    The jerk chicken is 100% legit reminded me of the best roadside jerk chicken we had in Negril one time. Spicy cabbage was fresh and on the less cooked side with a bite and kick with sliced peppers thrown in, definitely a little different from your usual. Rice and peas is perfect with coconut flavor and super moist but not mushy or dry like many other places. Chicken was fall off the bone. Beef patty has good flavor. Chef and staff were very personable and we liked the pride they took in their food. Plenty of tables, clean. It's part of a small strip/complex, only complaint is parking lot is small; recommend parking on the street. Maybe one of our favorite Jamaican places in the area. Prices are fair. Do not trust any Jamaican place that's open on a Sunday (IYKYK)... that's how you know you can trust this place.

    I was excited to learn there was a Jamaican restaurant in my neighborhood. I tried it for the first time tonight and everything was fresh and delicious. You walk in and no longer feel like you're in New Orleans, the Jamaican theme was prevalent from the tables to the wall art! The food was authentic and reminded me of my visits to Jamaica! I thoroughly enjoyed the jerk chicken with rice and peas and cabbage. I also really enjoyed the chicken patty, spicy vut flavorful! The service was phenomenal and I will definitely be back!

    SO Delicious!!! This is my third time here in a few weeks. Their beef patties are authentic and all the sides are delicious. My husband loves the jerk chicken and brown stewed chicken.

    Jerk chicken, Mac & Cheese with spinach. Very good! I'll be back!!!

    Place was clean, vibrant decorative murals and the service was good. Food was the BEST Jamaican food I have had in the city in a while!

    jerk chicken and oxtail plate

    Genuinely some of the best food i've ever had in my life. Like my life was changed in this establishment. The staff was so sweet and so welcoming and i felt like i was in such a comfortable environment. Everyone should come here and bring their whole family.

    Customer service was A1. Steamed cabbage was very tasty, fresh, and crunchy. The macaroni and cheese was very good considering Jamaican spots aren't known for having good Mac and cheese. Jerk chicken was amazing as well and not too spicy. Only complaint was the oxtail. It was decent but wasn't falling off the bone, they were small, and it needed a little more seasoning. Overall this place has good food, spacious, a good vibe and not super expensive.

    Jerk pork, rice and peas fried plantain

    Food was excellent. Oxtail had great gravy and they were generous with it. Curry sauce was full of flavor. The curry was bold in the best possible way. Rice and peas was the perfect level of moist. Jerk pork was the best roasted pork taste with a jerk that wasn't overly hot. I really like the jerk, some people might want it with more pepper.

    Easter bun, crackers, cock soup, tastee cheese

    This place was excellent! We were invited by a friend who wanted to celebrate his husband's…read morebirthday. We showed up and the husband was sick but we all still had an amazing meal. Definitely an upscale but comfortable vibe here. Our waitress was amazing and I really wish I could remember her name. We had a variety of food and it was literally all just so excellent. Anything and everything we had was just excellent. From the pig ears to the chicken dinner to the dumplings. It was just all amazing. The dumplings are definitely a different take but they were so flavorful! The scallion biscuits were also just so fluffy and we had our choice of different butter to put on them. Literally this is a restaurant to try in New Orleans!

    Came for the Coolinary menu. Nice choices. Everything else is ala carte…read more By all means get the buttermilk biscuits served with regular butter and bacon butter! $8 for two. 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.

    My daughter stumbled upon the Oxtail special and since we were in the area on a Monday and they…read morehave REAL vegetarian options for my other daughter we went for it. It was delicious! We loved everything. Didn't realize this was Chef Charly Pierre's restaurant! Damn, I would have totally fan-girled had I known! (Probably best I didn't know).

    Unfortunately, almost everything about the experience was disappointing…read more 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.
