About this restaurant

Great for brunch
Good for groups
Great for happy hour

Caña Cuban Parlor and Cafe is a high-casual, Cuban neighborhood and destination restaurant with brunch & supper club, live-music and DJ components. Our concept is to serve well articulated Cuban classics with an eye for locally grown and sourced products. Our overall concept involves the use of real “Caña,” that is crushing our own sugar cane to produce syrups, glazes and tinctures. We place a special emphasis on creating a cocktail environment in the great Cuban tradition of rum-based bar-tending. Our concept involves a cultural component that integrates Cuban food, art, dance, music and ethnographic appeal that allows for penetration into Afro-centric, Latin and “Cubaphiles” who consume and/or have interest in anything Cuban… "Cuban Chic” or “La Furandula”…refers to the place to be.

This is my 2nd time having brunch at Cana. The food and drinks are great..you can tell there is the crowd that comes regular and then the New people who came to also enjoy...we enjoyed ourselves, but the acoustics were to loud, our ears were ringing...we could not hear our conversation...we wanted to stay longer, but the food was great and drinks, and the price is fair for the location...

A friend was visiting and wanted to go to Cana and Im so glad! We went for brunch immediately following a workout and it was amazing! I got steak & eggs for my main dish & the platains with cream for a snack. Both were awesome! Their bloody mary's could use some work but overall it was a great experience!!

We ordered ceviche appetizer, sirloin steak, and vegetable stew. Wine list was varied and reasonable. All were fantastic and nice large portions - very much worth the price... BUT, although they were as nice and sweet as could be, the service was VERY SLOW. Terribly under-staffed for a friday dinner hour. .. and everything came out at once, so we starved and then we gorged, not pleasant. we ended up leaving a lot of cash on the table & hoped no one would steal it, but couldn't wait for a credit card process as we had already been there over 1-1/2 hours. We might go back, but only if we have a ton of time.

Visited Caña over the weekend and it was a great experience. The food was great, I ordered the Cuban Fried Chicken. It was a huge plate and the chicken was nicely fried. I also ordered a side of Platanos Maduros (sweet plantain) to top it off. Will go again. On weekends they have a live band and a great crowd of Salsa dancers. It's a partay !!!

I have been to Cana several times over the last couple years. Early on, this place was well managed, vibrant and the food and atmosphere exciting. Food is consistently good but the last few times, including the latest, the service has been terrible. I visited with a friend over the Labor Day weekend and you would think they would have planned wait and bar staff accordingly. We ordered a couple mojitos with our food order. It took too long for the food to come out. And our drinks came after our food. We also came, and timed our reservation accordingly, because their website advertised that they had live music between 2-4 on Saturday. We were advised that they stopped their Sat. live music but had not updated their website.

I had the chicken and waffles, I thought it was ok, kind of dry.......Drinks were okay, because it's so trendy now and such a scene I felt a bit rushed. If the food was great, I may go back but I thought it was just mediocre......
