a piece of meat and vegetables

I purchased the Greyo complete. The rice tasted burnt, not sure why would they sale bad food to customers. The pork was tough and salty. The food smelled old and was really greasy. I understand fried pork should be greasy, but why is the rice so greasy. Sometimes the food is good, and sometimes the food is horrible. Purchase at your own risk. They always have a new cook, reason why the food is not good anymore.

This restaurant is very very quaint. Has two tables and small bar. I have eaten here before so I know that the food is absolutely tasty. Today I was told that the wait would be 30 minutes . My stomach spent like a Spin Cycle and I was super hungry so I could not wait. I am headed now to H&R grill hopefully the service will be great and the food will be plentiful. At times they seem to give you very small portions wish me luck my fellow Yelpers . I gave this review 3 because I've had great experiences before with these guys and even though the wait time at 30 minutes was such an inconvenience to me this place has super potential.

This restaurant is the worst!!! By far the worst moral ever! They truly don't believe in serving you more meat than their budget can handle! Sad situation, and the lemonade is just as nasty, they added vanilla extract to it...ewww!!!

I was really happy to find this spot. I've been familiar with Haitian cuisine for many years, so…read moreI'm always excited when I come across a place serving good, authentic Haitian food. The grill tasted very fresh and flavorful. They also serve a gravy on the side which was surprisingly good -- and that's saying a lot because I'm usually not much of a gravy person. The pikliz was tasty; my only complaint is that I would have liked a little more of it, although that may have just been something I should have checked before leaving. The rice was excellent. It had a really nice flavor with a slightly peppery finish and honestly stood out as some of the better rice I've had at a Haitian restaurant. They also offer a house tea that goes along with the name Choublak (which the owner Marcus mentioned means hibiscus). The tea contains sorrel and is definitely worth trying if you visit. Another thing I appreciated was seeing a hands-on owner. Marcus is both the owner and the chef, and it shows in the attention to the food and the way he interacts with customers. Overall, if you're looking to try Haitian food, this is a great spot to check out. They have a small sit-down area and offer lunch specials Wednesday through Friday, which is a good opportunity to stop by and try the menu.

I honestly have no idea what is going on here, but this experience was extremely concerning…read more I ordered from a restaurant listed on Uber Eats as "Taco Namas #1." I specifically ordered the pulled pork ultimate taco bowl salad, and what arrived looked nothing like the photo or description on Uber Eats. It did not appear to be pulled pork, and the rice, beans, and corn listed in the description were completely missing. What I received was basically chunks of pork with lettuce, tomato, and onions. What concerns me even more is what I discovered afterward. I checked the address listed for "Taco Namas #1" on Uber Eats to see where the restaurant was located, and the address brought me to this restaurant. I then searched for Taco Namas #1 independently and could not find any restaurant by that name on Google, Yelp, or anywhere else I searched. So I would genuinely like an explanation: Who exactly is Taco Namas #1, and why is an Uber Eats restaurant operating under that name using this restaurant's address? Between receiving food that did not match what I ordered and then discovering the confusion surrounding the restaurant name and address, I am extremely dissatisfied and concerned about this experience.

Finally I found a Haitian restaurant that have beautiful plating and amazing food…read more Food Every dishes that I had was simply delicious, you could tell the food was made it love. Griot was tender and flavorful Fish was well seasoned with the right amount of acidity Fried Goat was a hit Fried Plantain was super good Location Situated in a small plaza, it's a easy place to find. Big amount of parking space. Restaurant is pretty clean. They do hAve a variety of tables and chairs where you can eat your food. Customer service The whole staff were cordial, they didn't rush me while I was reading the menu. Food came pretty fast. Overall the whole experience was good and if craving haitian food that's the place to go.

Ordered from DoorDash. The legume dinner was advertised to come with macaroni sad, 3 fried…read moreplantains, white rice and beans. My legume dinner was missing the macaroni salad and came with rice and peas and only 2 plaintains. Which isn't a huge deal but I would've liked if it came as advertised on the door dash website. The rice and peas were RRALLY good though, flavorful and fluffy. The legume was just OK, not much flavor to me and a big oily. I would like to try their other dishes though and give them a second chance.

Le Bistro 2.0 - Griot complete; lots of bones and dried out meat for $34 dollar plate! Rice was ok, but bland in flavor. Best part tostones and pasta salad.

Le Bistro 2.0 - DO NOT ORDER THE MACARONI AU GRATIN! The cheese sauce and cheese melted on top tasted very sour, and made my stomach feel queasy afterward.

Arriving in Florida, I sought out delicious Haitian cuisine and had a craving for griot (fried…read morepork). Pearls of the Island Caribbean exceeded my expectations. Upon entering, I noticed the space was immaculately clean and vibrant. The cashier warmly welcomed me as I placed my order. Arriving during their lunch hours, I enjoyed the griot lunch special, complete with black rice, fried plantain, and a drink, all for under $12. My cousin told me their Mac and cheese was delicious, so I also placed a side order. The Mac and cheese were worth the wait. My overall meal left me full and happy! Glad to have found this place and will definitely keep it on my list of places to eat when visiting Florida.

I haven't had a lot of Haitian food before, so I wanted to give Pearl of the Island a shot as I…read moreheard it was good. The ambiance is that of a fast casual restaurant with and order counter and tables lining the outer perimeter of the restaurant. There are TVs playing as well. The service wasn't particularly friendly, the two ladies up front seemed more interested in chatting than helping me with the menu. The lunch special came with a soda but they do not offer diet soda and they will not substitute bottled water. I walked in for pickup, and the two lunches probably took 15-20 minutes to be prepared. My husband got the griot, which was flavorful but dry. I got the stewed chicken which was slightly overcooked and underseasoned. I did enjoy the fried smashed plantains, but the rice and beans tasted weirdly ashy? We barely touched those. The pikliz was only ok. Overall, I would not return as I was disappointed.
