    We come all the way from Brooklyn to eat the Moules-frites! They are that good. Add a great selection of beers, a lovely Backyard Garden and great service, and you'll have a great experience.

    the food at B Cafe is always good; however, the portion size has decreased significantly. I always used to have enough food to take home leftovers and now it is barely a reasonable portion. It is very disappointing.

    Lovely outdoor area that was not noisy. Good food and attentive service. But the menus need to be cleaned; we were a party of six and several of them were dirty.

    Two of our seven orders were wrong (despite the waiter writing everything down). One order was incorrect twice. Service used to be much better.

    We had a delicious, quiet lunch in their outdoor dining area in the back. It was beautiful clean and cool. The food was delicious. Try the B burger! Our waiter was excellent.

    A trip to Belgium without the worry of TSA and trying to find space in the overhead economy bin. An extensive beer menu as flavorful as the beef stew, quiet atmosphere with attentive service make B Café a UES gem that we all hope continues to shine for many more years!

    Waiter was great. Food and ambience were good. Quiet since we were virtually the only ones there around lunchtime. I would gladly return. M

    Our family of 8 had a great Fathers Day Brunch. We sat in the back garden. I was worried it would be unpleasant given the poor weather but it was perfect. The menu is varied enough to please all including 2 young children. The waffles with various toppings are a hit and the mussels are delicious. The servers were all friendly and efficient.
