My husband and I absolutely loved it. The food was so so good. We had the oxtail nachos and the Akra for appetizers. The pikliz (their spicy Haitian relish) was absolutely amazing, so amazing we bought a jar of it to take home to Las Vegas. We also ordered the Joumou gnocchi and shrimp creole. Both dishes were delicious! Unfortunately they sold out on their desserts but the chef made us a special dessert drink made of coconut milk, condensed milk and rum. I don’t even drink and I loved it. Another highlight was the chef/owner himself, who was as delightful as can be. He went from table to table and chatted with the customers. He’s incredibly charming and talented. We can’t wait to go back when we visit New Orleans again.
