Has anyone been to the newly opened Cuban Revolution?  I've been following the story about them for awhile and am really looking forward to going.  It seemed strange for a Rhode Island restaurant to open down here, but the location and size of the space at American Tobacco seemed ideal.  The menu items looked tasty and well the only Cuban place I've been to is Carmen's over in Morrisville (had the ropa vieja and a Cuban sandwich).

Now I wonder when that steakhouse will open…

We had dinner there before a Bulls game Thurs night. Some general thoughts:

- They split their menu between tapas, sandwiches and entrees

- Reasonable beer selection, but I don't think there is anything on tap

- Many of the ingredients were what I might expect to find at a budget Mexican restaurant (e.g., iceberg lettuce and Calif. tomatoes). Not quite what I was expecting for the price

- I had some tapas that were OK but pricey.

- My wife had the entree ropa vieja which was generous and good.

- Loud but a good mix of music for me (AAA 80's)

- Wait staff still working out some cinks but very pleasant.

- Inside and outside seating.
