The atmosphere, service, and food is amazing! I came during their Mother’s Day event but they consistently have great guest performers. Their food is out of this world, it reminds me of Haiti with how authentic and tasty it is. Their service is amazing and their pricing is just a good. I can’t rave about this club enough, you have to be here to enjoy it completely.

Honey, I went on Google to search Haitian / Caribbean restaurant near me and this??? This is a spot beyond my wildest dreams. First of all the service is impeccable, all the owners greet you, care for you, and show you love. Second of all the food is AUTHENTIC, so good and every bite is made with sheer passion. Listen, these people want to please your tastebuds. You can say Riverdale never gave you nothing. I stand on this, you won’t regret pulling up here.
