I wanted to give this establishment 5 stars so bad but I really couldn't find it in my heart to do so. I was pregnant and searching for a location for my baby shower. When a friend of mine initially told me about this restaurant, I was ecstatic! I am Haitian American born on Long Island. It is a struggle to find really good Haitian food without travelling all the way to Queens or Brooklyn. I thought it was a great idea to incorporate my culture with this baby shower. I went to check out the place with my mother. I met Leslie the owner who was really nice. We signed the contract immediately. He was very accommodating even when I had to switch the date of the shower for religious reasons. My mother and I dined there on a separate occasion just to taste the food and get a feel of the ambiance on a Friday night. We loved it. The food was cooked well and we were full! The waitress was real sweet and everything. So now the day of the shower is here and I am so excited! For starters, Leslie stated that he had a projector that he often lets his clients use to do slideshows. What a great feature I thought. So I had a great family friend of mine make a slideshow for our shower. I was getting calls on my way to the shower that there was no projector and that they did not know we would use one as it was "stated on the contract". He offered lighting that when my mother and I did the initial walk through. He said he turns on the switch and it gives guests a nice ambiance. When I got there, I asked Leslie's brother if he can turn on the lights and he told me that he does not know how to do that and that his brother is the only one with the controls and that the lights were not stated on the contract. Apparently Leslie was not there and would be there much later. Why are you offering services and then not coming through with what you promised us. When Leslie arrived I was thankful because he was this nice man that walked us around and made us feel like his restaurant was home. His demeanor was cold. He came with the projector so I did not care how he felt at that time. Especially because I am at this point 37 weeks pregnant and would like to sit and enjoy my shower. People were now approaching me saying the waiters were very rude to them when they ask for basic services such as pitchers of water to their table. Don't get me started on what happened when the food arrived! They had a ton of food. I paid good money for this event. I expected my guest to have a great time as my mother and I did when we came to dine there. They were so CHEAP with the servings. They were literally serving adults toddler sized portions. The spoons weren't even full. They were literally dropping like 3 pastas on a plate and 1 pork shoulder (Griot) on each plate. When people were asking for more you would have thought you were asking them to sacrifice their first born son. I was embarassed as I had guest that were not Haitian there and that was not a good representation of how we do things! My mother was appalled. She is a woman that cooks very well. Although the food was still really good the servings they gave people were as if they were rationing food. We are not in war times and we are not currently under a communistic regime. Fill my plate! I work very hard and I expected my money's worth. My mother overheard one of the workers bad mouthing the owner and saying that they want the restaurant to go under so they are purposely unprofessional and cheap with the food. If that is truly the case, I feel bad for the owner because his employees were truly unprofessional and down right disgusting. They had the nastiest attitudes and would often ignore the request of my guests. Had I not been overly pregnant and needing to sit, I would have definitely gotten up to say something. I should not have to feel this way about one of the happiest times of my life. If you dont believe me, pay for a catered event there and then reply back to this message when they treat you like you are nothing. I won't give up on my Haitian people and will find another establishment.
