Had an amazing experience at Margo Restaurant. The food was fresh, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. I highly recommend the Haitian-style fish and chips β€” perfectly cooked, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious. Great atmosphere and friendly service as well. Definitely coming back!

From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth, culture, and love that goes into every dish. The food is exceptionally high quality, bursting with authentic Haitian flavors that taste just like home.

Every bite is perfectly seasoned, rich, and comforting. You can truly tell everything is made with care and tradition. The portions are perfect, the ingredients are fresh, and the flavours amazing. This is the kind of food that stays on your mind long after you leave.

The service is just as amazing as the food…welcoming, respectful, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Whether you’re new to Haitian cuisine or grew up eating it, this place shows authentic, unforgettable meals every single time.

Server was nice and the restaurant had a homey, hole-in-the-wall vibe, but the food was expensive for what we got.

If you get a meal and a drink, after tax it would be ~$40 per person. I got multiple meals because it was my first time trying this Haitian place, but I unfortunately will not be coming back.

The fish and the beef were seasoned well but very dry. The menu listed that the whole fish is $25-30 so you will get charged somewhere in that range (I got charged $30).

The fried chicken was also seasoned well, but felt hard to bite (dry). Photo is of the large-sized fried chicken set. The sauce was tasty though! But for $26 (pre-tax) I was hoping that the chicken pieces would be juicier and easier to chew.

The bottled drinks were $7 each (got the limonade). It was my first time trying Haitian lemon soda β€œlimonade”, and it was nice and easy to drink, but for $7 felt a bit expensive.

The pikliz were nice to tryβ€”they have a strong vinegar taste so you’d enjoy them if it you like vinegar chips or vinegar soaked fries.

The fried plantains were also niceβ€”they are comparable to having fried potatoes so it was nice to try.

If it’s your first time trying Haitian food it would be interesting to visit, but it is expensive for what you get.

If I ever visit again in the future I wish to see that the restaurant improves its fried food. Their seasoning was tasty and I think I would’ve enjoyed the food more if the meat dishes were less dry.

We’re visiting from New York and Florida with 9 Haitians, 4 of which were over 90 and everyone loved the food! They accommodated my elderly family members and made us feel at home! All of our food was cooked to perfection, everything really felt like a home cooked meal. The owners (sorry I didn’t catch your names) even turned the music up and we danced for a while in the restaurant, it was so much fun! It was so spontaneous but such a memorable time for my family and I and my family loved getting to connect with fellow Haitians! If you’re ever in the area you have to stop by for some authentic Haitian food and great energy from the most kind hearted people ❀️ can’t wait to come back!

Meal was very tasty. Kinda like home cooked food mom would make when visiting.

Tried other items in the past but the meatballs tonight were a first.

Will definitely try ordering more often.

*Fried chicken was good, and the look and taste is like home cooking. Definitely a good option.

**Beef cubes with rice and peas. Very good.
