I visited the Atlanta area for a family event and was excited to have the opportunity to eat at Chef Roble's restaurant because of his famous talked about Caribbean food advertised on the reality shows and from private catering service recommendations. I contemplated not giving this review because of not wanting to make a judgement after one visit, since restaurants typically have bad days and good days. However, I visited on a very bad day at Chef Roble's Caribbean restaurant in Samdy Springs Atlanta.
1. First off, The front entrance of the restaurant at 7pm should have been swept and prepared to welcome guest, there was trash on the outside of the door.
2. The server was nice, and pleasant, however her apron was filthy and had hair on her shoulders, which I brought to her attention prior to ordering.
3. There is live DJ music next door in the lounge which was so loud we could not hear our selves speak.
4. We waited over 1 HR for the food to arrive and when it did, neither of us had the appetite because of a group that was siting behind us discovering the LARGE cockroach crawling across their table as they sat down to eat.

This was alarming to witness and experience. Our waitress sprang into action by squashing the rodent but we cringed at the sound and the crunch of the dead COCKROACH. With all that being said, I don't see me visiting the restaurant ever again but would give Chef Roble an opportunity to cater an event in my home because I don't think the restaurants reflects his authenticity of Caribbean food. I would recommend that since the restaurant represents your style and name it should also represent cleansiness and may need a visit from Gordan Ramsey.
