Park Bruges is a total success! The space is wonderful & inviting. The layout is nice and open, and it seems like there's more tables than at Point Brugge. We were told a 45 minute wait on Saturday night, but didn't wait for more than 20 - 30 minutes. The dress ranged from very casual to a little dressy. The hostess and waitstaff were all efficient, friendly, and knowledgeable.
The beer selection is ample and varied, with many high ABV options. There's about 5 beers on tap, and too many bottles to count. I had a Three Philosophers quadrupel, and my friends had a brown ale from local Full Pint Brewing Co and a Ephemere lambic from Unibroue. Our beers ranged from about $6.00 - $7.50.
The food was spot-on. We started with the Classic Montreal Poutine. The gravy was more of a chicken gravy, which surprised me and others who'd had poutine before, but it was still delicious. We continued with the Moules-- one classic and one with andouille sausage and bleu cheese. Both were delicious, though the flavors in the latter are more robust than the light white white/herb sauce. The moules didn't come out with any bread, which was disappointing, but I'm sure you could ask for some. I had the sea scallop fettuccine. Ample sea scallops perfectly seared with a light-ish sauce and large green and red peppers. We were all too stuffed for dessert, but I might try their chocolate martini next time! Also, I think on my next visit I'll do more of a small plates/family style dinner rather than order entrees. I love that I have the 2 dining options at one establishment.
Little trivia: They used the Flemish spelling for Point Brugge and the French spelling for Park Bruges since both are spoken in Belgium!
