I've never eaten Hatian or Carribean food until now, but it seems Margo's was a great place to start. We came for a late dinner on Thursday, and everything we tried was delicious, which included a calamari appetizer, fried goat, vegetable stew (contains some meat), spicy coleslaw (picklee), fried plantains, an ample serving of "diri ak pwa" (haitian style rice/bean side), and a green salad. Everything was so good, but we really fell in love with the picklee and fried goat. So much so, that we return the following week for a repeat. They must have been out of calamari, so the substituted with some tasty fried scallops. Margo's also has a full bar with cocktails, wine and beer. And around 9pm, the place turns into a nightclub (at least on Thu), and they feature entertainment by local jazz guitarist Wilson Pierre and his friends. I'm not sure of the details of Wilson's musical background but he is definitely talented and well versed in jazz and classical guitar. He performed many jazz standards, some incredibly fast riffs by Al Demiola, and a even a few Carribean jazz adaptations like the Ritenour/Grusin version of Bob Marley's, "Get Up, Stand Up". If you love good food and smooth jazz, you need to visit Margo's this Thursday for a real treat. Well definetly be there.
P.S. The only other review on Yelp right now attempted to trash this place over 1 visit just shortly after Margo's opening more than a year ago, with no updates. And even though their review mentions several positives for the restaurant, they then overall assess only a single star. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Think about it - does that make sense? I looked at the majority of this Yelper's other reviews - not surprisingly, most are 1 star. Just saying. read more
