Driven by my wife's desire for Nachos and a word of mouth recommendation we selected the Greenpoint Cubana to test the goods.
As tee totalling Lacto Vegetarians, we were taken aback a bit by the focus on alcohol and meat, but that is entirely our own point of view and nothing wrong with a franchise theme reflecting certain values.
We also arrived a bit after lunch time on a Saturday so the place was fairly empty, but we were gracefully met and seated.
Reading the menu was a bit of a thing as initially we were guided to QR code on the table. Nobody could tell us how our phones would conjure up a menu. It dawned on us that an App was required, but no clear choice in Play store si we downloaded the menu from a website. Staff quickly told us that prices were not the same as the website and the phone version of the menu was tedious to read. Admittedly we are on the senior side but we are tech savvy and this system is not.

Unruffled we ordered the Nachos and as there was almost nothing else vegetarian in sight I opted for the Poppers Mushrooms and chips basket. Drinks were limited to sparkling water, and tonic with lime. The very popular Heineken 0.0 was not in stock although on the menu.

The Nachos was excellent although short on chilli slices according to my wife, and she is a expert, so we asked for more which was charged for.

My basket was normal deep fried fare, basic and generous.

Overall the service was good, like when you are in a foreign land and get what you want despite menu and communication issues. The windows and tables could have a good wipe and in the day the decor is a bit dark but overall, mission accomplished.
I have not been to Cuba, but 30 years younger we might find Cubana a great evening venue with a wide choices for meat eaters and more cocktail options than food.
We enjoyed our lunch and all Covid19 protocols were honoured.
