“Love the Real Macaw. Party of 6 and everyone loved their meal and everyone ordered something different. Nice wine list and prices were what you would expect but certainly not overpriced. Such a lively atmosphere with a key west vibe. We love sitting outside, but sitting inside is always a treat too. Our waitress got the job done but honestly seemed like she'd rather be somewhere else. Live music was exceptional. Great blue grass live music and we could actually have a conversation over dinner without screaming over the music. I recommend highly!“
“I stopped by today to pick up a pastry and Cuban coffee, and was definitely not disappointed in the quality of the food or the service. I originally wanted a guava pastry, but unfortunately they only had guava with cheese - and I'm so glad that's all they had! Normally I don't like the con queso options elsewhere because it overpowers the guava, but this pastry was delicious. I ordered a double cafe cubano, which was perfectly sweetened and didn't need any cream or milk. Absolutely loved it, would definitely order again and again! All in all, this place is a great stop in the Naples area!“
“The woman over the phone spoke very softly with a heavy accent, and we both had a difficult time communicating. She actually hung up on me one time because she gave up trying, lol. But, if you can get past the language barrier, the food is absolutely delicious. It's very well worth it, with huge portions (enough for 2 people) and a variety of sides (that come included). I recommend the griot (fried pork platter), you won't regret it!“
“Devil’s advocate here: As an American, I only recently acquired a taste for Haitian food. Not that it’s bad, but it’s just not something I ate growing up. But I’ve eaten it enough to know when it’s flavorful and coming from a good cook versus Haitian food that’s the exact opposite. Currently, I live downtown Naples (George Washington apartments) so I’m right across the street from a Haitian restaurant. I’ve had their food enough to know that the food is okay, very greasy though. And the restaurant has no working air conditioning. At this restaurant, however, I had one of the best experiences yet had from a Haitian restaurant. There was a good selection of music playing, the lady taking our order was very nice, there was a line of people waiting (which to us means the food must be good), the food was cooked fresh, the griot wasn’t too greasy, and the rice was nicely seasoned. My only complaint was that I saw a roach crawling across the floor while I was dining in. But the food was so good I didn’t even care. 10/10 highly recommend“
“Loved the blackened grouper, risotto, and sauce. Gulf shrimp appetizer had 2 dipping sauces and arugula in the serving bowl. Mild enough to not break my sinuses out, but tasty! It was my birthday, and they gave me a wonderful chocolate mouse, or ganache, dessert with the singing waiters and a candle. Such a delightful place to enjoy dinner!“
“After a friend said I had to try this place, I decided to go for it. My thought was the obvious, jerk chicken. But I saw the oxtails entree on the menu so I had to order them. Did so as a takeout dish. The attendant behind the counter let me know all entrees come with rice/beans, sweet plantains, and side salad. It was a generous portion of rice and beans. Plenty for two people. Maybe order a side of chicken wings and you should have plenty for two people. The oxtails were tender and smothered in their sauce, fall of the bone. The sides were a good compliment. My only suggestion would be on to go orders, put the salad in a separate container. The salad became warm and wilted with the heat from the hot food, otherwise excellent. Plenty of dining in seats if so desired.“
