*******Restaurant review********
++
– Atmosphere; This place was completely empty on a Thursday night, it was anice hip/loungey atmosphere
– Music; Haitian music was nice
– Bartender; she was hard working and personalized our drinks (I guess she had no other choice, we were the only two people in there)
+
– Food; we shared tassot and fritay, Im not expert on Haitian food, but my wife sez it was up to par with some of the best in Brooklyn

My first encounter with this place was on a Saturday night where they were charging $15 just to walk in. We just walked away.
The second time we just swing by and hang on a weeknight. The waitress at the bar was very friendly and made us some good concoctions. The kitchen was still open and we shared a plate of tassot (fried goat). The meat was really well cooked, melt in your mouth good. Plantains were good, not given plenty enough for a $18 dish.
Warming up to this place.
So I have been to this location twice now at the insistence of a friend and both times I was underwhelmed. Maybe it is just me but when I go to a lounge I like to see other people lounging and drinking. Going a place that's not poppin' doesn't lend to a good time. Well I can say that I went twice and both times I was underwhelmed. Maybe with time this spot will attract a crowd. Drinks were fine.
