3 /5 Linda Lisa Pierre: I had a 5pm dinner reservation. We arrived on time , we stood and waited about 15 minutes until I went over to two employees who are going over a bill with a customer. The young lady that was working the bar, said something pretty rude and went back to the bar. The music was to loud I couldn’t make out what was said. She had short blond curly hair. Wondering if I didn’t take the initiative to go to them how long would they have left us standing there.
Then when the other worker was done assisting the previous guest, he seemed annoyed and or frustrated and told me brunch is about over. I told him I was not there for brunch that we had dinner reservations. He then escorted us to our table and shortly after our waitress came. She was very pleasant, friendly and helpful, she mentioned she just came back to work there.
The overall restaurant was nice the DJ was great enjoyed the music he played everything not just Haitian music, the music was really loud though, causing us not hear each other. The food was good, a little disappointed that the menu was limited we couldn’t order conch or lobster. Maybe that worked out in my favor. I ended up with jerk chicken plantains and peas and rice with a Mimi Punch my bill was $47.00 not including tip. I can’t even imagine how much the conch that I wanted would’ve been. Another thing they need to update the menus, QR code didn’t even work. I asked how much the Snapper was and was told small one started at $35 so imagine the conch and lobster.
It’s really cute inside the aesthetics are there as well.
I hate to do this to Black Own Restaurant in February, but I have to tell the truth! I hope that they are reading this and will address some areas in this business.
Would like to revisit and have a better experience.
