Haitian-Bahamian chef-owner Wilkinson "Chef Creole" Sejour serves up island specialties like peppery stewed conch, conch fritters and shrimp in butter sauce as well as one of the crispiest and most succulent griot I have ever sampled. The tender, fried pork hunks are served with red beans and rice and pikliz, a scorching slaw of cabbage, onion and carrot in a vinegar base with lots of hot pepper. Try it with a Prestige, a pale lager that's Haiti's premiere beer. The atmosphere is on the scruffy side; takeout is great an option.

I went specifically for the conch fritters, and while the portions were generous, and obviously house-made, the centers were not fully cooked, which was a disappointment. Uncooked fritter batter is never a good thing. Perhaps it was a bad day for the kitchen, but as this is one of their signature dishes, one would think that they would have the details worked out.
