    We found this Belgian restaurant on Open Table while visiting a friend at Sibley Hospital, where dining options are pretty limited. It was a delightful surprise! One of our group, who has visited Belgium several times and loves Belgian cuisine, was especially excited. We shared several dishes: the mussels, a small cheese plate, and of course, frites paired with Belgian beer (Duvel, I believe). Everything was delicious! The atmosphere was cozy and authentic, and the service was very good. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and looking for a yummy meal. It truly felt like a little taste of Belgium.

    First time here for brunch and it was delightful. Our server was especially lovely and charming, tending to our needs but not overdoing it. He had just the right combination of being visible and helpful. The meal was delicious and the portion size was perfect. The rustic vibe of the restaurant was cozy for a cold and windy day, too. We look forward to heading back there soon!
