Mixed Notes Cafe

I went here one night to hear a band named Jet X.
The band was supposed to start playing at 10PM.
I got there at around 9:30 to have some food and take in the vibe.
The band couldn't figure out how to get the sound working properly.
There was probably around 15 of them huddled around the stage trying to get the loud drone to stop.
I decided after literally 2 hours of waiting for them, to leave at midnight.
A place that hires a band like this is an embarrassment.

Went here with a special friend to have an authentic Haitian dinner. I myself am Haitian so I've never paid to have a Haitian meal...it's called going to a relative's house. Anyway got there and the layout is a bar in front and then tables towards the back. We were seated in the dining area. We ordered a bottle of Chilean white wine as opposed to just getting glasses. My friend ordered the lambi (conch), while I got the boulettes (fried meatballs). It was something that my mom used to make when I was young, but I have not had in years. The food was okay, everything was served with rice and plantains. It definitely wasn't that good compared to what I grew up with. It was pretty pricey, but for what we got it made sense. The boulettes were dry, but I ordered the sauce on the side so it probably would have been better cooked in the sauce. The biggest scam though was that the bottle of wine was $50 and my friend who is Chilean knows that the real value of the bottle is no more than $4. I'm not surprised though that they overcharged that much though. It was a big bottle and they probably charged for the size, not the quality.  A live band played and sang Haitian music and special friend tried to get me to dance, but I'm not a big dancer...unless I'm intoxicated and I was not. I'm most likely never going back, but I don't regret trying it out.

I went to this place with a group of friends because a friend of mine heard about it and want to check out. The location wasn't bad and we figured sense we all live close to Elmont, why not...right? WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

According to the website, the live band was suppose to perform at 7 but we found out by the staff, the performance begins at 11:30pm. I felt that paying $15 for cover charge was too much. Needless to say we left before the band perform.

The menus were outdated, and they did not have 25% of what was on the menu. The menu on the website was different than the acutal menu at the place. How the hell are you going to operate a west indian restuarant and dont have ox tails, and most of the "beef" entrees. They had 6 desserts to choose from but the first waitress inform me that they only have 3 dessert items (cheese cake, carrot cake, and black forest). I ordered the cheese but over an hour later, they inform me that they were out of all desserts. The "dessert" menu was handwritten in the menu which look tacky.
Some of my friends felt that the fried chicken was bland and dry. I tried the Marinade which turn out to be good except they forgot to stuff a couple of them with cod fish.

The salad dressing bottles were dirty and had alot of residue of dressing all over the bottles from previous use. They only had french and italian dressing to choose from. So for the Ranch, Balsamic, Blue Cheese, or Hony Mustard lovers....you are shit out of luck! The drinking glasses were old and dull. The waitress pretty much stated "The only thing I would order from here is the Tassot". Uh ok, so that means the rest of the food is crap?

We ordered our food and it took over an hour and half for the waitress to bring it to the table. The so-called owner or manager came to our table to see if we are enjoying ourselves. When I discuss about some of the out of stock foods, his excuse was "Some of the foods are not in season". Are you kidding me, since when is cheese cake has a season? I remember growing up I ate Ox Tails any time of the year. Then he made another excuse that there was a catered event that occur earlier in the day and most of the food is gone. Get the hell out of here with that bullcrap excuse, just admit the fact you are too ghetto to run a decent restaurant in Long Island!
