Griot Gardens

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This place was absolutely delicious! Everything was clean, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the food was AMAZING. But what really took the cake for me was the staff. It’s a mom, daughter, and son business, and you can truly feel the love and care in everything they do. The whole place felt cozy and like home. Real food made with love. The staff interaction was incredible — very warm, welcoming, and inviting. I took my husband here for his birthday and it was the perfect choice. They were so kind to come out, sing happy birthday, and even gave him a DELICIOUS slice of cake. Very sweet family, very delicious food, very clean space, and a beautiful atmosphere. The wait for the food is totally reasonable since everything is cooked fresh, hot, and with love. We will definitely be back and I’ll be telling all my friends about this restaurant. 1000/100

I have never had Haitian food before. WOW, my friend and I were blown away! So flavorful and masterfully cooked with just the right amount and balance of spices. I had the Griot (seasoned fried pork), red beans and rice, and fried plantains. The spices on the pork made this one of the best pork dishes I have ever had! My friend raved about her "Jerk it Right" dish - mushrooms, peppers, onions, white rice, black beans and plantains. We were happy - huge portions of amazing food, polite waitress, beautiful decor, fun music and ample parking. We were happy UNTIL we got our bill. "Huh?!?" I thought. "Total seems much more than I figured in my head." Then I looked at the itemized bill. $2.00 for a glass of tap water?!? And that's $2 PER GLASS. No free refills on water. I told the waitress I should have ordered an iced tea instead, and taken more than just 2 sips of my second glass. No wonder she didn't ask us if we wanted more water. To add insult to injury, there was a 4% credit card surcharge! We were going to tell all our friends and family to eat here, but the hidden charges made us feel deceived. We should have been told about the $2.00 water charge (per glass) and credit card surcharge ahead of time so we could have decided for ourselves if we wanted to pay more for another drink and payed by cash instead. We don't mind paying for delicious food, but we do mind being deceived. Come here for AMAZING food. Just be aware of hidden charges.

Love the interior design! The floor is so fun to look at. The food is even better! Thank you for hosting us! The hospitality is outstanding here. You must eat here if you’re looking for Haitian food, or Caribbean vegan food.
