I wanted to surprise someone who loves authentic Haitian food by finding the Lumbi fish their mother used to make before she passed away. They loved it! Great food and tasty, strong drinks.

My family and I dined here on the eve of Mother's Day. We made reservation in advance but still waited 10 minutes for them to get our table set up once we arrived. We waited over 30 minutes for water and over an hour for our entrée once we finished our appetizers and all orders were placed together. The food is really good but they need to invest in more staff. The bartender was also taking orders and mending the tables and during that time the bar was unattended. It was Saturday night so the restaurant was crowded and there were only 3 staff (which I take 2 of them were the owners). they are very unorganized because at the end of the night we were asked for our orders because they could not recall what we ordered...LOL! I would still visit this establishment for dinner just not on the weekends, especially with a group of 3 or more!

Having never had Haitian cuisine, I was eager to see how it compared to other caribbean cuisines. I enjoyed their take on classics like Escovitch fish and rice and peas. I also enjoyed enjoyed the traditional Haitian dishes: Akra (a taro root fritter ), and Goat Tasso (cubed and fried). The atmosphere was warm and casual. The drinks were superb, especially the mango margarita! Lastly, the house band provided enjoyable background music to a great meal.

Their fritay was whack. The sweet potato wasnt fully cooked and it was definitely small for da price. They charged a 18% gratuity for two ppl and we only had two appetizers and two drinks. Chloes is wayyy better. The band was cool though and I liked the drinks but not enough to come back.
