This is the hungry traveler, and all I can say is this place is a real gem! The food was so delicious it felt like a hug from mom and the flavors were on point, authentic Creole/Caribbean fusion definitely did not disappoint and I can't wait to go back soon!.
As a teenager, my mother had friends that were straight off the bayou cajun. I loved the food they cooked and have never found anyone who compared to Gloria's meals; until now!! I am a big fan of Gianni's and my boyfriend, who is a picky eater even likes this restaurant! That's a definite win! The server is very friendly, always smiling, and very informative when there are questions about the dishes on the menu. My only complaint is that the restaurant is a little on the warm side, but I realize the building is old and A/C could have been having issues recently.
Summary: Comparable prices, okay atmosphere and service, small restaurant, gumbo is great! Detailed review below: Visited here some time ago with a relative and overall it's not bad. There were three other tables in the restaurant when we arrived but it was quiet. Seating for a large group could be difficult, but my party of two was fine. Prices were in line with most Caribbean restaurants I've been to with each person in my group spending about $40 for 3 courses. Oxtail and gumbo were wonderful! I wish there was an option to get a reduced price smaller side portion as an appetizer because the bowl of gumbo is big on top of other food, but nevertheless, good. Now, I wanted to try something authentic so I got the Taste of Caribe because of the Rikki Sandwich. When the sandwich arrived it
This place is ahhhhhmazing! Everything I have tried has been a 10 out of 10! The flavor is out of this world!! It’s a hidden gem! I just hope they stay booked and busy! It’s never a wait time to sit when we dine in. The food is always fresh and flavorful! We love it!
Unfortunately, I have tried this restaurants 3 times to give them an opportunity to improve their food and the food is horrible. The food is very salty, uncooked marinade, oxtail sauce salty, fish is salty, the quality of food is bad. I know they can do better but refuse too, serving high sodium food causes high blood pressure and stroke.
