Many guests praise the authentic flavors, highlighting the tender griot, flavorful rice dishes, and impressive cocktails as standout menu items. While the majority of patrons enjoy the unique vibe and beautifully designed space, some feedback notes concerns regarding pricing, portion sizes, and occasional inconsistencies in seasoning or service speed. Overall, it is frequently described as a gem for those seeking a modern take on Haitian cuisine in a lively setting.
It's a pretty small place, so I'd recommend you come early since almost all the tables were reserved. Food was pretty good, not exceptional. Griyo (pork) was sooooo dry. But the grilled chicken, rice & accara were all good. A bit expensive for how small portions are. Drinks were nothing special unfortunately. & again, expensive. Glad we tried it, but nothing is tempting me back.
Un des meilleurs griot que j'ai jamais mangé! Riz collé est delicieux, parcontre, portion tres maigre de riz à la livraison ;( j'adore encouragé un resto mais si la quantité & le prix ne s'accorde pas, ca devient deceuvant...

Delicious food, friendly staff & great atmosphere At the time of this review, it's been my third time to this delicious place Delicious food with reasonable portions - pretty fast service in a very nice atmosphere! The shrimps are particularly delicious, as is griyo of course! Portions are great & prices ar reasonable, though you're better off ordering 2 servings of the 4 shrimps rather than the 6 shrimps - 4 shrimps at 9$ is 2.25$ a shrimp, whereas 6 at 14$ comes to 2.33$ a shrimp Definitely recommend the place!
My family & I had a lovely time at your restaurant. Thank you for such a wonderful service, the owner, the serves, the DJ...everybody was nice! Truly my go to restaurant now !

My date was suffering cramps throughout the day, but the food was so good it miraculously cured her! Coupled with a beautiful atmosphere celebrating Haitian culture, from decor to music, & a staff who are polite, thoughtful, & able to crack jokes comfortably, this is a place to remember & return to.
La nourriture est vraiment délicieuse, le goût est incroyable. Ils s'arrangent pour que tout le monde puisse vivre une bonne expérience. Je suis habituellement sévère avec les repas que je peux cuisiner, ils ont su me surprendre. Les saveurs étaient au rendez-vous. On est allé un vendredi soir très occupé, avec un bébé, c'était un arrêt imprévu, nous étions dans le quartier, mais le personnel s'est arrangé pour qu'on soit à l'aise, ils nous ont trouvé une place. Ils savent s'adapter aux imprévus, j'ai observé un groupe de personnes qui s'est présenté, il semblait avoir une erreur avec la réservation & ils ont trouvé le moyen d'asseoir tout le monde. L'expérience vaut le détour & si vous ne pouvez pas aller vous asseoir & manger, alors prenez le temps d'emporter vous ne serez pas déçu.
