    Lots of outdoor seating, dog friendly, and a great waitstaff. The mussels were good. They also had some really great French Toast and breakfast dishes I would come back and try.

    They have multiple sours on the menu! Great beer and classic food selection. Definitely making this a neighborhood favorite.

    The burger was very good, but I was expecting more meat with it. The side of fries were different than the appetizer fries that they brag about in the menu. Great beer list and very comfortable decor.

    Trying the vegan wings and pommes frites, the Bruegel burgers, and pint of O'Reilly's stout...and the results are spectacular! Everyone is happy!

    Amazing beer list, Chimay on draft, and a nice selection of Belgian/French-ish dishes (think mussels, but also chicken fingers).

    Had the buffalo shrimp. It was okay. The pomme frites had great dipping sauces. The grilled cheese special and soup were yummy.

    Beer selection is legit. The mussels are great. Most favorite items though were the fries and arugula avocado salad #truestory.

    Complete 180° experience tonight. Delightful bar staff, great service, and super yummy pommes frittes. Triple Chimay to die for.

    The mussels and beer are must-haves, but if you're feeling adventurous, get their veggie burger. Really solid

    If spicy crab eggs with andouille sausage are ever the special, get them!

    The small plates at the bar were delicious. Nice brunch menu and not too far from the art museum.

    A great place for vegans if you have some omnivores to please too. Relaxed spot with great beers.

    Everyone loves the beer and mussels at Monk’s, but the Belgian has the advantage of being just as good and only half as crowded.

    I ate here earlier this week & had such a great experience I insisted we come back. Today there was a SLUG on my salad! And the manager blamed it on being farm fresh -it's called water! Never again!

    Yes, go for mussels or a burger for lunch or dinner, but also try brunch and the croque madame--though ask them to go a little lighter on the mustard.

    Lisa makes a phenomenal dirty martini. Seems blasphemous to not get a beer here, but this is worth it.
