    The mussels in this old-time place are quite good; though the service is rather on the slow side.

    The mussels with creamy garlic sauce were awful. Bechemel sauce is not to be served with moules frites. Burger ok.

    Tries to pull some kind of "Belgian" vibe, but the staff have no idea what they're doing, just drop the act and be a regular pub.
