Where do I start I drove from Lynn to get what I wanted to be authentic Haitian food however I got mediocre food it wasn't the flavor I was looking for did not taste like authentic Haitian Rice at all the chicken was good but it tastes like American people trying to make Haitian food I would recommend searching around the area to see if you want very authentication food but this just didn't make my cut

This place has friendly accommodating staff. Plantains are crunch and tasty. The food is good quality Haitians food. I will visit again, soon.

The rice was dry, the goat was under-seasoned and the pate wasn’t made right. I feel like they cut cornered and you can’t do that with Haitian food.

I ordered takeout and I got the fried pork and jerk chicken. Both meats were super dry. Maybe that’s not their speciality, but I’ve had better jerk chicken in NH lol.

If I had a reason to move here, this restaurant would be it. The cuisine at the island restaurant was mine blowing. The atmosphere was authentic and welcoming. The gentleman that served us was knowledgeable about the products and even willing to make adjustments for us. I was overwhelmed with robust flavors, flawless textures, amazing smells, and a feeling of family here at the island restaurant if you have a moment take the time it’s worth it.

...and the prices were absolutely insane. I probably should’ve gotten about 10 meals to go. 😂

Turnt into a nightclub when I visited. The vibe was up there. They have Fritay (Haitian Fried finger foods) for sale at the bar. The restroom could use some work. Door doesn't lock properly. It's a small venue with big crowd energy.

This is a very nice spot. If you are looking vor a great date night you can either buy food and eat in but staying at the location is a real sexy vibe. I found it to be more men then women and a mix of different ages. I took food home and was not disappointed. If you are looking for a nice lounge with food this is the spot.

I have been here a few times and the food is amazing! Workers are nice! However, the service is unacceptable. Please get some more help. It took 1 hour to be tended to and place my order, another 1.5 hours to get my entire order, and then 30 minutes to get the bill.
