    A group of 4 wanted to split a lot of our lunch choices...plus the checks. No problem. Not only were they accommodating of all of that, our choices came to us already split. Not all restaurants would do that. Staff is charming and knowledgeable. Prices are good. Et Viola is one of my go-to restaurants for good reason. We had mussels, salads and French Onion soup by the way.

    I've eaten at Belga many times but not recently. I really like the clean-lined refresh they did to the interior which now compliments the excellent food coming out of the kitchen. We were there for a business lunch and the atmospherics were perfect...lively acoustically but still able to talk easily without being overheard. Our waiter was a little over zealous but read the room after a while and pulled back. I live and work on the Hill and love this institution. Wouldn't mind a few more all-veg options.
