give up the franchise goals
these guys need to forget about making millions from franchising and re focus their attention getting their existing restaurants right. roast chicken so overcooked it turns to lumpy powder at the touch of a fork. soggy pommes frits. a hostess that slams glassware on the table. gone is the belgian chef to be replaced by a cheaper latin american chef. a sad $340 experience for 5 people.

Nice Place
Went there for lunch to watch a soccer match and had a good time. The food is good and the help is very nice. The atmosphere is pleasant and they have limited outdoor seating. It is a little pricey but nothing that will prevent you from going.

Rap Music in French
Abeille is OK as long as you're prepared to send food back to be re-cooked. The French rap music, a failed attempt to be hip, is a distraction, too. Waiters should focus on making sure the chefs get the details of orders right. I.e., rare means rare, for beef. For omelets, soft-cooked means just that. My most recent experience was good, but I still feel like I've got be on my guard.

just like Belgium, the good and the bad
The food, astounding. I've never been dissapointed and neither have any of my guests, food arrives hot and fast, quality is excellent for the price. This isn't for weight watchers, it's pretty heavy stuff. Amazing imported beers, great daily special deals, the best mussles on the east coast. Now for the bad, it can get crowded, and like the others say, the waitstaff doesn't seem to care about you sometimes. The attitude is very much, if you want something you'll ask for it, but once you've asked for it the service comes quickly! And it's not that they aren't nice, they just are very laid back. It's more like hanging out with friends who are amazing cooks with a huge beer stash than a regular restaurant atmosphere. No complaints, you just have to know what you are getting yourself into.

Excellent food, great service
I usually only stop in here for breakfast. Good coffee, excellent croissants, very good fruit salad, nice omelettes (a bit small), and very good service. It may take a bit longer, but everything is fresh, fresh, fresh. I have had lunch here a few times and everything was great - but I've never gone for dinner. I hear the dinner hour can be a bit busy - particularly on beer night!

Friendly, fun and figer-licking good
I am a regular not only because the food is delicious and the portions very generous, the drinks are fantastic (beers and special cocktails) and the music is great (especially on thursday nights- DJ/lobster!), but the staff are awsome! Always friendly, and attractive! I recommend this place to anyone whos looking to have a group dinner, party, family meal or intimate date- I've done it all...not to mention the out of this world brunch! The only problem is that the food is very rich, and there arent many options for vegans or vegetarians.
