jefcon | Fantastic place, and hands down, the best Belgian beer spot on the East Coast. Always something new on tap, and a hearty list of beers that is both dynamic and deep. This isn’t about quantity, though the beer menu is a good ten pages, it’s about quality. The care taken in the food and beer and the combinations of the two is substantial and appreciated. A nice night out, and food prices have risen, too, but overall it is well worth the expense.

KnN | Sir William, the Belgian knighted beer Sommelier was probably one of the coolest beer guys I’ve ever run into. He stayed at our table and spoke with us extensively about the beers he had and when I had him pick a couple of beers for me, he was right on the nose. Good unique stuff. The restaurant itself is very nice. Pretty upscale and expensive. My wife and I dropped $130 on two entrees, one appetizer and 6 beers. the place can get crowded butthe beer selection of strictly belgians and the service make it a nice place to go for a treat every once in awhile.

Nate | We walked right into a table on a Saturday evening at 5pm ... guess we got lucky, since the reservation list is always packed. Joe M. was our server and he was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the beer and, more impressive, described each dish for which we had a question which such eloquence that I felt like I could taste the dish without ordering. The beer menu is completely Belgian beer - with lots of great selections for each style. Prices are fairly high, but not surprising for DC. Several beers are claimed to be exclusive to the restaurant (i.e., can’t get anywhere else in U.S. besides the restaurant - but I find that a bit hard to believe.). The food is superb and very reasonably priced for the quality. My wife had the halibut - best either of us had ever had - and I tried the choucroute en croute: awesome! In all, if you can get a table here - do so. You’ll drop a bit more than if you go to other DC beer places, but it’ll be a good meal.

scraff | Great beer selection with 15 taps and loads of bottles. When I was there, things like Delirium Noel, Corsendonk X-Mas, Kasteel Blond, and some new Belgian IPA of sorts (all draft). Mussels and frites rocked too. A bit pricey, but highly recommended if in town.

mreeves | I was surprised this place wasn’t already on here. A very impressive lineup of Belgian beers. About 15 or so on tap, including Saison Dupont, Gouden Carolus Grand Cru, and many other good Belgians. About 100 or so Belgians in bottles. Entirely focused on Belgians. I didn’t have the food, but it looked very good. This is a very upscale, pricy restaurant. I think these guys are going to do extremely well.
