We found this Belgian restaurant on Open Table while visiting a friend at Sibley Hospital, where dining options are pretty limited. It was a delightful surprise! One of our group, who has visited Belgium several times and loves Belgian cuisine, was especially excited. We shared several dishes: the mussels, a small cheese plate, and of course, frites paired with Belgian beer (Duvel, I believe). Everything was delicious! The atmosphere was cozy and authentic, and the service was very good. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and looking for a yummy meal. It truly felt like a little taste of Belgium.

Always delicious choices on this menu. Kitchen is thoughtful and skilled. Perhaps a little less butter and oil. Steak temp requested was medium and I got a perfect medium preparation. Dry January required a non-alcoholic beverage. Mocktail choices are plentiful. Beers not so much. I love Athletica brand beer but they only offered the IPA and I really don’t like IPA’s. No other non-alcoholic beers were available. Really one choice and it’s an IPA? I’m certain the Athletica distributor can bring the Athletica Pilsner. Please stock a broader variety of Athlectica’s. Noise? Yes the musak (90’s rock?) was too noisy for my taste. Our party of 4 wanted to talk to each other and didn’t need so much atmosphere imposed upon us by our hosts at True Foods. Service was great; knowledgeable, attentive and discretely in the background.

Lovely old tavern. Really great food and good service. Only issue is price, which was quite high, even by DC standards. We love to dine out and we have been to many of the areas best restaurants over the years. This ranks right up there with the best in terms of food quality, but the prices are out of line. They strike me as exclusionary rather than production related. Nonetheless, if you want a excellent meal in nostalgic" old money" surroundings, this is your place.
