Found out there was a second (original ) location in Stratford, On the phone they told us to come right over, they were waiting for us. When we arrived they welcomed us with open arms, were super friendly and super attentive. They treated my daughter like a super star. The food was delicious and the cocktails were so creative and tasty. Would highly recommend and will definitely return.“

Jean's Diner American •

“My parents and I just stumbled upon this restaurant as we were looking for lunch along our trip to Maine. I am glad that we found it as I had never had Haitian food before and was glad to try it here. I got the Poul Nan Sos Meal (Stew Chicken) with the Diri Djon Djon rice. The chicken was crispy and cooked in a delicious and spicysauce. It came with plantains and a spicy cole slaw. The Diri Djon Djon rice had a great texture and flavor, unlike any rice that I have ever had! Definitely recommend this dish and restaurant, we hope to be back in the future.“
