I just had to take a minute to tell you what a great time we had on Saturday. I know it was probably no big deal to you guys, but I do something like this for a group of around 10 to 15 people about 3 times a year and this was the best one yet. Everything was perfect. All your suggestions were right on. The staff was soooo nice to us and we loved our waiter. About 4 or 5 of us have been to Havana Central\'s before, but I can honestly say all my guests will be regulars now. I am even going to suggest to my company that we try to do our Christmas party there this year !!
So thanks again for everything!

The party was wonderful! The staff and manager were a delight. They made sure we were comfortable and asked every few minutes if we needed anything. They were extremely accommodating by splitting up the meat appetizers from the rest to meet the needs of our guests. We were thrilled and would love to have another party there sometime after our wedding! We loved being able to hear our band and eat the great food! Thanks! - M. Wasserman

Hi Hetty,

Hope you got some rest after the crazy night yesterday.

Just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you and your team for all the work and careful organization of our event; you guys went above and beyond to satisfy our needs. My group had one of the best parties ever.

Thanks as well to Ivan and all the staff for the great spirit and animation and the outstanding service.

Please let me know if everything was settled or if there is anything pending. I also wanted to ask you the favor of sending me, if possible, the itemized credit card receipts. My boss took the one with the totals, but we need the detailed one for accounting.

I remain at your disposal.

Thanks again, and my apologies for the last minute requests. Hope we weren’t too demanding.

Regards,

Carmen

I will definitely be back!

Thanks again,

My name is Ruben P. Several times throughout the year, I come up to NYC to wine and dine my top clients. I recently hosted a client dinner for 20+ people at Havana Central Times Square (12/9/09). I want to share some feed back on the exceptional service my clients and I received. The location was convenient, the décor of the restaurant was warm and charming, the food was delicious, the beverages were incredible (white sangria was my favorite) and the service was fantastic. There were two individuals on your staff that made this experience truly successful. I would like to have Heather Lynch and Liz Marra recognized for their exceptional service.

From the first time I contacted your restaurant, Heather Lynch was very helpful, delightful and a true pleasure to work with. She took the time to listen to what my needs were for my group and gave me great suggestions on the menu and ultimately put together a great package for my event. She was very helpful throughout the entire process. She always returned my calls in a timely manner and followed up with me frequently to see if I had any other questions and to tell me how much she was looking forward to hosting our event. During our dinner, she constantly checked in on our group and with me to make sure everything was to my satisfaction and making sure everyone was having a great time. At the conclusion, she gave me copies of the contract and our bill separately as I had requested many weeks prior. That was impressive that she remembered as most places I’ve worked with usually forget.

Heather introduced me to Liz Marra when I got to the restaurant and told me she would be taking care of our group that evening. I have to be honest; at first I was a little bit concerned that Liz might not be able to handle a group of my size (20+ ppl). Here in Dallas, it would have taken at least three people to serve and attend our group. But she proved me wrong. She did a phenomenal job! She was on top of every detail with everyone in our group. No one ever had to wait for a drink as she always made sure everyone had a full glass (per my request), she constantly asked my guests if they needed anything and if they were enjoying their beverage of choice. She kept us on track with the serving times as we had to finish by 7:35PM in order to get to our show on time and no matter what questions or requests I had, she always responded with a positive attitude and a radiant smile. Everyone in my group made several positive comments about her throughout the evening and afterwards as well. And I completely agree with them.

In closing, there are hundreds (even thousands) of restaurants to choose from in NYC. The difference between a good place and a great place is the combination of service, quality and culinary experience. Both Heather and Liz poses the qualities and provide GREAT SERVICE and they are the reason why I will always visit your establishment every time I visit your wonderful city for business or pleasure. And I will always recommend your establishment to my clients and my colleagues because my experience was truly amazing and memorable. Please thank them and the Chef for me. Have a great & successful 2010!

12/09/2009
Hi Heather,

Thank you for everything. We really, really enjoy the dinner and we are looking forward to either go back and eat at the restaurant or order from you. Have a great Christmas and all the best for 2010. And please keep sending me emails with anything nice happening at the restaurant.

Best regards,

Edna

Hi Heather,
Hope you had a nice weekend!
I want to thank you for assisting me with planning our holiday party. We have decided to have our party at another place since the staff wants a private room so we can accommodate a DJ for dancing. I am keeping the menus that you sent me so I can possible hold our spring dinner at Havana Central. We usually go to the Theatre for a Matinee Show on a Wednesday and dinner afterwards at 5:00 so I think Havana Central would be perfect for us in the spring.

I will be in touch with you as the date approaches so we can work together. Again thank so much for helping us out and I want to wish you a happy holiday season.

Best Regards,

We appreciate your efforts to accommodate all of us on such short notice. Can’t thank you enough! Hope you had a good a weekend, and we’ll talk soon. Mil gracias y saludos!

Hi Heather,

THANK YOU!! Really, it was such a pleasure to work with you and your staff. You are by far THE most professional and helpful team we have worked with.

We appreciate so much the time and energy that you put into making every piece of the event work wonderfully -- we know how many different items there are to manage, and all was seamless.

The event was great! -- the venue was perfect and we received lots of compliments on the food and drinks. By the way, can you send along Jeremy's email address? I would love to send him a thank you note from JDC (I only have his phone number).

Thanks again for everything -- and we look forward to working together again in the future.

All the best,
