I've been here may more times than I could count & the food is absolutely divine every time. The staff is super friendly & really work above & beyond to cater to you. The ambiance is so great too. My friends & I love their seating for their gorgeous windows overlooking the streets of Vieux-Port, but the bar is where the fun is! The bartenders are super kind & engaging, & we always leave having had a wonderful time.
