My wife and I absolutely loved our trip to Amador this weekend! Everything about the place was great!

The decor & atmosphere here are stunning! However, I was disappointed that their patio seating wasn’t open. They were out of ALL Tequila and several other things. Our sandwiches were just okay, honestly. My flan was pretty good though and the Havana cocktail that I got actually was the best item that I tried! So I have mixed feelings about this place overall.

Great atmosphere! The service was very good (everyone: hostess, bartender, waiter), though a dress code for waitstaff should be considered. The mojitos were good, but fell short of the expectation of a Cuban restaurant (and the price). The greatest inconsistency was the food. The ropa vieja had great flavor, but was missing the vegetables. Half of the cubano sandwich was loaded, while the other half had next to nothing. Definitely willing to go back and give it another chance, hoping the good traits are consistent (and willing to update my review accordingly, as well).

There was a 1.5 hour wait because we didn’t have a reservation. We sat outside and ordered the food at the window. My friend ordered her food after us and got hers. I went to the window asking about ours and he forgot to put our order in. The food was OK it can use more flavor and the portions we’re small for the price. My wife is from Puerto Rico and her friend is Cuban they should know how it should taste.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. The service was incredible. Our server was so knowledgeable about her personal favorites on the menu. She helped us find something for everyone at our table. Every bite had so much flavor and the Cuban sandwich was probably the best I’ve ever had! The drinks are amazing- get the mojito. And the ambiance of the restaurant- beautiful! What a great place.

The restaurant is decorated beautifully and the atmosphere is very comfortable. I have never had Cuban food so this was a new and unique experience for me . The service was perfect and the food was delicious . There is also a nice cocktail list . I had the mint mojito and the expresso martin. They were both very good.

Lunch here was a wonderful experience! We throughly enjoyed every aspect of this restaurant. The teas were beautiful, the coffee was rich, and the food was generously portioned and flavorful. Our server, Jessianna, was so sweet, providing us with great service and pleasant conversation. There was such a fun atmosphere! If we are ever back in Cincinnati, we will be sure to stop in again!

Stopped by for a drink and a quick appetizer. The cocktails were sublime, and our yucca fries were amazing. Really filling! Our waitress was in training, but she was really sweet.

First, let me say the decor is pretty dope. They did a good job on the design. Plating was awesome. Servers are cool but the food I’ll give it a 4 out of 10 It should be expected being that this is a restaurant in northern kentucky but the food just was ok. I had to ask for salt. They’re busy. My review won’t sway the needle I live in Florida so I know really good Cuban food and this wasn’t it but if you are looking for a great time with good servers and good drinks go here. I wish them luck. Would I go back? Yeah I’d go back.

We arrived at 9:30 on a Thursday. None the less, we were greeted warmly and promptly. My wife had the pollo and I had the churrasco plate which was very good. For the accompanying cocktail, I ordered the Old Havana and it was well balanced with alcohol and taste. The view of the Ohio river and decor/music was also very lovely. Overall, a great place for any occassion.
