    Our first time visit in date night on a recommendation by a friend. The owner Ron and his sister were very gracious and hospitable hosts and helped us make choices from the menu. The vibe and ambiance was very nice. It is a BYOB which we enjoyed a nice bottle of cab along with the Haitian Caviar, Mambo Gumbo Soup, and Surf Haitiana Legume Casserole. The meal was flavorful and tasty! We had a pleasant and positive experience and we will return and enjoy dining here again in the future.

    Where do I start?? I love Creole food and all the items we ordered were delicious, so no complaints there. Ambience was also pretty good, kind of in between fine dining and family friendly. Unfortunately, I cannot give 5 Stars simply because we had a really bad experience w.r.t. upselling by our Waitress. We all expect the staff to upsell but it should not be done in an underhanded manner. Our visit was almost a year back (just catching up on some of my pending reviews). We were never given an option of Tap or Bottled water, and the waitress just filled our glasses whenever we asked for water, but she failed to mention it was Bottled water ($5 per Bottle). She also asked us if we would like Regular or Black Rice, to be served with our Entrées, but didn't mention that it was additional cost ($15). We were in for a rude surprise when we got the cheque since it was at least $100 more than what we expected. Manager/Owner did eventually take it off the final cheque but it took some lengthy discussion. This might be an one-off scenario, and hope other patrons didn't experience this.

    Oh this place is fantastic! It was our first time trying Haitian Creole cuisine and it was amazing. We started off with the empanadas I got Etouffee and my husband got the lamb Food and service was excellent and the decor is fantastic

    I've had the chance to enjoy the food and ambiance of Saveur Creole three times now and it just gets better and better. He'd Ron and his team prepare tasty food and provide exceptional service every time. My most recent was a 100-person group and Chef and his team delivered exceptionally! I will keep this restaurant in my normal rotation for date nights and family outings, for sure!

    Good food! The owner Ron was very personable & made sure we were taken care of. A miscommunication between us & the server was addressed by Ron asap. The place was an authentic Haitian restaurant. The price was fair.

    Y'all, these pics ain't it but I promise you the food was! Saveur Créole is a cute little spot that gives a modern take on classic Haitian cuisine. Everything was DELICIOUS, someone link me with the chef because my goodness! The legume appetizer: delicious! Spinach over tostones. Add that pikliz (a pickled Haitian cabbage & pepper slaw) on those babies to take it up a notch. The Bouillon Créole soup: delicious! Veggies with potatoes and dumplings. The broth's flavor reminded me of home! The Griot Mi Casa entree: delicious! Shredded fried pork with pikliz, this savory bomb ass gravy, plantain, and my fave: djon djon (black mushroom) rice! When I say FLAVOR! Y'all... Run, don't walk, to Saveur Creole in Montclair! The food's a teeny bit pricey but hey--it's BYOB. We love to see it!

    If you are serious about food this is a must visit. We've eaten at every trendy place in Montclair. This has more flavor than all of them put together. It's obvious that the management takes pride in what they serve. The produce is farm fresh, varies daily. The room is elegant. You can have a relaxed conversation without screaming. The service is deferential. Of all the places we've dined in NJ I'd rate this behind only Cafe Matisse . The bill was $95 for two with tip rather than $280. Be aware that an 18% gratuity is automatically included in the tab.

    Is this restaurants vegetarian dishes vegan friendly?

    They have vegetarian options but I don't think it's vegan. You can check with the restaurant. Most of their dishes are Haitian based. It's delicious.

    We are planning to open for Lunch next month. $12 Lunch menu. What is your opinion?

    Sounds great. Just remember that most people need to get in and out quickly at lunch time.

    Food: The food was okay overall. It was good at first, but my experience changed when I noticed a…read moredead roach on the wall. Service: The service was disappointing. When I walked in, my order was not taken right away, and someone who came in after me had their order taken first. It seemed like preference was given, which didn't feel fair or welcoming. Ambience: The ambience was fine initially, but seeing a dead roach on the wall--and noticing that it was not cleaned up after being killed--was very off-putting and negatively affected the experience.

    During my visit, I experience good customer service; an employee is kind. For the most part, I opt…read morefor Vegan options, though go for a tasty high protein bite due to not packing a lunch. The Jerk Chicken is good; the flavor of the seasoning is very present on the skin of the meat, though the order doesn't come with sauce on the side (like I request over the phone) in the bag. The inner portion of the meat is tender though not as juicy as the bone, marrow (which is full plenty with a very very subtle flavor), or skin (which is of a drier spice variety). So, I think having the sauce might add way more to the flavor dynamics of the meatier portion of the meal than its other parts. The Beef Patty is decent; the crust carries a flavor of a brothy-vegetable seasoning flavoring (which may be coming away from the meat) well though the Beef Patty (after the Jerk Chicken) offers a subtle flavor and seems more crust than patty. The establishment has seating for about two and a bit of standing room. The eatery accepts different forms of payment.
