What a great place! I was in town for a conference and reserved a table for 25 people. Well word got around and over 100 people showed up!Without a pause the manager called in extra staff to make sure we were served and they rocked it! Everyone ordered food and drinks and it was a great time. The servers and cooks did extraordinary! Definitely will be back this week and next year. If you’re in town this is a must visit!

Our group has a reservation for 25 and we ended up with easily over 100. They not only accommodated us, they gave us amazing service and were so fantastic. Can't recommend this place enough this kind of service can't be topped.

Really wanted to try an expresso martini. Waiter says they’re out of ingredients to make it. We get a new server due to her ending her shift, who was absolutely amazing and very kind. 30 minutes later, another table had ordered an expresso martini and got one??? Very aggravating to experience due to the fact that the server lied to me, maybe because she was ending her shift. Regardless, still very irritating and I did not enjoy being lied to. The server we had in the end did not have anything to do with this and was phenomenal. Other than the drink, the food was amazing.

We made a 5:45pm reservation for a party of 4. Place was pretty empty. Maybe 4 tables occupied. Service was super slow and sloppy. We got 2 wrong drinks, missing food items. Server never removed dishes. Ordered cookies for dessert they came wrapped in plastic without a plate. Dissapointing experience.

Everything was good until I tried to use the $10 off birthday reward that Taste of Belgium emailed me. The waitress (possibly new to the job) and the manager couldn't figure out how to apply the discount so the manager flat out told me I couldn't get the discount. That was her solution. Two days later, I went to the Oakley Taste and bought a 4 pack of waffles, using my $10 reward which they had no problem applying. The employee at Oakley apologized multiple times for my inconvenience and wished me a happy birthday as I left.

Typically love taste of Belgium- one of my favorite restaurants! But today was unfortunately service was very off. Waiter only came by twice with being here over an hour and could use refill on drinks etc. typically a 5 star place, but left today disappointed.

Overpriced for an eggs Benedict on a waffle instead of an English muffin. No sides. Should have included skillet fries or fruit. Something. Fried chicken sandwich same price came with fries. Flavors were nice. Service was awful. Rarely followed up on our table. But particularly after I rounded up the total bill, sales tax included, then added a 25% tip, exact change, only to find out they don't accept CASH. Only cards. So, while I should have just gotten up and walked away, leaving my payment IN CASH, I whipped out a card while the waitress stood there watching which percentage of tip I clicked. (RUDE). While I just couldnt make myself leave nothing (my daughter is a college student waiting tables), I clicked 15%. She prolly never knew she lost 10% by not taking cash and hovering over me on the tip button. I will not patronize a business that does not accept United States currency. ??

Had Door Dash from ToB. They changed their frites from fresh cut to frozen, which is terrible. They also have changed their baguette for their turkey sandwich to buttered toast...too greasy. Also, the pic is misleading as it shows a waffle turkey sandwich which would have been better than this toasted buttered bread. Then the turkey was wormy as it still had the skin on it that was gelatin-like, and there was only turkey on one half of the sandwich. There was just bacon and veggies on the second half. Brussel sprouts were the saving grace of this meal.

The best thing is the drinks are reasonably priced. The food is okay but not what I expected as I have been to Belgium and personally I think they need to up their game a little to be authentic. Also to note, they do not take cash which is a hassle. One of the wait staff told me that at times they have had to pay the patrons tab with their own card and take the cash personally to pay themselves back which I don't think is fair to the wait staff.

Highly dissatisfied. Just left this restaurant and let me say basically everything was dissapointing. After tip for a breakfast for 2 the bill was over $60. Off the bat my girlfriend asked for a water which was nasty, clearly city water and had no ice. My diet coke was fine but pricey. Tried the waffle and chicken the waitress suggested and it wasent very good. Had an inedible salad, a waffle that was blackened and comparable to a hockey puck. The chicken smothered and drowned in syrup and hot sauce was at least edible. Not much better then that then again you could of smothered anything in that much syrup and hot sauce and it'd be edible. Girlfriends waffle was upgraded to the loaded chocolate, once again was rock like and inedible, I understand this may be how their intended but hers was blackened and inedible with no syrup. I had to give some of my precious syrup to her just for her to gag a couple bites down. The chocolate dome tort was OK. Really the only decent item we had. Girlfriends meal was edible but it's hard to screwup 2 scrambled eggs and bacon. Everything here is pricey and then they have the nerve to charge a supply chain shortage surcharge which is a joke as if they didn't slaughter their customers on price enough already. Our first and last time there. Will never be back. Ever. I honestly had my girlfriend pay the bill because I was so irritated I might initiate a charge back through my card because I feel that ripped off. Avoid. You know when the waitress asks how it was and you say edible and nothing else? That's this place. Sums it up. Service however was excellent. Not the poor waitresses fault.

Great breakfast! We had three different types of crepes and they were all amazing! Highly recommend. We went on a Monday morning about 9 and didn't have to wait for a table.
