Havana 151 - The Loft at Lena's — Restaurant in Alexandria

It’s a little confusing when you can order either off the menu from the Italian restaurant or the Cuban restaurant. I would say, pick on for each establishment and grow from there. However, we had Cuban cocktails with Italian appetizers. The drinks (mojitos only) were good (my spicy margaritas could have been better). Our server was very attentive at the beginning and was on us for our drink and appetizer orders. But after that, she disappeared and was rarely refilling our drinks or asking if we needed anything else. I also told our waitress that we were here celebrating our friend’s 24th anniversary. Other than a congratulations they were not offered a free dessert or drink or anything. Our entires were ok, but for the amount of money you pay, I expected the Cuban food to be bigger. I’m a little disappointed. The atmosphere really takes you to those beautiful Havana nights. But the service and food was not...

I was invited to a birthday party at Havana 151. The vibes were vybing. The decor so cute and the atmosphere had me feeling I was in Cuba. There was a trio there playing live, setting the mood. We just had to get up and dance while we waited for our food. I guess people didn’t realize the open walk space was wide enough for dancing and for people to walk by. Other guests joined us in dancing. Talk about fun times! It’s a good thing we danced before eating because I was trying everybody’s food. Yes, it was temporarily big-back season. I tried the Birria tacos, Chicken Rustica, Lasagna, Grilled Chicken Alfredo, and Cesar Salad. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The Sangria was also spot-on. Fun times were had. Great dining spot...

Love love love the vibes in this place! Beautifully decorated. You walking and it's like you have left Virginia for a couple of hours. (Except bathroom.. hopefully they will decorate that too one day 🤭

The food is good. We had hanger steak, ropa vieja, paella, spinach dip and mocktails. We like it all but if we return it's for the decor. If you want Cuban food be sure to show up after 4pm. It's only Italian food before that.

Service was great. Quick kind and all smiles ready to serve! Great for a date nigh girls night etc!

Definitely check them out. Right in the Old town Alexandria area so plenty to do before and after!

Prices...just know you aren't just paying for food but...
