Great Belgian restaurant with a lot of history. Classic pub feel on the inside. AWESOME service. The food is delicious - they are known for their mussels and dipping sauce for fries (seriously, so good). The space was once a doctor's office several decades ago, and the doctor's name was Granville Moore.
