JamieDecember 30, 2014can't visit buffalo w/o hitting the monk for ommegang witte mussels! fantastic beers and food all around. super friendly staff. a bit loud for conversation but you should be too busy eating anyway!UpvoteDownvote
Always great beers on tap. Get one to go with the hoisin duck burger. And blue balls. And aioli for the fries. Ad nauseum…Upvote1Downvote
Davaish SinghFebruary 19, 2014get the lamb, fries and special sauce sides. great beer and good wine, if its crowded steal a seat at upstairs bar alot of ppl dont notice it.UpvoteDownvote
Aki ThomasFebruary 5, 2012The real question is, "What ISN'T good?" I do encourage people to try two things you might pass over because it's different: the Carbonande Flammande and the Shepherd's Pie.UpvoteDownvote
Best selection of unique draft beers in Buffalo, hands down. Sister restaurant is Cole's and they have one hell of a selection, too.UpvoteDownvote
Colleen C.July 10, 2011Skip the overhyped duck frittes and head directly to the salty, savory and tender blue balls! Damn tasty. As far as beers go, try the fruli. It's delicious and fruity!UpvoteDownvote
The beer garden is outside in the back. It's logarithmically quieter than the indoor bar when it's busy and the waitstaff serves it.Upvote3Downvote- Brunch and dinner are fantastic here. Mussels and fries are true to the Belgian tradition.UpvoteDownvote
JendaApril 14, 2013Servers are friendly, veggie burger with sweet potato fries is great, and the beer selection is very good. Bring earplugs.UpvoteDownvote

The lamb chop special was so good, words fail me. Perfectly done. 4*UpvoteDownvote- Joy SerioAugust 7, 2011Try the poutine (fried in duck fat), it was amazing. The beer selection is overwhelming, you can't have just one!UpvoteDownvote
Christopher JohnsonDecember 1, 2012Yes you have duck fries. Yes you have good beer. But you also have a clueless and apathetic staff of douche bags and bimbos. Ugh.Upvote1Downvote

Nathan OwleyJuly 5, 2011Food much improved from opening. Expect wait at peak times because kitchen is small. Patio open for drinks and very nice. Service very friendly...patience will be rewarded.UpvoteDownvote
