Alvin & Friends New Rochelle

I was here for a private event that was more about the gathering of the people than the food. For this reason, I wanted something light. The food is good and the people including the staff and owners are such a great vibe! You immediately feel like you are amongst friends who could be your family. 🤩 Great place that has a vegan menu larger than seen at many restaurants not specializing in it. I had the jerk artichoke dip. It was good. However, it seemed a little shy of the jerk flavor I was hoping for. I suppose they don't want it to be too strong for those not used to the intense Caribbean heat of such spices. I would love to see them have optional strengths like mild, medium, or hot. 👀 Well worth a visit not only for the food, vibe, people and location-there's more... The restaurant is adorned with the grabbing artwork of it's owner, Alvin Clayton. It's the kind of art that makes you want to know who's in it and what they are doing. For me, I love to answer these questions myself. I craft stories to suit what I see from my perspective and then spend hours, sometimes days wondering if my version is any where near the true inspiration of the work. Alvin's creations I hear are getting around and was seen in "The Best Man-Holiday" movie. Just go and have some food and well as a conversation with Al and his wife Gwen who are warm and friendly hosts.
