Profile

Once you get a load of the scene at this place—one of New York's most perennially hip restaurants, right up there with Nobu—you'll be doubly impressed the food is so good. The theme is Asia meets Cuba (or at least Latin cuisine generally), but nothing feels forced. Dishes are served family style—great for large groups. The centerpiece of the white-curtained Philippe Starck dining room is a communal table for 36. Asia de Cuba calls Ian Schrager's Morgans Hotel home.

Fashion Prix-Fixe

Food was amazing, waitress super nice, decor beautiful, drinks amazing... just an overall great place to eat. On the expensive side, but well worth it. Get the coconut dream martini, it's amazing.

Perfect! if only the food was good

The service was great, the atmosphere appealing. The drinks, not bad. But the food horrible. They put out horrific food for a Saturday night and not to mention how pricy it all was. They say you get what you pay for...Read More
