    Real authentic Haitian food. Ask for the special lambi en sauce. It's not listed on the menu but the chef will prepare upon request. It's spicy goodness. The ginger mint sangria was also good.

    Great Food ... Nice Service ... Very pleasant chef who literally comes and checks to see if you are enjoying your food! Visit "Cynthia" @ the bar she's as sweet as she is pretty!

    The food and presentation was great. The Poulet en Sause is a nicely marinated breast and leg in creole gravy. La Caye Boulet Sliders with cod fish are full of flavor, maybe salty to some palettes.

    Nice and cozy with friendly service. Grilled conch is delicious. Salads could be more inventive and robust. The Riesling hits the spot...yummy!!

    You have to have the conch la caye. It's so good especially with the black rice.

    Amazing mojitos, try the passion fruit one. They don't overpower the classic taste of the drink with too much fruit flavor...nicely done.

    The peach green tea sangria and the ginger mint sangria are both quite yummy. Make sure you get the black rice as the side with your entree. Yum.

    The B I saw on that window threw me off a bit-I'm big on those health inspection visits. But sometimes they might get caught on the little things. Hopefully they get an "A" when I do decide to be back

    The garden is basic: metal tables with red umbrellas inside a stockade fence. But that’s its charm. At twilight, broiled conch with Creole sauce and black rice brings Caribbean warmth. Read more

    Peach green tea sangria. Tassot fritay. I've gotten lucky with the chicken and conch. Slow service.

    We had to wait for about an hour for our food to come out. The griot was great but the plantains and akras a little too fried. The piklis were also not spicy at all which is unusual.

    They play Maxwell here. Solid choice for a pre or post BAM outing. Also, the sliders are pretty solid.

    Very average meal and almost an hour to come out. Disappointing as had high hopes. Could have just been an off night...
