This place is completely off the map and I mean completely. I would have never even know about this place if it wasn't for my West Indian mother. The restaurant is located in the basement of a hotel. There is a nice waiting area stationed between the buffet room and the dinning room. Strange configuration as hungry people waiting to be seated have to watch dinner guests walk back to their table holding plates of delicious food on Sunday's which is the buffet day.

Hibiscus is a Caribbean restaurant with Island favorites such as jerk and stew chicken. They also serve many American dishes as well. I would call it "mamma's cooking" because It tastes just like the food my family makes. It's just some good home cooked food. I normally frequent the Sunday Brunch where there is a full buffet located in the room across from the dinning area. The dinning room has a great feel to it, elegant but relaxing, welcoming and a casual aura. There is always live music for the Sunday brunch which is so old school and awesome. The music just adds such a great feel while supporting local musicians. The dinning crowd normally consists of families and older people. I have never waited more than 15 minutes to be seated so I would say reservations are not needed.

Hibiscus serves sorrel which is a great Caribbean drink. Try it mixed with sprite. Once you are seated in the dining room. You can head straight to the buffet which offers a great variety; rolls, salad, fresh vegetables, plantain, fish, rice, spicy pasta, chicken, ham etc. What I love is that everything they serve at the buffet is healthy for the most part. So refreshing from the normal unhealthy mess that has become the American norm for dinning. There is also a dessert section of the buffet where there is a big spread of fresh fruit, cakes, pies, and pastries offered.

I've never tried anything at Hibiscus that I didn't like. Everything is truly filled with flavor and delicious. Hibiscus is perfect for family brunch and dinners. Also a great place to try Caribbean food if you have never had it before. The buffet is $34 per person. Amazing Caribbean food.
