Caribbean Grill Salads

Review Summary

At Au goût tropical, reviews describe very good Haitian dishes and friendly service, with praise for a welcoming atmosphere and positive experiences from past visits. The food is generally praised as very good and the service as solid, with kindness from the staff noted. One review recounts a recent griot order that arrived as a child’s portion with barely any rice and dry meat, followed by a phone call explaining that Uber Eats portions differ from in-house servings, a factor emphasized as the last time. Ambiance was linked to the delivery experience in that note. Overall, the collection of reviews points to tasty fare and warm hospitality, but a delivery mishap and portion size issue left a notably negative impression in that instance.View restaurant profile

Restaurant L'Escape

Review Summary

Reviews of Restaurant L'Escape describe very comfortable seating and a friendly waiter who used videos and photos to help select dishes, a welcoming, clean space that opens on time, and a dining experience that felt like a cherry on top of a trip. The food is praised as amazing, flavorful and authentic Nigerian fare, with dishes like Ogbono Soup, Bitterleaf Soup and Seafood Okra that are well seasoned and not overly salty or spicy. The atmosphere, including good music and a cozy vibe, contributes to the positive impression, and many say they would return and recommend the place. Some observations note that the seafood okro is tasty but the crab and shrimp portions are small for the price, and there is a sense of discovering Nigerian cuisine rather than Cameroon when visiting.View restaurant profile

Restaurant Top Pick

Boom J's Cuisine

Review Summary

Reviews show Boom J's Cuisine delivering hearty portions and crowd pleasing options like jerk chicken and oxtail, with some praise for affordable prices and friendly service. Yet the sentiment is mixed, with several mentions of bland or uneven roti and patties, gravy that tasted like it had sat for days, and rice that seemed microwaved. Some meals are described as well seasoned and flavorful, while others are criticized for being too sweet, too salty, or not meeting traditional Jamaican expectations. Service experiences vary, including slow or unclear communication on orders, though other visits highlight helpful staff and quick pickup. The overall takeaway is that quality and consistency appear variable, but many reviewers would still return for the core dishes and big portions.View restaurant profile
