    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.

    They were super crowded so the wait staff didn’t come by frequently enough to refill water and we waited forever for a side order of fries. However, the ambiance was great and the food was very good.
