Dining at Saveur Creole is an experience that goes far beyond just enjoying a meal—it’s a warm embrace of Haitian culture, hospitality, and flavor. From the moment you walk through the door, the staff greet you with genuine kindness and professionalism, setting the tone for an evening that feels both welcoming and special. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between elegant and vibrant, beautifully reflecting the spirit of Haiti. Every dish at Saveur Creole tells a story. The flavors are rich, authentic, and full of heart—from the perfectly seasoned griot to the aromatic diri ak djon djon. You can taste the passion and tradition in every bite, a true celebration of Haitian culinary artistry. When it comes to price, the value offered here is exceptional. Those who focus solely on cost may overlook the care, quality, and cultural authenticity that define this restaurant. Saveur Creole delivers far more than just food—it offers a thoughtfully crafted experience that honors heritage, craftsmanship, and community. For anyone seeking an authentic taste of Haiti paired with outstanding service and atmosphere, Saveur Creole is a must-visit. It’s a rare gem that captures the heart and soul of Haitian cuisine, and one I’ll be returning to again and again.

The food here was delicious. I see some reviews complaining about the service. I personally didn't have a problem. A part of the reason why I'm giving this restaurant five stars is based on all the responses the owner gives to the bad reviews. They're hysterical and freaking awesome! Keep going my man, don't let them hold you down! ?

I had sticker shock the last time I was there but looking at the menu online, seems perhaps they lowered their prices a little to their credit. The food was good otherwise. The smoked herring and tostones and the leguime was pretty good.

On the 10th of September, I purchase the Creole Chicken & Shrimp to go, and it was NOT Good..the sauce was watery, no flavor, ( it was suppose to be spicy)the Shrimp were way Overcooked, and when I called to let Ron( mgmt.) know how disappointing the meal was, he was nonchalant. The lady who took my order was very polite and professional as a hostess explaining about the flavor of the meal that I ordered..This was my first experience eating their food, and will be my last! Ron is a poor excuse as a manager, he totally blew me off! I would not recommend eating at this establishment, not on a weekday, maybe the weekend is better ?

Good food- I really liked the “Haitian Caviar” appetizer. But for the price I expected a bit more. Also, I dislike the weird receipt format that includes automatic gratuity in the subtotal but then has two more sections on the receipt for “tip” and “additional tip”.

The bad reviews about the service are accurate. The food is delicious but my God the service is terrible. The waitress was kind but she was seemingly the only other person there and she might have also been the one cooking the food because she was gone for long periods of time. The service really takes away from the experience. Every time we come here the topic of conversation at the table is how terrible the service is. I wish they would hire more staff so that this restaurant can be the high end experience it’s trying to be. Right now the food tastes like really good food from one of best hole in the wall Haitian Restaurants in NYC wirh the aunties in the back and typical bad customer service …the only difference is that this restaurant looks nice and the food is more expensive. I love good Haitian food (and this is definitely that) but I also have to give myself a little Pep talk before I come here so that I don’t leave pissed. Bottom line is the food is good but you will not be catered to like you would at any other restaurant at a similar price point. I wish it were different. Hopefully the reviews will encourage the owner to make some changes. I want them to win.
I went on date with my partner here. We are both people of color. It was clear to us that the owner and his staff (who are also people of color) are only attentive to the white patrons. Thus, your experience will largely hinge on the color of your skin. If you are white, you will likely have an excellent time as the owner and his staff will go out of their way to ensure you have a great experience, even providing you alcohol despite being a BYOB establishment (we witnessed). If you are a person of color, however, do not come. You will be made to feel as if you are an afterthought.

Our family visited SC recently, from the beginning, it was not welcoming, floor had water and dirty table clothes.
As we approached the entrance we thought they were not opened yet. A gentleman came and looked confused, went to grab a lady, it was heard in the background saying “ we are too busy to bring people in now”.
We waited a little bit since we drove from NYC to enjoy a wonderful Haitian cuisine.
That same lady came forward and added that they are too busy to host us now, she is going to check if the kitchen will be able to even cook for us. ( like they were doing us a huge favor).
We asked to talk to the manager/owner, same lady said he was busy and not present to talk to us. We noticed that same lady talking to other customers unprofessionally. This is unacceptable in this day and age.
The manager was actually in the front entertainment other guests. We knew who the manager was. Not suee why she said he was not there.
We thought that was enough of some bad treatment we decided to start driving back, all of a sudden, the manager walked to our vehicle to asked what had happened. After we explained to him, he begged us to come back in, we eventually did.
Even after all, the food was very pricy, and very small portions, service was not good at all for the price.
We hope the management learned from this review to make the necessary changes to better serve the community and its customers.
