| - Ambiance: This restaurant is oh so very tiny with maybe 12 tables in all. And even then, its probably only best suited for a number less than that, which makes for something of a crowded experience. Subdued lighting, but not too much, and comfortable noise levels -- it's easy enough to have a quiet conversation with someone across from you with no trouble.
Food: This place is all about burgers so to order anything else would probably be a waste of time, although there are a handful of other options. This establishment is all about simplicity and focus and it shows. The burgers are both juicy and delicious and when combined with frites (fries) and beer make for an excellent meal. For people with vegetarian friends, fear not, for there are three different "veggie" burger options. Excellent place to get one's "Belgian" on with frites, mayonaisse and beer on a cold, rainy day.
Service: Friendly and attentive. Although it can take a while to receive service, it's certainly not for lack of effort. The menu is in French only, but the staff also speaks English quite well.
Price: Very reasonably priced. $10-15 per person (not including alcohol). Considering the quality of the food, it's a value.
Hassle factor: Expect to wait to get in. We went at 5pm on a Saturday and still had a 20 minute wait to be seated. There is room for only 10 people to queue in line so spillover has to wait outside -- which could be a problem on cold or wet days. Due to steps and crowding, this establishment is most definitely not wheel-chair friendly.
Overall: 4.5 stars. Knocked off a half-star for the hassle of getting in. Spartan, no frills menu, but executed very well. Great lunch date for couples. It's also a good spot for informal business lunches.
