The workers were also friendly and helpful. It was my first time in St. Louis and at the Foundry, and it was my only ordered meal in the city (short trip). So glad it was this satisfying. My only "complaint" is that small bones hide a bit in the food, but just be careful while eating and you're fine.

Made a quick stop at Chez Ali and ordered the chicken sampler, and it was pretty much exactly what…read morewe were hoping for. The jerk chicken had real heat and a smoky flavor without being overpowering, while the curry chicken was rich and well-spiced. Both were very tender and clearly well cooked. The rice and beans were hearty and flavorful, not an afterthought. City Foundry has no shortage of options, but Chez Ali stands out if you're craving bold flavors done right.

But it's all good and we all smile through. Took my brother Sunday night while he was in town cause he lives in a less diverse area and craves city access to all the thing. As soon as he said let's get Jamaican I began craving a meat pie. Have mercy I love them! They ain't playing with the spice either so I keep drinks handy. Ended up ordering one meat pie and a bowl of the soup of the day. It was red bean soup he said. But wow the depth of flavors and textures, it should get a better name! Love it and happily ate it all! The meat pie took longer of course to come out and they weren't kidding it was hot! Loved it and shared a tiny bite (cut off) with bro whose eyebrows lifted in joy. He had the jerk chicken plate and ate every dang bit! I have had wings, goat curry, jerk chicken, curry chicken, rum punch and lots more on other visits and had always left happy & full. The folks who work here are good folks and enjoy seeing others enjoy the food they prepare. On nice days there are a few tables out front, good to sit there except at rush hour cause you are next to the street. They do a lot of to go service so you will see a steady stream of folks in and out.

I felt like a bull in a China shop trying to come down Bowen to park on Michigan since that is how my GPS directed me to this place. I wasn't sure that they were open at first as when I opened the door, I felt like they were not ready to serve customers as they looked at me with a puzzled look at first. lol I literally came here to try Jamaican Sorrel since I had plan on making some for a best friend's wedding next month and wanted to try some authentic Jamaican Sorrel to make sure I was aligned with how it SHOULD taste. They had some on hand but unfortunately were only taking cash or CashApp that day. I do not carry cash, but thankfully had a CashApp to pay for my drink which was almost $9. I would have been so mad that I made that trek over there with no cash or CashApp to pay for the one thing I needed that day. I will have to come back and try their food some other time. It smelled really good!

I read all the negative reviews on this place, and braced myself for the worst. Happy to say I do…read morenot agree with the nay sayers. We ordered at the counter and were greeted by a gentleman who explained the process and promptly brought our drinks to the table. One of the kitchen staff brought all our items and told us what everything was. The food was great. Some items had amazing flavor, and other items were bland by design. Loved the laid back Caribbean vibe. We will go back. For the Owner... did not see coffee on the menu. If you have Cuban Coffee I would swing by a couple times a week. Great Place, Highly recommend.

It's in a strip mall and they offer valet parking $10, I was able to self park without any issues finding parking - but I heard it can be super busy. Very cute place. They have a couple spots for photo opps, bar area and several tv's for catching a game etc. Our server was very friendly and helpful. The catfish and grits were so delicious! The flavor was amazing. My cousins had the lamb chops - omg they were so delicious- the seasoning was incredible! The whole place has such a great vibe - they had some music playing which can be a little loud. I recommend going to check out Bliss and enjoying a fabulous meal.

I came Sunday for brunch and it appears the menus are different. What you see online is different than what they offer as far as the drinks. No bottomless mimosas, just a tower for $70. The service was very slow and I was upset that it took forever to receive a mimosa tower. Over 40 minutes. We canceled and ordered different drinks. So frustrating that I won't go too deep into it. The food was so good. I'd return because of the food and ambiance. The DJ was on point. We also had a large party so maybe next time, I'll come with a group of 4 or less. They charge gratuity no matter what. I still gave a little more but whatever. I hope the serve will be better next time cause everything else was fire.

The environment is a casual, hole-in-the-wall place that will make you fall in love with Haitian food. The staff is super kind and provides great service to all who enter their restaurant.

I was a little sad that they didn't have any pickles the day that I was there. However, the food was delicious and the other items on my plate were very fulfilling. I also bought a few patties to take home with me as well. Can't wait to try other items on the menu. The service was good and everybody was very friendly. The inside of the shop is cool cause it has Haitian decor. They do not have a parking lot, but there is free street parking. Depending upon the day, you may have to park away away and walk to it.

Pros: large portion, excellent flavor, delicious rum punch…read moreCons: EXTREMELY slow service. It took my party an hour to be seated and another hour to receive food. We ordered as soon as we sat down. The restaurant was also out of 70% of food items on the menu. The place is only open for 5 hours so I was confused on why there isn't enough food to last 5 hours of service. The problem is, they don't have enough employees to run the kitchen, carry out, bar, and dine in. The flavor is in the food but I will not visit again.
