Alma de Cuba

is the first Stephen Starr restaurant that I’m writing about. Perhaps because it’s my favorite amongst all the Starr restaurants.

Location: On Walnut, in between 16th and 17th.

Cuisine: Cuban and South Caribbean inspired dishes.

Must-haves: This place makes the best mojitos and ceviche in the city. (Rainbow Ceviche is my all time favorite. I get week-long cravings for these things!)

Specials:
They have happy hours from 5pm – 7pm on Mondays – Fridays. They have $5 Sangrias (White and Red) and $6 Classic and Suave Mojitos, with complimentary tapas. Very yummy!

Service:
If you dine with them, the waitstaff is very attentive and professional. If you’re only there for happy hour, the waitstaff are courteous, but a bit hasty. Sometimes they have too many tables to look after. Or they keep running around and you wait forever to get your check or to pay.
They also have outdoor seating, facing Walnut. Its great to people watch, tan, sit outside and chat up a storm with your friends.
