Made reservations for two on Sunday. They asked us if we could do 8:30 instead of 8:00 so they seemed busy, but once we were there it didn't seem particularly busy-- several large tables were free all night.I'm a huge fan of schnitzel and that's what I ordered. The breading was crispy and not soggy; the pork was tender and not chewy. With a little lemon and some salt, the flavors really came through. I quite liked the schnitzel, I thought it was top-notch.

It came with some frites. Now this is a Belgian restaurant, and far be it from me to tell them what is or isn't Belgian, but the frites didn't seem particularly Belgian. Belgian fries are fried twice, once at a lower temperature to make them tender and again at a higher temperature to crisp up the outside. These fries *may* have been double-fried, but they didn't seem that way. I could also just be talking out of my posterior. Anyway, as fries, they were very good. A-
My wife got the pork knuckle. It's not really a meal for one person, and we had a bunch of leftovers which I then made into goulash the next day (yum!). The meat was tender, fatty, and delicious. It came with crispy, fatty bits of skin which were also delicious, and plenty of onions, carrots, and potatoes that were, as you might have guessed, also delicious. A
The beer selection was impressive. We had two trappist beers we'd never had, and two random Belgian ales. Some were better than others (one I got was a little overly sweet), but I can't really fault the beers, as I'm the one who chose them.
The place was pretty pricey, definitely not a 'go back often' location. Still, I can see myself coming back, and I would like to try the mussels... and the sausages... A
