Mussels - good and fresh. The baked mussels with bacon and onions came with juicy bits of bacon and onion baked into each mussel served over mashed potatoes layer. Mussels were still very juicy although baked. The mussels with white wine sauce was a lighter alternative, came on a platter which I appreciated over a bucket, so I could dip my baguette into the sauce. I'm glad I found a place in CWB that will satisfy my mussels cravings at a very reasonable price.
Oxtail and risotto were done well as well. Oxtail was very soft and tender with the sauce tasty but not overpowering. I had a side of french fries which I loved soaked with the sauce. Risotto had good texture and pieces of mushroom.
The Indonesian fried rice was very random considering this is a Belgium restaurant, but it was decent. Baked pork chop was OK, would not recommend highly.
All sets came with either soup/salad and coffee/tea and dessert. Clam chowder was good, came with clams. Dessert was small jello shot with fruit inside, simple and enough after a huge meal.
Service: Amazing service - our waitress Rosanna especially was very attentive and thoughtful. She gave suggestion that we order the mussel set over a la carte for better value. Also she changed plates when they needed changing, turned up the air conditioning when she noticed it was slightly warmer (we sat next to the window, with lots of sun). At the end, my friend left his wallet there and the restaurant dutifully called him back to get it, so that's an extra plus.
Sizing it up: The lunch sets were ranging from $38 to $108. The oxtail set was $52 and the mussels with white wine was $108. Portions were huge that we gasped when the food came on the table. Also, I walked out with a coupon that had 5 stamps, if you collect 6 stamps, you get 1 lunch set free, so another WOW. Also, we had buy 1 get 1 free drinks, happy hour - so half litre Hoegarddens and glasses of house wine were good value.
