Always love Waterzooi. Staff is always friendly and food is always too notch. Have been there countless times and will continue to go back.
Apollonia our server was amazing! The cocktails and food are wonderful - real Belgian cuisine!
Waterzooi never disappoints. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable. They make your experience there even better. The food is always fresh and flavorable. I go every year to celebrate a birthday and never leave there hungry!!! I would highly recommend coming here and enjoying the food, drinks and ambiance!!
Did not like the food overall. The mussels were delicious but other fish dishes and waffle not good at overall fish was overcooked and waffle under cooked
Loud, quality of food and service just okay. Definitely gone down hill in all areas since our last dinner a few years ago. Sad since it is a unique restaurant. Salty fries dry bread and low quality mussels that were small and stringy. Will not return.
Made a last minute reservation for my daughter & I. Service was friendly. We shared a pot of mussels. We ordered the Oreganata but I'm not sure if we were brought the Provençal. The broth was definitely tomato based with herbs but the top had the oreganata breadcrumbs. So we were a little disappointed. Dessert was amazing..shared the special - S'mores molten cake. Main dining room is very noisy due to acoustics and design of space but we didn't mind. Suggest sitting outside or in area near hostess stand for a quieter experience.
Our yearly anniversary dinner did not disappoint! Amazing food and ambiance! Our Waiter Carlos was amazing, seafood was fresh, drinks were delish! Save room for the Belgian Chocolate cake! A great place for a special occasion!
great food; scallops and fish were excellent. outstanding Blue Point oysters; tomato burrata; desserts—all fine; waitress lost us for a while in mid meal due to crowds—empty wine glasses after meal was served from kitchen, check not picked up timely—not a big deal but still....
Love it! Definite a top restaurant for food selection, taste, ambience and location. One of our favorites in the garden city area
My husband and I got a seat at a nice corner table outside for lunch. The food was delicious!! We shared the lobster bisque, turkey sandwich and Asian salad. We left very happy.

This was our second visit and, I'm afraid, it was our last. The mussels - both times (more than two years apart) were grainy with sand in them. I've never - including in Belgium, California, London, Paris, anywhere - had this happen (and I eat a lot of mussels) ... much less twice. The steak was excellent. The salmon was fine. The fries were okay, but you can get better for cheaper at Press195 in RVC. Overall, it was kind of a "meh" meal. The highlights were the beer selection and the service.
Celebrated husbands birthday. Ordered our mussel pots. Noticed a lot of empty shells in mine but figured they would be at the bottom. Waitress asked if everything was ok. I mentioned about empty shell (not a complaint just an observation). She sent manager over who apologized and explained all orders are equal. Offered a complimentary additional beer which I accepted. Women came over later about the “complaint” and gave us a gift card. Excellent customer service and we will certainly be back
Probably the best seafood I've had in a long while. The server was very nice and so was the ambience making it perfect for me and my partner.
Went there with another couple. The beverage menu had tons of drinks, wines, beers. Something for everyone. Wife and I got short ribs for dinner and it was the best I've ever had. Dessert was also delicious. It was Dubai chocolate pie. It was a special so they might not have it all the time but I think they should offer it full time. Waitress was very friendly and attentive.
The food is always superb and never disappoints. Our waitress, Brook, was phenominal and made the experience even better!
