The old regime's food was much better than the current, in my opinion. The new folks that took over…read morethis establishment is nice too in terms of service with smile. I think they require improvement in the ambiance, but most importantly, portions because I recently visited for the second time but was disappointed. I paid $24 for a large oxtail which was more bones than the meat. I was disappointed when I arrived to serve my children this dish full of bones and rice instead of the much needed protein I paid for. I also tried a new treat they've displayed called festival (donut) and some kind of fish fritter, I was not pleased, it was cold, hardened, oily soaked and tasted old- like cooked in old oil. I may give this place a try a third time, hopefully I'll receive a better experience.

This place did not disappoint. I love love Jamaican food and the food here totally hit the spot…read more We had the jerk chicken and the stew beef. I have to say the I had better jerk chicken somewhere else but it was still good nonetheless. And the stew beef was fall off the bones good. Portion was huge. You can get two meals out from the $11 dollars container. Will be back for sure

One thing I always look for when eating at a restaurant that specializes in food from a specific…read morecountry is whether people from that culture are dining there too. At a Thai spot, I expect to see Thai people. At a Mexican spot, I expect to see Mexicans. You get the picture. So at this Haitian restaurant, there are always Haitians enjoying the food -- which tells you everything you need to know. If you're looking for an upscale yet still authentic Haitian restaurant, this is it. No matter what you order, they always start you off with a soup that's hot, rich, and flavorful. I usually begin with the Haitian caviar and smoked fish empanadas, then move on to either the Saveur Creole goat or the red snapper -- always with extra gravy, because I can't resist pouring it over their black rice (don't judge me). It's BYOB, so bring your drink of choice or grab something from the shop right next door. Another thing I love is that the owner, Robert, is usually there. He'll stop by your table, talk with you, and make the meal feel like a real experience. And if you admire the artwork on the walls -- he painted all of it himself. If you go, tell him I sent you... maybe then he'll finally sell me one.

The mofongo is made fresh to order for each customer using the old-fashioned method of beating plantains by hand. I ordered it with fried eggs on the side, medium, which were perfectly prepared.

Nestor and the rest of the staff had a good sense of humor and enjoyed chatting with the customers who stopped by for lunch.

It was the perfect size for two. The meat melted in your mouth, and the sauces were incredibly flavorful and not too spicy. We also split a very nice bread pudding for dessert. We liked the ambience and the music - nice for a date night, not too loud and not too soft. The chef Patrick was really hospitable and explained the different dishes to us. The prices were good and we left stuffed. A fantastic experience and I can't wait to come back.

It's in a dry town so they don't serve alcohol, but they allow you to BYOB. The service was really good. Friendly and efficient, and felt very homely. Even though we were a big group of like 15 and only one 2 gentlemen working, they were really efficient and on point. The food was really good! Everything came out hot and fresh and was seasoned to perfection. I tasted my friend's fried chicken and fell in love! So much so, I placed an order of just the chicken to go! I had: Jerk chicken tacos - 5/5 Crab fried rice - 4/5 Fried Chicken- 5/5 (amazing! Seasoned and fried perfectly) Definitely recommend this spot and would go back if I'm in the area!

It may be a while before I eat here again because of the distance, but for one day it satisfied my hunger for Caribbean food.

THE DO NOT LIKE TO SERVE NON-HISPANICS. 12/11/2021 4:20 ish…read moreLets start this off by saying I am a Jamaican woman. For months I would come to this Spanish restaurant every single day because I Really enjoy their food. I have witnessed how they would treat non Hispanics and it's absolutely DISGUSTING. First incident I witnessed but I wasn't there for the full incident so I didn't really have a full understanding of what took place, however they refused to serve the woman because she didn't look very pleasant. The second incident they had a new worker and she was responsible for serving me let's start off by saying she wasn't happy to serve my food, I ordered stew chicken and Every single part of the chicken she put on my platter was the part with all bones so I had to ask her to please replace a few of them. Lastly today I had my final straw. I went there to get my usual stew chicken. There was another family ahead of me so I waited to be served next. Afterwards a couple came in after me while I was standing there waiting to be served. There is this old man, not sure if he is the owner but he has always been very unpleasant to people who weren't Hispanics. He came and served the couple that came in after me while I was still standing there without asking who was next. The gentleman looked and he continued anyway while I stood there and around in disbelieve as if I was invisible. They served that couple yes that came in after me. I was so furious at the discrimination. So I asked the lady working there if they do not serve non Hispanics and if there was anyone there that I could speak to that spoke proper English and they said no. No apology nothing whatsoever. It's so disgusting that we still have to deal with this in America. NEVER AGAIN I'm highly upset because I spent a lot of money there. Also I noticed I usually buy the same exact thing and most of the prices are different on my bank statement
