I think this is the most underappreciated restaurant in the city. Always excellent food and service and the ambience is just cool. If it was a little closer to the Aronoff, it would be as hard to get into as Boca. Highly recommend.

Every bite of food was incredible. We had the brioche, beet salad, and burger. We’re still talking about it the day after and we’re sure to stop back soon. Great staff and ambience, as well!

We dined here New Year’s Day for dinner. It’s beautiful and comfortable. We ordered the meatball appetizer, which was delicious but we felt it was served a tad on the cool side. The entrée of salmon was perhaps a tad overcooked but the crusted duck was perfection. The caramel cider cheesecake dessert is very rich. We had nightcaps at the bar and enjoyed the seasonal dark Manhattan made with a dark stout beer reduction, very warming on a cold winter evening. Friendly and prompt service from the staff.

Oh sooo good! Taste of Belgium 🇧🇪 is excellent! The service was phenomenal. They did not hesitate when we asked to be seated in a different type of seating, the wait staff was always available while never hovering. The coffee, pastries and of course the waffles were simply perfect 👌🏻 Couldn’t have asked for a better brunch on graduation day!
