We went here on a holiday weekend and it was fantastic! We had the curry mussels which I think I devoured the broth it was so good!! Pizza was good and I had a delicious Paloma. Was a great spot for a quick bite and and drink. We liked it because it felt like a quality restaurant, not some chain restaurant. Great view of Glebe Road and great service we will definitely come back for dinner!

Amazing place for fresh oysters and mussels. Great variety of Belgium beers too. Their burger is really good too. Great deal for Belgium’s Independence Day (July 21st and 2 days after) 1$ oysters and 4$ Belgium beer. They also have a fantastic happy hour with 2$ oysters (on the weekends as well, which is rare). Service was superb!

Best Cesar salad in town, besides the drinks. Find miss in mussels, I’d guaranty it the best mussels you have ever tired in your entire life!

Love the drink selection, lots to choose from. The food menu selection was lacking in the entree part. I had the octopus and it was tasty but it was a little hard to bite and chew could have been a little more tender. The beet salad was amazing I enjoyed that a lot. The raw oysters were very fresh and love the different types they had to offer. E had their signature drinks and they were delicious definitely enjoyed them.

Nice atmosphere and pretty presentation of dishes. Service was friendly but severely lacking. We sat at the bar, were never greeted, and it took 15 min to flag someone down to order drinks and food. About 15 min later our appetizer arrived – still no drinks. Same issue for a second round and more food – and to get and pay the bill. Lastly, drinks are overpriced ($20 for a house cocktail is insane). Doubtful I’ll be back.

It’s always more lively sitting at the bar. Melvin is very friendly and I was asked how I was doing at least 10 times. The manager met me at the door and offered the bar seating right away. It was happy hour from 3-7pm. Melvin suggested the happy hour oysters and they were delicious. An Alsin Hazy IPA was a perfect pairing. I finished with the Kenet wood fired pizza. The flavors of the truffle oil, smoked bacon and arugula were amazing together.
