Son Cubano

One of New Jersey’s premier award-winning restaurants, Son Cubano provides excellent service and an atmosphere dedicated to the 1950s Cuban era of glamour, elegance, music, dancing, flavors, style, entertainment and heritage.
Son Cubano is born from the heart of seasoned restaurateur Alexander Duran, embellished by Culinary Director, Chef David Burke, and anchored by Executive Chef Brian Morales. The bold and elevated menu is nothing short of outstanding. The open-air setting, vintage décor, modern Cuban influenced cuisine, live music and a full view of the Manhattan skyline leaves a lasting impression.
