    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.

    This is a beautiful space. We had a large party of 8 pp, some friends were late, and we had a friend pull up last minute. I would say, not the easiest table. Our Captain and servers were very attentive and accommodating. All my guests left saying what a fabulous dinner it was. Fun cocktails. We shared a bunch of plates (Halloumi, Gigantes, Spanakopita, Mushrooms [Get Them!]) Feta Wrapped Phyllo, and some ordered mains. The food was so yummy! We will be back.

    From the moment we stepped in and to the moment we left, we were such well taken cared for. SHIA thought of every little detail. Not only was the food amazing but it truly was the people that made the difference. You could feel the warmth and genuineness shine through every person we interacted with. It was a cozy and intimate night we won't ever forget.
