    Good food for a nice break after a flight Good service with great bar staff Good ambiance and great music Drinks on point

    Blackened salmon pasta
    Olaedo E.

    I came here on a Friday night around 7:30pm. There were a good amount of people inside and the space is really big. The music was BLASTING, which was a mix of hip hop, r&b (old and new) and reggaeton (or Latin trap). I enjoyed the vibes inside. We were seated immediately and the hostess and our waitress were extremely friendly and welcoming. I ordered a mango margarita, which was reallyyy good. For food, I had the blackened salmon pasta. It came with a really yummy garlic bread, which was soft, and veryyy garlicky. The pasta was a little overcooked and too soft for my liking. The salmon was also overcooked and a little dry inside, but still well seasoned. The dish overall was tasty, and I'd order it again, I'd just request al dente pasta and salmon over medium.

    Restaurant by day/club by night. This location has a bar and grill type menu. Very cool ambiance with TV screens, pool table, bar, and outdoor venue. There are great hookah options, and staff are attractive and friendly. Welcoming but laid back environment. Great music but limited selection on repeat. Food was basic. In a seedy area. Good deals however if in the area.

    We went for apps and drinks. They had a enticing happy hour. The guacamole came out and looked a little old. There was no flavor. Parking lot is huge but could also be tricky getting in and out. The drinks were good. The music killed our vibe. The hookah was also on the happy hour special but was a little weak. Our waitress took about 10-15 mins before she approached us. She included a tip for just 2 people as well. She was not very attentive. The only highlight of the night was the gentleman dancing and singing with his guitar. The main dancing area open on the weekends they will make you buy a bottle if you want a table. I don't know if I'll be back or not. At least not during the week. We also had a Yelp coupon that they refused maybe it was because we had happy hour specials but the waitress couldn't explain as to why.

    The drinks were great and ambiance was very chill. Music was blah but I mean after a few drinks you tend to vibe to anything. The service was good, only had to call the waitress over once because the rest of the time she would check in on us. The food for happy hour was fine, nothing extraordinary but edible nonetheless. Hookah was decent too but keep in mind you have to pay separately for that and it is only cash. My lack of stars for this review goes to the fact that we ordered the kebab trio to go and when I got home excited to try it, I noticed it all the components were not cooked. I called the restaurant back right away and I should be getting a refund but it was my first time trying food so it did suck to have to experience this. I will definitely give it another try though!

    Picada

    We stopped in for lunch yesterday, Friday. The music was very loud for about 1pm in the afternoon. We shared the Picada. Rather large portion, it was good. We couldn't finish it and took leftovers to go. Our waitress was very nice and somewhat attentive. I had water and husband had a martini. The bill was about $75, I thought a bit pricey. Pls be aware that tip is automatically added. Not sure that we would return. But looks like it would be a fun nightclub!

    Bottle service was fun! Friendly staff. Good music. Spacious venue. There is parking. Good prices. A hidden gem tbh.

    This place was super dope. This is a definitely a spot you want to come to for bruch especially if you have a nice size group. The food was good, so was the drinks. The music was definitely was on point and will definitely be back again. A

    They have valet parking, though I did manage to find parking in the area just be cautious of the…read moresigns around. (Not paying all that money sorry). They stamp you so that way you can come and go freely. (Smoking outside only) If you get a ticket in advance a lot of times the tickets will allow for free entry before a certain time. Just make sure to get stamped if you're waiting for friends just head in get stamped and then leave so that way you don't have to wind up paying. I will say the drinks are pricey, however. I got four shots and it came out to about 60 bucks total. I also got a shot from the woman walking around with the tubes. Normally those are flavored, here it was not and it was $10. So I wanna say a shot itself averages between 10 and 15. The music varied. I will say that. There's two different rooms so we did not have access to one of the rooms but that room had cars with blasting speakers playing solo Reggaeton music. I think it was Spanish night in general because most of the music played in the main area was Hispanic as well. Though I will say there were a couple random oldies as well as Soca music thrown in. The main dance floor is uncovered pool and it makes me wonder if the place used to be a swimming area or if that's just part of the aesthetic. Overall, it was a good time. I'd like to come on a night in which it's not themed to potentially and maybe cheaper drinks would be better. If you want hookah, it's like 60 bucks too, and I know some that might not seem too expensive, but as someone who lives in Brooklyn. If it cost more than I would do in Manhattan, in a place like jersey, to me it's like wow.

    Huge venue. No longer has a pool in the middle!…read more Ladies free before 11. Street parking or $20 parking in lots in the area. Friendly staff. Drinks not cheap but not overly priced either. They do offer hookah if you are into that and tables are reasonably priced. Went on a Saturday night and it was far from packed but the DJs were pretty good. Would love to see this place packed out.

It was easy to find parking nearby on the street, we walked in and were immediately sat down. Service was great throughout the meal. The server did speak primarily to us in Creole. I can see how that may not work for someone who is not Haitian. Maybe having someone who did speak a mix. However, he was very nice and the food came out fast and was delish. Shared a griot fritay to start and it was definitely tasty and portion was good. For entree I had the legume with Beef with black rice. Tasty, spicy, and very authentic tasting. I can say they stay true to the flavors and don't water them down. The drink was ehh. I did not taste much liquor in the creole punch. Not worth it in my opinion. In terms of ambiance, I wish better music was playing. The set up was cool. Nothing amazing. If I was in the area again, I would come back.

I will mention one thing I stated to the bartender....The bar chairs are INCREDIBLY uncomfortable. These seats were not made to fit full size adult derrière. Good vibe.
