You see, I try to remain objective, especially when critiquing food from a different culture. It's…read morealmost like you invite for a traditional home-cooked meal, but get a tirade when you ask how it was. With all that, I'll award them some benefit-of-the-doubt, but still, the stew remains inedible. To be fair, this has as much to do with me (and my tastebuds) as it does with the food. Ordered: Ginger Beer (nonalcoholic), Liberian Jollof Rice, Egusti Stew (comes with pounded yam). Ginger beer was perhaps my favorite thing that night. Some sweetness, hearty amount of spice! No carbonation in this one, but considering it is house-made, carbonation is a bit tougher! Jollof rice (Liberian variant) was uninspired. I was expecting something different and with oomph, this wasn't it. It was rice mixed with veggies and some meat. Solid for sure with decent albeit mild flavors, but not much else. Again, nothing wrong per se, just not worth the trip. Oi, and the fried plantains and fried dough balls were similarly humdrum, only they felt like they'd just swam laps in a pool of oil. Egusti Stew... there's something fishy about this one, REALLY fishy. so much so, it made the stew inedible. For lack of a better description, it was meat (chicken, maybe?) and stockfish in an insanely strong fish sauce/broth. Then there were the bones... I don't mean large chicken bones (these were there too), but these tiny little bones you have to fish out of your mouth with your hands. It doesn't help that the stew was extremely heavy on the oil either. I could tell there was some good spice there, but the fish quickly gulped it all down. Pounded Yam was an interesting starch! I will say it could benefit from some spice, though to be fair it is meant to be eaten with the stew, which was flavor by itself. The owner, who took care of us was extremely nice and sweet. So, because I want to see this place thrive, my advice: a key to get people in the door and loving this stuff would be to make it more approachable. Don't misunderstand: I'm not saying to replace the pounded yam with french fries, I am saying know your audience. There will be people who will extol the Egusti stew until their last day... but they are the minority (citation needed) compared to others who cringe at the sheer memory of the flavor. I'm beating around the bush with this advice, aren't I? Here are the specifics: Have dishes that are at least somewhat familiar and "comfortable" to the American tastebud, and add some traditional flair, but do not go overboard on it. Better yet, do what a Korean place I love did, have dishes with various degrees of funkiness (I mean this positively) so the guest can decide. Unless the menu is revamped, I don't see myself returning here. My taste-buds won't have it.

A delicious and scrumptious food menu. A must try and my favorite are the Liberian collard greens…read more Check this place out ..off the beaten path but worth the ride. The jollof rice...delicious. You will be satisfied. Yum...

This spot is a gem! We read reviews and knew it was going to be delicious, but still were blown…read moreaway. The site is transformed inside from the driving range outside and has fantastic food and drink. We got a specialty coffee and mint tea to start. My coffee was good, but overshadowed by an artistic and extra special mint drink. So desperately trying to reproduce at home, this is not to miss. Fresh mint and wonderfully steeped with sugar to smooth. From there- wings were on our table. As with everyone's input we devoured these as a special recipe. Charred perfectly and spiced with extra lemon and zip. As advertised- spectacular! Lastly we got a salad and then the lamb with cous cous. So tender, great sweetness to contrast the somewhat spicy wings. I have never been to Morocco but felt like I did for this meal. Definitely cooked with tradition in mind and expertly to get fall off the bone brilliance. Service was exemplary for a holiday weekend. Even entertaining as funny quip showed great care to the patrons. All food was served quick and with care. Highly rated from me and my guest - come hungry. Portions are great (even a side Misto salad was large). Need to come back!

This little café has a beautiful sunset at night that you can see from sitting at the bar. Chandra…read morewas our server and bartender last night. She was so knowledgeable on all of the dishes especially on what was gluten-free and extremely friendly. We enjoyed great conversation and learned a lot about different foods there. The wine was very good also . I was too full to finish my chicken dish took half home and took a dessert home. Everything was delicious. I wish we had tried this restaurant sooner. It's a great find. We will definitely be back.
