What People Are Saying
from Google"It's very warm temperature wise inside. The calamari was good. They are cut thick like onion rings. Crispy outside. The hookah does not have an adjustable air valve, but it smoked well. The music is loud, but you can still have a conversation. They played Haitian music."
"The establishment is truly beautiful, the cuisine was excellent, and the service was commendable. The music selection was enjoyable, and everyone appeared to be having a wonderful time. I certainly plan to return on Saturday, as I understand it is an ideal evening for meeting new people and enjoying good music."
"One of my favorite Haitian spots around! The ambiance for a good date night, even just on a weekday. I’ve celebrated multiple birthdays throughout the years as well and the hosts always know how to light en up mood. The food of course is always the main event, and their cuisine is authentically made. We buy their soup joumou during the holidays if we’re running low on time. Would recommend."
"Wonderful ambiance. Delicious food. It was a little expensive, but well worth the money. It's a great spot to eat, drink, and dance. Highly recommended!!!"
"I really wanted to like this establishment because it was featured on the local news station . Unfortunately it fell short . The people who work their are cold and uninviting. I really wanted to try the griot and red snapper but the demeanor of those who were going to serve me , turned me completely off. My bestie and I ordered, lemon drop martinis. The lemon drop martini was undesirable to the pallet. After finishing our cocktails , we exited the establishment. We found ourselves at another restaurant within walking distance, that as soon as we walked through the doors we were welcomed , the food and drinks were very good . First Republic do better with customer service!"
