Belgian food and beer take front and center, as befits a restaurant with a genuine Belgian chef who prepares mussels and frites in a myriad of ways, just as he did back home. The little antimacassar curtains that hang throughout the restaurant are touches of the "mother country" as well. But the locals who decorate the bar with their presence are strictly Philadelphia aficionados.
Focusing on American, this is a fine dining bistro. Expect the average entrée to cost between $20 and $30, and people typically go dressed casual.
Atmosphere: enhanced by oil paintings and flowers and plants, and the lighting is by the glow of candle flame. The fireplace adds to the atmosphere and mood here. The restaurant has two dining rooms. It is cozy and comfortable and fun and pulls in a college crowd.
