| - The reason why I tried this place is because a friend of mine recommended it to me.
We were a group of 5 and luckily, we got a table right away.
Service: The service and staff was awesome! Our server was very attentive (I don't remember her name because it was quite loud). I also spilled water on the table and someone went to our table and cleaned it right away, plus giving me a fresh glass of water. Our server knew the menu items and described all the dishes in a professional yet mouthwatering way!
Atmosphere/Location: It's a hidden gem. It is right beside black hoof. The atmosphere was very dark with candle lights but very festive.
Price: I would say the alcohol was pretty expensive. We ordered a pina colada ($8), mojito ($10), Monster ($23, drink for 2)
Food: OH BOY, IT WAS DELICIOUS!! Normally, I'm a type of person that only eats basic protein. My friend recommended these dishes:
*** ALL mains come with banana frites:
- Pork Ribs: comes with 3 pieces, rice and banana frites, very tender, decent portion
- Ox Tail and Bean Sauce: Can't describe it other than it's super delicious!
- Legumes with Goat: A lot of bones but hey the sauce that comes with it is absolutely yummy!
- Whole Fried Fish: huge portion!! We finished it all. Very crispy and cooked perfectly. Seasoned well and I love the onions on top. They don't overpower the dish.
- Griot (Street Style): Good starter and decent portion as well
Dessert: There is only one option but we ordered the rum cake. The cake was really moist and there is a compote on top to add sweetness and create balance in the dish.
Overall, I am a happy customer. It's not something that I would eat everyday but I find their dishes very hearty and more of comfort food. Will definitely come back!
Oh and for 5 people who ordered an alcoholic beverage, our total was roughly 175+ but we paid $40 each person including tip.
