CAFE 214

This restaurant specializes in Afro-caribean quisine. They also have karaoke and hookah smoking. I don't do either of these but a patron asked if I objected to him sitting near me and smoking the hookah and I told him that I did object so he was moved to another area of the restaurant. I went with a friend of mine who had been there the week before for a special event. They brought me some food and it was delicious prepared. I ordered the red snapper for $35. That was the market rate, but it was by far the worst tasting fish that I had ever tasted. It was prepared by the owner who is Jamaican, but he needs to stick with the chicken and oxtails. The presentation was as poor as the flavor. The waitstaff stayed in the corner and another staff member was sitting on a booth with his feet on the seats. I know that it wasn't cleaned after he got up. Additionally, I was brought my food in Styrofoam even though I was dining in. I sent it back. This was both offensive and tacky. I believe that t

I made a reservation and purchased a Mimosa Tower for my birthday brunch for their Rhythms and Brunch Sunday. We arrived a little after 4pm and was immediately taken to our table. After being seated at 4:06, a young lady came over to ask us if we wanted a hookah, which we declined. After that, we had to flag down 2 waitresses. The first waitress we stopped at 4:26, no one had given us water, nothing. I asked her who our waitress was and she pretended to be concerned. She walked over to the kitchen entrance area and then turned around and went back to cleaning tables. 10 more minutes pass and at 4:36, flagged down another waitress who did the same! I get up and asked the hostess who was our server and where was my mimosa t ower. She gave us water, and it took another 10 minutes before someone came over. By this time a young lady came and offered us a shot...I wanted food and the mismosa tower that I paid for. She was anle to get the tower sent over and one of the ladies we stopped ear

The best collard greens I've had it Dallas. Waiter informed that it's only on Sunday that they have "those greens" lol. Good oxtails. Good bread pudding. Nice rum punch. Pleased with the fast service. I'll be back. 5 stars are really for those damn greens!!! ????
