We arrived at the restaurant on a Sunday night, and since our party consisted of 8 people, the tables on the ground level weren't large enough for our party, so we had to help our grandma up the stairs to the upper level.  The ground level consisted of a few tables along with a pretty decent sized bar area.  The wall behind the bar area was painted to resemble a famous painting.

Up along the ceiling were numerous umbrellas that were decorated with the Belgos logo and various pictures.

Once seated, we noticed that on the placemat was the definition of a bonvivant.  Are you a bonvivant?  I'd like to think I'm a bonvivant!

While we were looking at the menu, my uncle ordered a pot of mussels and a clam bowl to get dinner started!

After we were done ordering our main courses, the pot of mussels arrived.

Moules Marinières--White wine, garlic, onion, parsley, cream, with bread and fries ($238): The mussels were served in a heavy pot which was better than the traditional metal pot or bucket as the mussels didn't get cold quickly.

The mussels were plump and perfectly tender !  I believe this is the ideal size for mussels rather than the giant ones you usually see in the frozen section (those are usually tough and hard to chew!)  The white wine and cream sauce was incredibly delicious, and I almost wanted to down it like a soup!

Although the mussels already came with some bread, the mere couple of slices were no where near enough to sop up the sauce in the mussel pot, so we asked for extra bread and were informed that there's a charge for bread.  This was the side order of bread, where they charged $25 for the 3 slices.  We thought the charge was a little steep for bread!

Clam Bowl--NY Manila clams in a white wine cherry tomato broth with onion, garlic, basil, and parsley ($178): The clams were very meaty and tender as well.  The broth was very flavorful, while the mussels sauce was creamy, this broth was lighter and had a robust tomato flavor!  We wanted to order another clam bowl, but they ran out!

House Salad--Mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, shallots, and sesame dressing ($88): While the salad greens were very fresh and crunchy, it was a little strange to see the salad dressed in a local-flavored sesame dressing which was not very European!

Lobster Bisque--An aromatic lobster and vegetable soup, with a dash of cognac and star anise ($68):  Although the lobster bisque was flavorful and cognac-forward, it was incredibly thin and not creamy enough.  (This was my brother's soup, and I stole a spoonful of it!)

I ordered the fish and chips for my main course, while it was aesthetically-pleasing to see the fish and chips piled high on a platter, it was a little clumsy to eat as I tried to pry the chips from underneath the heavier fish strips!

Sole Goujons and Chips--Bread-crumbed sole fillet, fries, tartar sauce and fresh lemon ($158): The strips of fish were coated in a very crispy batter, and the fish fillet was flaky and tender, but I prefer the more traditional preparation where whole fillets of fish were battered and fried.  The fries were fried to a perfect golden crispness, and I just munched on them one after another!

Crème Brūlée Aux Spéculoos--Vanilla-flavored crème brūlée with spéculoos biscuit ($70):  The crème brūlée is already a favorite of mine, and this one is topped with spéculoos crumbs making it even more enticing!

The crème brūlée had a perfect sugar crust that shattered like a piece of glass when I hit it with my spoon.  The custard was smooth, and there were plenty of vanilla seeds through out.  Each bite of the crème brūlée consisted of smooth delicious custard, crispy sugar crust, and crunchy spéculoos crumbs!

Although our dinner at Belgos was absolutely delicious, we couldn't help but notice the inconsistency in service!  Other than the manager, Ann, and a Filipino server named Jasper (I think that's his name, as it was a little loud in the restaurant, and I couldn't hear his name clearly), the rest of the staff were quite rude and absent-minded.  At one point, we had to ask four times before our water glasses were refilled.  We can understand that the restaurant is relatively new, and the staff can still be quite green, but the attitude was uncalled for. The servers kept walking away while taking our orders for main course, and they looked like they were angry at all the patrons (not just our table) and didn't want to be there. 
I'm quite lenient in giving happy faces to new restaurants as it's not easy to survive in the restaurant scene in HK.  As the food was really good, I'm leaning towards giving them a happy face as they did have two servers that were very courteous compared to the rest of the staff, and that was the saving grace service-wise (or else, this would have definitely been knocked down to an ok for sure!)
