"Not to mention the cozy red booths and framed French posters that create a warm atmosphere."
"Fantastic restaurant and has really stepped up during the pandemic with ample sidewalk seating and heaters that kept us comfortably warm on the coldest night of the year so far."
"It’s a great place for a date night. It’s not loud and it wasn’t crowded."
"With Christmas greenery and lights still up, the restaurant was also quite pretty and comfortable."
"It’s cozy and warm and if you’re lucky, there is live music :)"
"The decor and ambiance is charming and classic, the restaurant feels like a storied bistro."
"Atmosphere is wonderful. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for the holidays."
Cons:
"The noise level was higher than I like and made conversation difficult but not impossible."
"It was also too hot in the restaurant."
"The only downside is the 'Belgian Feast' only runs from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m."
"The manager wouldn’t bother taking our names, he just barked that we had to wait at the bar for at least 15 to 20 minutes."
"Get rid of disgusting dining shed!!!!"
"Maybe because we were black and all the other guests were white? More attention was given to the whites."
"The current manager was unbelievably rude."

"The service was excellent!"
Cons:
"We used to go to this place a lot; the last time we went the service was atrocious."
"TERRIBLE SERVICE. We were alone in a dining room with one other group of 4 (there were 2 of us) and it took forever for our waiter to come over and take our drink order."
"Terrible service went in at 5p I asked for a medium, well burger it was plopped down in front of me."
"Service pleasant but slow and inattentive."

Food Quality
Pros:
"The tuna tartare is divine."
"For appetizers, we indulged in escargot, followed by steak frites and sea bass with mushroom risotto in a tarragon sauce for our main courses."
"These are probably some of the largest mussels I’ve had in a long time and I surprisingly found myself pretty full after eating a bucket of them."
"The snails we so good, the mussels yummy!"
"The food is superb."
"The food was incredible. Both my partner and I got the steak frites, which was cooked to perfection."
"The food is authentic and cooked to perfection."
Cons:
"The food was good but not impressive. The sauce that came with the pasta was not edible and we had to change the dish."
"Unimpressive American food with your staple of dishes."
"During the middle of our meal, I was shocked to find a small roach in my pot of mussels."
"The moules frites were fine but nothing exceptional."
"The server failed to bring me the sauce on the side, as a result I was able find that the salmon had no taste of its own."
"The mussels were small, rinkeled and tasteless. Wet cardboard."
"The broth had no taste. Most of the shelves were empty with the mussel at the bottom of the pot."
Value
Pros:
"I challenge you to find a better deal with the same quality of food and atmosphere."
"For $22 you get a heaping bowl of mussels, frites and a draft beer."
"Totally affordable for any demographic."
"Excellent fare at a neighborhood oasis that is perfect for every meal."
"Wine bottle prices are very good, and they have half bottles of red!"
"Undoubtedly a culinary gem worthy of every money spent👌🏼💯"
"Don’t miss out on this little UES gem!"
Cons:
"I just called in a dish for carryout and received a bill 30% higher than advertised on their online menu."
"Wine bottles are marked up. We ordered a bottle of a 2018 Saint-émilion and they brought us a 2019 without telling us and it was the same price."
"Decent, authentic French brasserie fare, good cheese selection, cozy space, polite service, but pricey."
"Now the prices are really unreasonable."
"Only question we had was the prices. $24 for avocado toast seemed expensive for what it was."
"The inside decor is nice. But the prices are stratopheric and are in no way supported by the quality of the food."
"Food was also marked up. All apps and salads are ~$20, mains are ~$40."
