They recently opened a small usptairs eating area, and broadened their menu to include mussels, so I stopped in here after school tonight with a friend for some mussels, fries and beer. I have always liked their fries, and the mussels were fabulous. A big pot for about $10, including some fries. They were plump. briny and sand-free, prepared simply with wine onion and celery -- nothing ungepotchked. Definitely worth checking out. The only thing that runs up the tab is the beers, which run between around $4 and $8, but then I think Belgian beers are worth it. The selection of beers is small but nice, and they have Gueze which I love. We had a nice light meal (though definitely not lo-cal) for $30 for two. Worth checking out.

It was a little tarter and lighter than I recall, but very good. They had about 8 different beers altogether -- Duvel, Chimay, two lambics (gueze and kriek), a white beer on tap, stella artois, and a few others. Sat Apr 17 12:40:52 -0700 1999 1007170 0 Alan Divack
