Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar

Best restaurant I visited in Atlantic City! The paella was packed with fresh seafood and amazing flavors. Staff were super friendly and even explained the drinks before ordering. Loved watching the happy chefs in the open kitchen. Definitely coming back!

Have never tried Cuban food before and can honestly say it's now time for some of my favorite cuisine! We came for a reservation and received in 15 minutes early which was very nice. They put us in a nice romantic spot for our anniversary and even the hand rode a nice little happy anniversary card! We got the meatballs which I literally put my Fork down after my first bite and exclaimed how damn good it was, loud enough for the entire restaurant to hear lol. We then got the flash fried pork with Citrus juice marinade and my wife got the salmon. Every bite was amazing the service was phenomenal I just can't wait to go back to the one in DC that's closer to our house

Do yourself a favor and order the octopus appetizer! It was so good, I ordered it twice. Even my six year old loved it. The fried snapper wasn’t what I expected. I’m used to whole snapper, especially for the price. It was also very dry. I gave this place such a high rating because of the octopus and service!

Delicious tostones, a perfect mojito, crispy PESCAO' FRITO, & mango-passion fruit gravy covered POLLO ASADO made our meal something to remember for a long time. Haven’t had Cuban food this good in the U.S. outside of south Hialeah/Little Havana! The perfect anniversary dinner choice… we were seated in a cozy loft upstairs. The service was just lovely. The mango butter on pressed Cuban bread made us wonder how we can make our own. Highly recommend!

I want to thank the lady host and the bartender. We were late for our reservation and also needed special accomodation for an elder in our group and the manager as well as the host were hands-on doing the most to get us a table asap and also provoded with seating while waiting. The two cocktails I had were amazing. Same drink with the prune vodka. They tasted the same and very well drafted both times. The red snapper was okay, perhaps overdone. The guava bbq wings were very good as well as the beef empanadas. However no one brought attention to the piquant sauce that came out with the wings. The waiter was very personable and nice but he often was gone and we have to wait for him to re-appear. Maybe he was overworked and was not his fault but it diminishes the positive experience. I know we ordered a 4th dish but I don't remember it now ( maybe it was called fried cheese). My recommendation is to use a more potent exhausting fan for the grill and the rest of the restaurant, as well. It was just too much smoke and grease floating in the air. The strong smell of food and the smoke took so much away.

We’ve dined here many times before and food, services & staffs have always been very good! We came here recently for our dad’s birthday celebration dinner with the family and it was a wonderful experience! Staffs & everyone were all very attentive and friendly! The complimentary bread basket with their home-made butter spread is very good to start! We’ve ordered a bunch of dishes and they’re all very good! The sizzling dishes were awesome! Everyone seems to have enjoyed all the food from all ages! Glad that they were able to accommodate our big party! All-in-all, everything was great all around!

The food was absolutely amazing. From the appetizers to our entrees, to the service. The ambiance was perfect and the menu options to choose from were difficult with how tasty everything sounded. I ordered the paella and he ordered the skirt steak which he said was delicious. Our server was fantastic, knowledgeable and attentive. Overall great experience.

We never ate here before but it was the least crowded so we decided to try it. Our meal was very good and our waitress was excellent. We had 3 dip with plantains and a Cuban shrimp. My husband couldn’t stop raving about the guacamole. He said it was the best her ever had. The garlic bread they give you with cinnamon butter was also very good.
