Located at Spring st, it's hardly 15-20 walk from Christopher st path & MTA station, and close enough to Canal st MTA station. I was attending the Yelp elite event and it's my first one!
Initially I walked past the restaurant without realizing the restaurant, hope they put up a sign or something to make people aware about their presence. As I entered, the vibe seemed cool enough and the ambiance gives you a typical Haiti feel.
The staff is pretty friendly over here and when asked about the idea behind the restaurant, the bartender did explain to me about the cultural closeness of Haiti with New Orleans and hence the fusion food they serve. Also, currently they are experimenting with the menu and will soon finalize their menu
Coming to food, I first grabbed a rum punch and it was awesome with a perfect blend of rum and juices. For appetizers, I chose corn bread which came with a hot honey sauce. The corn bread was good while the sauce had a bit of a kick! This was followed by fried chicken with fries on the side as an entree. Not sure why but the fried chicken turned cold soon after it was served, wonder if it was heated in a microwave? I hope they do better. The fries though were drained off the oil was lacking the required crisp which makes it fun to have!
Overall, a decent experience with Creole cuisine and I can look forward to visiting this place again and try out more!
