That being said, you are definitely getting your moneys worth here. My party of 4 ordered 3 oxtails plates with rices and peas, Mac n cheese and the veggies. The oxtail were huge and jerk and delicious. (They ate too fast so no pics!) I was a bit more reserve when it came to my plate but I got the oxtail taco and nachos that are made with fries. I only ate the taco because I was so overwhelmed by the size of my plate (which is pictured)! Everybody enjoyed their food and I have plenty of leftovers. Again, the amount of oxtail in the taco and on the fries/nachos was ungodly. I have never seen that before. Service was nice and everything is made to order so there is a wait. No frills kind of place so no need to dress up. Nice music and selfie booth inside where you can send pics to yourself. Overall, I would go back and try something else when I return.

I got grilled peach on sort of a collard green goddess dressing. It sounds weird but was excellent. Husband got green salad. Generous portion. For entree I got drilled snapper with tomatoes and okra. It was perfectly cooked. Husband got goat curry. He wasn't wild about it. It was very peppery and very salty. Would have been better served with rice and maybe plantains to mellow it out. Also, it was $40. I got pineapple upside down cake with a small scoop of lemongrass ice cream. The cake was a little dry but the ice cream fantastic. Service very good. Water and tea refilled often. The person who checked us in was sullen and didn't crack a smile on entrance or exit. Not the right person for the job. The manager came and checked on us which is a nice touch. Our server was terrific. However I wish people wouldn't say, "Are you still working on this?" It's not a project! Instead, "Are you still enjoying this?" sounds much nicer. Not the restaurant's fault at all but I was appalled at how slovenly some of the diners dressed. Cut off shorts, tank tops, baseball caps. Perhaps they are hotel guests. It's just unfortunate people don't put more effort into dressing nicely at a good restaurant. It's not Waffle House! Bill was $140 not including drinks. A little steep. There is a 4% "kitchen fee" applied. At least they put that on the menu so not a surprise. I always thought tips were shared with the kitchen anyway. I deducted 4% from my usual 20% tip. Atmosphere very pretty with nice sound track. Gorgeous plants out front. Full bar, some people eating at bar.

To be able to have your food represent your local area and community- AND introduce the bold flavors of the Caribbean- AND pay homage to the soul food traditions of the South takes talent, dedication, and love.

The side dishes are all amazing. Fried Maduros, dirty rice, mac&cheese, potato salad, cucumber salad with pineapple dressing all freshly prepared and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We were the only ones there which was odd to me. The servers weren't apologetic when telling us about no brunch menu and not overly friendly. We were t welcomed when we arrived either.

Unfortunately, almost everything about the experience was disappointing. The service: - Our drink order was botched. - Several times, the wrong food was brought to our table. At one point, a completely different waiter had us recite our order again so she could figure out what was supposed to be coming out of the kitchen. - My meal arrived 15-20 minutes after my husband's because of a mix-up in the kitchen. The seating: The booth tables are extremely cramped. My husband and I were seated at a booth that we literally had to squeeze into. The table was so close and high that, as a woman on the Itty Bitty T¡tty Committee, even my chest was practically resting against the table, and it pressed uncomfortably against my diaphragm. For context, I'm a size 16 and my husband is an XL. Yes, we're larger people, but not so large that we shouldn't be able to sit comfortably enough to put our linen napkins on our laps. The configuration was simply uncomfortable. And then there was the food. As someone who has eaten tons of local Haitian food as well as Haitian-American and Haitian-Canadian interpretations of Haitian cuisine, I feel confident in my palate and in my ability to recognize well-executed Haitian food. This was not that. The food was subpar and, frankly, uninspired. I ordered the Joumou Gnocchi, and it was soulless. There was little to no jus (soup/juice), and the gnocchi (which were supposed to be made from squash) were essentially dense shards of dough. They lacked the lightness and tenderness I would expect from properly made gnocchi. There were bits of oxtail in the dish that were actually quite tasty, but they couldn't save the dish as a whole. And again, this was the meal that arrived 15-20 minutes after my husband's because of the kitchen mix-up. My husband ordered the chicken with sòs pwa and legim. They initially brought him griot by mistake. When the correct dish finally arrived, the pwa looked extremely watery, and the chicken looked as though it had been prepared a day or more before and reheated. It had that unmistakable refrigerated-and-reheated appearance and texture rather than looking freshly prepared. I really hate leaving negative reviews, especially when I want to support restaurants serving Afro-Caribbean cuisine. But I also have to be honest about my experience. For someone who isn't familiar with Haitian food, this might pass as a 3-star experience. For me, based on what I experienced that evening, it was closer to 1-2 stars. I was genuinely disappointed. * 1 star for the calm and friendly demeanor of the staff and because they tried. * 1 star for the tasty bits of oxtail and the delicious carrot lime juice.
