It’s got a tarnished history that may turn off some. I’ve also never really enjoyed their food (it’s fine, but there’s better Cuban cuisine around, such as Mi Cuba in Columbia Heights). I recall the drinks being decent, though I’ll confess I haven’t been in five years or so.

Out of all the great, local spots in DC, I wouldn’t go to a chain. They’re in 5 cities and it’s essentially a Cheesecake Factory, but Cuban.

I’d sit at the bar to make it more casual vs a sit down

Agreed. I’d probably sit down for a second date. But I enjoyed the ambiance.

I've never been but my Cuban friends really don't like it.

It's a fine spot for happy hour at the bar if you're just meeting for drinks and a snack. It's not amazing but it has fun decor and decent enough happy hour prices

There are far better options out there.

Go to the one in Atlantic City at the Tropicana. The one in DC is not as good. I wouldn't take your date there unless you are going through the motions to please your parents/setup-er/ex you want to reconnect with/etc.
