Music was bussin. I have no bad words to say about this restaurant, and I will 100% come back soon.
Easily one of the best restaurants in Little Haiti, if not THE best restaurant in Little Haiti.

The restaurant was extremely welcoming, and the service was great.
I especially liked the herring shitay appetizer.
The rice bowl with chicken was quite good as well.
I also tasted the stewed goat, which was also excellent.

Not impressed with the furniture and layout of the restaurant.
Pleasing to my eyes were artwork that adorned the walls which speaks to the Haitian struggle and culture.
We sat at bar and was warmly welcomed by bartender Romeo.
Not happy that I had to wait until brunch ended to order Soup Joumou.
In my humble opinion, soup should be available all day and everyday.
Kudos to the chef for accommodating my request by adding goat meat to my soup Joumou.
The goat meat needed to be more tender; other than the soup was flavorful.
We also tried the crab cakes which were totally delicious.
The menu appeals to me and will definitely be back for dinner.
If you can hold a note, go there on Wednesday night for Karaoke.
