I got the croissant triple 'B' and my partner got the oeufs au benedicte. Although both dishes were good portions, I do believe that the prices were a bit pricey for what they are. Moreover, I thought that the service was okay. When we first came in, they said they were cleaning a table for us but it took about 15 minutes for us to get seated. In addition, the dishes took about 30 minutes to come out, so it was a bit longer than I expected for brunch. However! We did get a change to meet the owner, who came in as we dined. You could tell how involved he is in the business and he is so lively. It made the whole experience very fun, and we even sang 'Happy Birthday' for a couple people who were celebrating their birthdays that week! Because of that, I think the experience of the bistro itself was one of my favorites. Aside from that, I thought that the food and service were alright.

I ordered baby back ribs and fries. I wanted to love this place. I really did. Especially since…read morethe two reviews that were posted were such raves. However, the fries tasted of old dirty cooking grease. The rub and sauce on the ribs were outstanding but the meat on them was dry and tough. For smoked ribs (and they were smoked) I had hoped for that fall-off-the-bone experience with tender juicy meat. But that didn't happen. They were just average. If it weren't for such a great rub and delicious sauce, I'd have given them 2 stars.

Everyone was so locked in, it was honestly kind of beautiful to watch how well coordinated they are were, bravo. Food was amazing, from the bread to the entree all the way to the desserts. I was delighted that I could order what ever I wanted and it be gluten free by default. My favorites were the peanut greens and the pork coppa, of the savory. Spicy for sure, won't be a 5 star meal for you if you cannot tolerate spice. The desserts were to die for, and I wish I could've taken more home. We got the baked haiti and the ice cream mosaic, and definitely get both if you're stuck between them. Perfectly balanced rum cake with a smooth meringue and what amounted to basically an ice-cream sandwich.. it was the perfect way to end the evening.

From the front gate to the front room, you can feel the calm, one-ness of Jamaican hospitality. We were greeted at the gate and lead to our seats by a wonderfully positive gentleman who welcomed us to our first visit and took our order with a smile. We tried the Jerk Chicken with Bread. Served with rice and cabbage. All very flavorful and well portioned. Couldn't pass up trying several Pies. The beef patty was solid...but that Jerk Chicken is SOOOOO good, it was the Chicken patty that edged out above the veggie and beef. All were baked with the best patty crust any hand pie could offer.

I asked for some extra cabbage; which I understand that's up to their discretion; but it looks like they gave me less instead. The curry chicken and gravy is extremely over-seasoned. You don't even see the yellow in the curry. I asked for a side of pepper sauce, I open it and it was just a blob of pepper sauce on top of my rice. I removed it and used my own Habanero sauce. The guy at the other place is very friendly and will always add in extras if you ask. This place has just gone down from years ago.

The menu is delightfully simple, featuring chicken and rice, but don't let that fool you. This isn't like anything you've tasted before! The chicken is bursting with flavor, and the rice is simply to die for. They serve the food in take-out containers, which adds a casual charm to the dining experience--it's actually quite brilliant. Portland, you absolutely need to check these folks out and tell all your friends. Love Belizean is a culinary treasure that deserves all the attention it can get.

We enjoyed the food on Puerto Rico on our cruise so this was a treat. The restaurant was vibrant with island decor and family photos on the walls. My wife ordered a Mojito and I had a Rum and Coke. The mojito was underwhelming and was missing flavor. On to the food..... I ordered the Mofongo with pork and my wife had the garlic chicken. My meal was moist and tasty along with being filling. The garlic chicken was pounded thin and overcooked, very dry and hard to eat. The accompanying beans, rice and salad were very good. I mentioned the quality or lack of to the waiter (I think was the owner) and he questioned me like I was wrong. No apologies given. I didn't ask for a discount and wasn't given one.

The Marinated Steak was decent and had a good flavor to it, but the Mofongo would be my recommendation.
