| - I know everyone and their moms rave about the moules here, but there are those of us who don't eat seafood.
I came here for Sunday brunch, just ten minutes after their posted opening time (11), and the place was busy. We snagged an open table, but people who showed up just ten minutes after us had to wait. The front area of the restaurant looks pretty nice, though we felt cramped at our table in the back.
As a waffle fiend, I had to try the Liege waffle, with the seasonal fruit topping, apple and cranberry. I ordered it as a prix fixe meal, with potato strudel as my side and a mimosa. I liked the crystallized sugar which gave the waffle a little crunch, but the waffle was sort of dry. The fruit topping was tasty, though. The potato strudel was okay, but not that remarkable. My brother had the moules with the tomato-fennel broth. It looked like he could use more bread to mop up the broth--he resorted to using an empty shell as a scoop once he finished the piece of bread. Our server didn't check on us after our dishes arrived, so my brother couldn't even ask for a spoon.
Other people's egg dishes looked good, so I'd probably go that route if I were to come back for brunch--but I don't feel a burning need to return.
