    This is one of my favorite places. Steak tartare done right, moules frites, even a vegan option. And the wine is to die for. They make a mean cocktail too. The staff is always stellar and the vibe is cozy and classy. Usually not too loud, and outdoor seating. Love!!!

    Went for dinner with a coworker and absolutely loved it. The staff was super nice and accommodating. I would recommend any of the cheese appetizers, so delicious. It was a little noisy with a street fair outside and music on in the restaurant, but not too loud for conversation.

    Beautiful restaurant, portions were large and great for sharing with friends. Bolognese pasta was delicious, mussels were ok. Music was a little loud inside, outdoor dining was comfortable and perfect ambience. Friendly staff, clean environment, would recommend.

    Best Mussels anywhere. They were fresh, large & plump & perfectly cooked. We had the Thailandaise. The frites were some of the best. We also had the crispy calamari that came with crispy fried onions. Although they’ve had a steep price increase, it was worth it.

    Great food and service. Had the mussels and they were on-point. Sweet, plump, great portion size — puts Flex Mussels to shame. Nice drink menu too — some great Belgian beers. Had a very authentic feel too — all of the staff we interacted with had what sounded like a Belgian or French accent and I assume were from the area. Rare to find this at most European restaurants ever since COVID. Was a chill Euro pub/bistro vibe until around 7:15 when they cranked up the music surprisingly loud. It didn’t really bother us but definitely felt a bit out of step with the vibe.

    Always a great meal, service and ambience. Our go to place for dinner and drinks when going into the city for a show I’m revising my review after examining a copy of the bill this morning. It seems that we are being separately charged for the bread which should automatically accompany the Steak Tartare rather than having had the need to request it. I find this this charge to be petty, unnecessary and not worthy of this restaurant. Possibly others consume this meal by shoveling the raw steak into there mouths but it’s not he case for me. It’s been my experience during family and dining out meals that bread is part of the serving except here I understand that the past few years have been difficult on the restaurant industry. This is a well establish restaurant and their service needs to reflect that.

    We are long time fans of BXL Zoute and the mussels were good as usual. The problem has been the increasing noise level. The restaurant has been a favorite pre or post theater venue for us and our friends. We found it impossible to have a conversation at all this last visit. There was a party in the rear space but the major issue was an unnecessarily loud and painful sound track. We don't encounter this in Belgium or France. Why is it inflicted upon us in NYC? I am sad to say BXL is off my recommendation list.

    We had a larger group and did not feel like the kitchen was prepared for this, several dishes came out cold and the waitress was not very approachable about mistakes and issues. The manager was kind and they did try and make it right but it took 3 hours and no one left satisfied

    We had such an awesome time here last night. The service was wonderful. They were super friendly and so welcoming. We got the oysters, the fried chicken sliders, mousels frites and the hanger steak. Everything was amazing, especially the oysters and mussels. The absolute best part was the liege waffle at the end. Holy moly, one of the best I have eaten. Def recommend this restaurant!
