"What I know about Haitian food could fit the top of a pin, but if Zeke 's is a fair representation, I now know that it must be flavorful. The djon djon bowl was the crowning glory of our order, and it deserves all the hype it gets here on Yelp. I was curious about what 'djon djon ' was, and when we asked our server, she explained it was their version of a traditional black rice made with beans or mushrooms. Whatever was in it, it was the most delicious bed for the charred plantains, grilled shrimp, and toppings. It can also be ordered with jerk chicken, salmon, or avocado all of which I 'm looking forward to trying on return visits. The menu describes the accompanying aioli as 'epic, ' which is entirely correct. It reminded me of a slightly spicier version of the white sauce that comes with Halal food, and it brought the whole bowl together beautifully. My husband ordered a jerk chicken salad, which he praised as fresh and tasty . We were a little less enthusiastic about the salmon dip, which sounded delicious on the menu but turned out to be a little saltier than I would 've preferred. What rounded up our love for Zeke 's was the service. Our water glasses were constantly refilled, food was bussed out with efficiency, and our servers couldn 't be kinder or more welcoming. The interior is surprisingly nice (in fact, as we walked in, my husband wondered aloud if this was too fancy a place for our athleisure outfits), but I agree with one reviewer about the music being a tad loud. Luckily, here are a few outdoor tables available for those who might feel similarly."

"Very disappointed with the customer service I was given by one of the ladies who works there . She was very rude and disrespectful to me . There was a miscommunication on there end regarding something I had ordered . I never said anything to them except told them I they gave me something else than what I ordered. The lady came to me and confronted me and accusing me of something I didn’t say . It’s on their end they had a miscommunication. I am really disappointed at the way I was treated so disrespectfully. I really liked their food but very sad and disappointed on how I was treated . She should be trained on how to talk to a customer and how to treat a paying customer."

"While there may be various factors contributing to this delay (such as DoorDash, new staff, it being a Friday night, etc.), that's not the main issue here. Our group spent over $200 and ended up eating Ritz crackers and a box of cookies afterward, since we were staying in a rental and had snacks for the kids. Honestly, I can say these were the smallest pieces of nigiri I’ve ever encountered—easily. My sister-in-law’s $15 roll was just embarrassingly small. To their credit, the food did taste good, but by that point, we were absolutely starving. What a disappointing waste of money. I wish I could chalk this up to a one-time mistake, but there's no way that many dishes could be shortchanged by accident. Just a terrible experience overall."

"We were in town for a baseball game and looking for place to have breakfast/brunch on Easter Sunday. Google suggested the 'another broken egg ' restaurant but the wait was over 1 hour- we decided to walk around in this beautiful neighborhood and I noticed the beautiful patio of Paces and Vine and went there instead. We were seated immediately, everyone was super friendly and I had the best brunch buffet in a loooong time. Although the prices seemed a little high at first, I think it was absolutely worth it. I am vegeterian and had planty of delicious options and my husband loved it too! Everything was perfect, we will definitely be back if we went to Atlanta again. Great place!"

"We made reservations a month ago to sit outside at this restaurant. The lady who greeted us was very nice and made a comment that she knew it was my wife’s birthday. That was where the good experience ended. The hostess brought us to an indoor table. When we asked if we could please sit outside while we waited at the indoor table she first went to the door to check and then opened it. Instead of coming back to us she stood by the door and gestured across the restaurant for us to follow her. Once seated there were multiple tables outdoors. The view was slightly better from the table adjacent to us so we moved. 10 minutes later after having not been met by a server, the hostess came back and moved us to a much smaller table saying that the one where we were sitting had a specific reservation and we needed to move. Fine. The tables are not marked and there is no indication that you can make a specific reservation for a specific table. We then waited another ten minutes for someone to bring us water, but after that we still were not met by a member of the waitstaff. As we waited, we noticed that two tables that were sat significantly after us had been acknowledged by their servers and their orders had been taken. Finally, after I made this clear to the people involved, a server met us. However even then the service did not improve. The Mac and cheese was cold, the spinach was about 15 leaves (for $15) and the steak was average. We then had to wait another 40 minutes after we initially asked for the check to get out of there. Oh, and no further recognition of the birthday. No matter, we enjoyed a nice Publix birthday cake at home."
