While the food was excellent, there was only one waiter. They usually have two(the owner who doubles as a waiter was missing). As a result service was quite slow..

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.
