After months of following Patois on instagram.. I was dying to try this place. I've popped in twice when I was in the area, and the wait list has always been over and hour. Finally, I decided to make a reservation to check this off my "Must Try" list.
I must say the staff here is amazing. Super friendly, personable.. not the fake type of nice. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and was always close by when needed. The vibe is right, lively music and just the right amount of lighting. The only thing I didn't like was how crowded the seating was. But the place itself is pretty small, so it was understandable.
Now the food, was very tasty. Jerk chicken was fall off the bone juicy. The scotch bonnet mayo-ish sauce complimented it well.. especially since I love my jerk with creamy slaw. The OG fried chicken was my favourite. The skin was crisp but the meat inside was still juicy. It came with a sweet sriracha sauce which was my absolute favourite. If they sold it in bottles, I would be first in line to buy it. The dutty fried rice was okay.. nothing special. The Jamaican coleslaw was very bland. It was more watery than creamy.. and not worth the 6$. The portion sizes for everything were very small. Expect to spend 100$ between two people to be full.. not including drinks. For drinks, we ordered the gimlet and the rum punch and both were 5/5 outstanding.
Overall i give them 4.5/5. I will be definitely coming back here. But dont come here starving and avoid coming without a reservation.
