us to take tequila shots, even offering to bring us more & then told us he’d drive us home. So weird. We left the restaurant & we split the payment into three equal parts— two card & one cash. We told the waitress how we wanted to split it & she told us IT WAS OK. NOT ONCE DID SHE OPEN HER MOUTH TO TELL US IT WOULD BE A PROBLEM. She returned our cards & the change in cash. We left happily. Nobody stopped us. No one said anything about our payment method. We were told to have a good night. Two of us, me & the aunt, stepped back in briefly because our parking pass wasn’t working. The same man came up to us asking why we didn’t pay the rest/ didn’t leave tip. We left a good tip, too. Not just some spare change we had. When the aunt tried to explain how we paid, he kept walking away rudely, printing out the receipt, not even letting us speak. I knew for a fact that the change we got back was correct. He claimed only our card went through & we left no cash. So where was the cash we paid with? He told us to come back with the cash. Both of us left so astounded at the way he was speaking to us, especially since WE PAID. Literally two minutes after we stepped out, he chased us down saying that the “bus boy found the money under the table.” He said WE dropped the money under the table. Please someone explain to me how does that even make sense if we were only handed back the change. This guy is a liar & the waitress who took our money was clearly trying to take that cash & keep it for herself. Little did she know we would come back for the parking ticket. Look, I work in customer service/food industry & I know how to act in these situations. I am a 19 year old girl & I could have handled this WAY better than this grown man. Don't blame us for your crappy & sneaky waiters. Clearly, this guy was super unprofessional. This restaurant is super sketch. He’s lucky I didn’t drink because I could have claimed he was giving alcohol to an underage. What a joke.

Arriving early it wasn't crowded yet. Service was excellent. Food was excellent. Great wine list. Reasonable prices.

Very good Cuban food. I've been to a few Cuban places, and La Isla is one of the better ones. Not the best, but very good indeed.
