There was a reason why I was anticipating to go to Dōgon... It was too good!
I was excited to finally snag a reservation for myself and my significant other. Reservations are highly recommended if you want to avoid a long wait. When we arrived for our reservation, we received a warm welcome and we were escorted to a lounge area as our table wasn't ready. The lounge was intimate, plus there was a cocktail menu. We were able to start off with drinks first. We were here for about 15-20 minutes before being seated.

Once we arrived to our table, our server was pleasant and knowledgeable of the entire menu in detail. We shared the cornbread, hoe crab and fried whitting sliders to start---chef's kiss. I then enjoyed the oxtail dish that came with a side of rice peas. This dish was so flavorful! Lastly, we finished off with the rum cake which had a perfect balance of sweet and savory. I loved my experience and can't wait to go back!

We enjoyed dinner here. The coco bread, greens, and oxtail (not pictured) were all cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The chicken and rice was good but not on the level of the other dishes. Also loved my mango basil drink. My only real issue is that it took the server quite awhile to greet us and even though we ordered our drinks first we didn’t get them until after the meal came and I had to ask for them. Outside of that the service was good.

I wish I could give this place a 3.5. The food was definitely creative and generally good, but it was hard to fully enjoy since everything came out cold. My friend and I ordered a variety of dishes to get the full experience: coco bread, oysters (two orders), lobster, beef, crab, and branzino and rum cake. Out of everything, the oysters and rum cake were my favorite—they were packed with flavor! I could have skipped the lobster, and the beef was a bit too sweet for my taste. I understand that restaurants have to appeal to a broad crowd, but I expected a bit more seasoning in the Caribbean/African dishes, especially salt and pepper.

As for drinks, they were overloaded with ice (and mine wasn’t even alcoholic!). On a positive note, the service and ambience were excellent.

So nice, I had to visit twice! The flavor in this food is so divine yet so unique, I was blown away! Absolutely everything is delicious. The service and ambiance fit right in with how amazing the food is. I love how the staff continuously checks on you to make sure you’re enjoying the food. Some of my faves are the oysters, chicken and rice, coco bread, piri piri salad, cornbread, oxtails with the rice & peas, rum bake, let’s just say the whole menu! Okay!

They greeted me when I checked in by saying “welcome home” and they meant every word. The food is phenomenal. Best meal of my life. I will think about this often until I go back. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. I had the best waiter Travis. The playlist was great and matched the vibe of the food.
