Great atmosphere, great music, under staffed not really ready for large parties... Food was late, some people didn't even get their orders, pipe leaked. But the Dj was very entertaining.

This place was fantastic! The food and music were both excellent, and the Fritay platter was definitely the highlight of the menu. The only downside was the lack of parking. I had to park on a nearby street and walk to the restaurant in heels, which wasn't ideal.

The food was cold .. it didn’t have any taste I had more gravy than food the rice was cold and not cooked through. I ordered over $100 worth of food. I should have left when I had to wait over 20 mins to ordered. Only thing is nice is the atmosphere but it’s very tight in there I’m sorry it didn’t give Haitian cuisine AT ALL. I would need recommended I gave my food to the squirrels in the morning
