    We had much higher expectations Extremely slow service The food was low quality and steak was horrible. It uses to be a good branch but I think their time has come to an end

    It took 45 minutes for food to arrive. We asked that the bill be split in two. Both of us had Amex cards, which they did not differentiate, so we didn’t know what to do, because only 1 of us was paying the tip. Good food. Sloppy management

    Tasty food, moderate pricing, a nice enclosed garden - a perfect neighborhood spot. Burgers are great, yummy waffles, excellent mussels (of course).

    As usual, we experienced a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Frites are utterly delicious along with the pretzel as an appetizer. Entrees were scrumptious. A friend will be returning with another friend tomorrow night.

    Very cute restaurant with a nice garden dining area. . Service was fine and friendly. Mussels were cooked well, but they all had minimal flavor. Croquets and dessert were solid. Decent neighborhood restaurant for a quick bite.
