    Wait Staff Diminishes Otherwise Great Place

    I live close by and have eaten here three times now. Food is always above par and priced reasonably. The beers are superb and they keep the draught lines clean so you can tell. The problem is the wait staff can be spotty at best. I recently ate at the bar and the bartender was doing some very bad Three Stooges schtick (way out of character for the place) but what really bothered me was that he had no idea how to pour a beer. No, I guess it's too much to ask to have a plastic blade to knock off the head as they do in the low countries, but he would tap the beer in such a way that the head consumed 50% or more of the glass's volume. At $7-9 a glass, I want my money's worth.

    Amazing, genuine European restaurant

    This restaurant is beyond excellent. The French fries are to die for, and the rest of the food is extremely tasty. They have the biggest beer variety I have seen in a NY restaurant in a long time, and the beers are all reasonably priced. Sitting inside, you would believe yourself to really be in Europe. It is a great dining experience and I recommend it to everyone I know!

    Subpar service and value for the money..Do not bother!

    Don't waste your time at this establishment. Subpar customer service, definitely not worth spending money for what they offer. Would never never go back there.

    Always a great time...

    We've had a great meal and great service every time we've gone, even when it was crowded. Kid friendly and accommodating. Love the place.

    Fantastic meal from beginning to end!

    From the ale to the endive salad to the moulles, frittes, and warm apple fritters, the meal was a delight from beginning to end. Service was excellent, and the atmosphere was perfect. More than pleasantly surprised by the quiet noise level, considering the narrow (but uncramped) space.

    Aloof and cold service

    Husband and I went there for one of our few nights out (grandparents flew in so watching our toddler). We were excited to try the great Belgian beers and hearty food. We were seated at a table for two and seconds after settling in, the aloof and unfriendly waitress asked for our order. When we told her we needed a little time, she soon came back and asked if she could take drink orders, which we were glad to give. One minute later she was back for our food order and we told her we would like time to drink our beers first (the beers are supposed to be part of the appeal of the restaurant). She acted like we had four heads and glared at us the whole time we drank them. Instead of eating there, we picked up and left. I have rarely felt so uncomfortable. We went to Celeste instead where despite it being super-crowded, we felt welcomed and appreciated.
