The preparation methods prioritize crunch and texture, ensuring each piece of poultry maintains a balance between a seasoned exterior and tender meat. This establishment functions as a dedicated outpost for those seeking traditional Caribbean soul food prepared with strict attention to historical recipe integrity. The resulting plates offer a direct look into the heart of Haitian comfort food without unnecessary embellishments or modern fusion distractions.

Plantains, oxtail, Mac n cheese, & griot were outstanding. Rice was a little dry; I wish they gave more sauce for it. Cute place. 😊

I ordered a small griot fritay. It was good. The plantains were flat & crispy just like I like them. The griot was tender & juicy. The marinade was tasty. No complaints!! The only thing that was poorly done was the picklies who literally just tasted like vinegar. The place is a bit small but I guess thats why they call it a bistro... The service was ok, nothing fancy.

ordered a griot plate & a jerk chicken plate with extra meat from Uber Eats. The extra meat was missing, which was the first problem. The jerk chicken shouldn't even be called jerk chicken because it didn't taste like it at all. The rice was okay. The griot platter was alright, not the best I've ever had, but not the worst either. The rice sauce lacked flavor. The pikliz didn't taste like pikliz, more like horseradish. & the portion of macaroni salad was really small.

I ordered through Uber Eats & tried the jerk chicken fried rice & the griot, both of which were delicious! The best griot I've had so far. Will definitely be ordering again in the future, thank you!
