Eagle's Restaurant

Reviewed By The_Concierge_8

They’ve now moved from Maraval Road to Ariapita Avenue. Easy to find and parking readily available out front (most hours) or along the side streets.There’s a small takeaway section downstairs with the dining room upstairs. Eagle’s is a nice quiet place for a Sunday meal or for a family get together. We were pleasantly surprised to find them open on a public holiday, making them one of the few places where you can dine when the most other places are closed. The food was fine and made fresh. Still good value for decent Chinese food. Their Pork Pows remain the best anywhere (though they have gone up from $80 to $100 per dozen). There are some dishes here that are cheaper than their competitors, so hope they don’t raise their prices. The servers here are conversational, good-natured and eager to please, which we like. We’ll certainly return here again!

This place is amazing. Wonderful location with parking if you have a car and wonderful food. Very professional attentive waiters, best we have come across in Trinidad and Tobago and quick and efficient service. Beautiful interiors again best we have come across.Delicious food so much so we had 2 lunches at the pub bar downstairs. Quite reasonable priced too given the quality. If you’re lucky Jenny herself might wander over to say hi and she’s an amazing hostess. Highly recommended.

Visited this restaurant for dinner with my family members. The server was a bit slow in taking orders and delivering items. The décor requires updating as the place is a bit dark as well... The food though was quite good and everything was fresh and tasty! Well worth the price!

Carried my mother for her birthday. Last time I was here was in December 2018, but there were doing renovations on the ground floor. So, entering the restaurant the lighting was soft with Asian decorations. The waiters, waitresses was neatly dressed in there uniforms. The service was great. We didn't have to wait too long from the time we ordered the food to when we got it. There is a 'Petite' portion on the menu, I average it can feed 2 persons, probably 3 depending on what it is. Prices wasn't too high. Food was great as usual. We had an issue with one dish, but it was rectified quickly with no fuss from the kitchen. I always enjoy carrying my family here for great food & wonderful service.

House of Chan

Reviewed By ErnestoAK

After visiting Beijing, you understand that Chinese restaurants the world over have a bias towards adapting their flavors to the local taste. This has been mostly dissapointing for me, until I visited House of Chan in Port of Spain.As we were a party of five, we asked the very simpathetic owner chef to reommend a few dishes to share, with the provision that we didn't want any meat other than fish or seafood, to accommodate one of our colleagues. He respected the request with one welcome exception.What came after that was a parade featuring some of the finest Chinese dishes I've ever tried: grilled jumbo shrimps, tempura fried squids, fried seabass, sweetbread-stuffed clams, and a perfectly fit array of garnishes, mostly vegetables, but also rice. They were all delicious, some really memorable, all with a Caribbean touch, which combines the spiceness of these islands with the species of India that is so embedded in the local culture, for its benefit.The food was so good that we didn't need neither wine nor dessert, our tastes delighted by these wonders.

I've come to this restaurant to dine quite a few times over the past 30 years and tonight I was subjected to the worst service ever. My wife and I sat to dine at 9:10pm on Sat 9th Feb and ordered our meal. The gentleman who brought the meal was very welcoming and polite. However, we were appalled to find that the lemon chicken (part of a lemon chicken platter - combo meal) looked nothing like what we're accustomed to. It was covered in extra thick flour/egg batter and the chicken pieces looked mushy, dark and fatty. I immediately called the waitress who served us and told her we were not satisfied with this meal. She asserted in a very aggressive tone: 'that is how lemon chicken ALWAYS looks!' I told her that we will not be accepting it and to take it away. She then removed the meal in such an aggressive manner that bits of food spilled over onto the table. i calmly walked over to the hostess and asked to speak to a manager. She then called someone purporting to be a supervisor who approached me in a most nonchalant manner, asking what was the problem. She asked whether we wanted a replacement meal and I said no - that I would like the bill excluding the item. I received the bill, paid and left. While I was speaking to the supervisor, said waitress was hovering nearby listening to the exchange and watching at us. I've liked this restaurant for special occasions over the years, including business meetings because of the service and location. This is the first bad experience I've had here and I know misunderstandings may happen. But this is a management problem - firstly, serving substandard food at a premium price is unacceptable. Secondly, aggressive behaviour toward customers must not be tolerated. In my view, this is damaging to the brand.Thank you for bringing this experience to our attention and we apologise for not responding sooner. We have forwarded your comments to the team and they are in the process of reviewing the item in question in order to ensure that we have consistency. We hope that you will return in the future. Once again thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Town Restaurant & Bar

Reviewed By lystra m

While the restaurant presents well, I beg to differ with some of the favorable responses. I had a birthday dinner here and after all is said and done, its not as good as it looks. So the ambience of the restaurant is excellent, as its furnishings are up to date so the seating and layout is really comfortable. Service was not an issue as it was as expected: moreso, I felt really welcome. But the food was not all what it said it was: plainly, this restaurant is almost a carbon copy of the mediocrity Jenney's was known for, mindful, that it is a Jenny's inspired product (owner is a former relative of Jenney?). How i judge taste, is when the temperature of a meal simmers down, only then you get past any obfuscation of the flavors. So on the menu, the food looks great, when it arrives you may be wowed.. but as you get in, the enthusiasm dies down and you may be quite surprised if you take food away in a doggy bag. Please note that parking is good. of course by the time the bill hits you, you will be thinking twice about what you have done. So I felt that the restaurant was a bit pricey and it will be some time before I save up, if I am going back. Other than that, well its a nice place available in Port of Spain for restaurant dining.
