“For a beachfront restaurant, the menu is extensive and some of the dishes are quite interesting, I was pleasantly surprised (even a little impressed). Especially the grilled Mediterranean sardines, which were quite good, and the small Greek salad was also fresh, but the vinaigrette would have been better. This is a very child-friendly place with great service and can accommodate a large group of adults and a group of children. Reasonable prices and right on the beach. The portions are generous“

“Are you looking for a Haitian restaurant where you can finally sit, eat, and not leave with your clothes smelling like you work in the kitchen? La Gourmandize is where you should go. The atmosphere is welcoming, the location is meticulously clean, and the staff is incredibly friendly. I actually was able to conduct a business meeting there today and not worry about if my client’s clothing was going to smell like “épice” (Haitian spice). I ordered “fritay” (Hatitian sample platter). It had “akra” (fried-Haitian-finger-food), “bannann pézé” (fried plantains), “griot” (fried pork), and a side salad. You probably thought I forgot about the “Pikliz” (Haitian hot sauce)? It was some of the freshest servings of pikliz I’ve had. Although it was a fried food platter, the serving wasn’t drenched in oil. The Akra and bannann pézé were crispy, not overcooked, and well seasoned. The griot was well prepared, soft, and well spiced. I highly recommended this place if you’re in the mood for some authentic Haitian cuisine.“

“Shuckin Southern has not fell me, it always come through. The service was great and the food was even better. We had Mac n Cheese and Shuckin special sauce chicken. My girls always ask for extra. Thank you for your service to the community for following your dream!!!!“

“We had an amazing experience at Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen thanks to our waitress, Jina! She was absolutely everything you would want in a server. Very pleasant, polite, and always had a smile on her face every time she came to our table.

Jina knew the menu very well, and if there was ever something she wasn’t completely sure about, she took the time to ask the manager or staff to make sure we received the correct information. That showed how much she cared about giving great service and making sure everything was right.

She constantly checked on our table to make sure we had everything we needed and made us feel welcomed the entire time. Because of Jina’s outstanding customer service, our dinner experience was excellent. Thank you, Jina, for making our visit so enjoyable!“

“They was friendly, definitely welcoming. The food was really good seasoned pork chops I had it was bomb.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co, and it was truly a five-star experience from start to finish. As a seafood enthusiast, I decided to indulge in their renowned seafood boil, accompanied by their delectable garlic bread. The combination of flavors and aromas that filled the air was nothing short of sensational. From the moment the first bite touched my palate, I knew I was in for something special. What truly stood out during my visit was the exceptional quality of the crab. As someone trying crab for the first time, I was apprehensive, but Bubba Gump Shrimp Co's preparation surpassed all expectations. The crab was impeccably cooked, tender, and bursting with rich, succulent flavors. It was a revelation, and I found myself savoring each mouthful, relishing the unique taste and texture that only fresh, high-quality seafood can provide. Beyond the exquisite cuisine, the ambiance and service at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co were equally remarkable. The atmosphere exuded warmth and hospitality, creating the perfect setting for an unforgettable dining experience. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my meal was perfect. From recommendations to accommodating special requests, their dedication to customer satisfaction was truly commendable. Without a doubt, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co has secured its place as one of my favorite dining destinations, and I eagerly anticipate my next opportunity to indulge in their culinary delights.“
