The soup was great! The chicken breast on my sandwich was overcooked into oblivion. So very dry. Require more of your servers. The host understood the assignment, she saved the day. The weirdly LOUD regulars can be a bit... off-putting.

This was our 1st visit and it was delicious!! Great service. Food was very tasty and good portion sizes. We arrived at 11:30am so we were able to get the window seat right up front inside.

I give very few five stars and Point Bruggw earned them! For days I will be thinking about the Belgan chocolate sauce. I would eat it on anything (and that's saying something). The red curry sauce on the mussels was superb and my son especially liked the crab cakes.

A cute neighborhood restaurant. My husband said the mussels in white wine and cream sauce were as good as the ones he had in Brugge, Belgium. Our compliments to the chef. The cheese plate was perfect for 2, the bread was crusty on the outside and soft within. We split the entree which was beef in a brown ale sauce, which was good... oh and the French Fries? Don't forget the herb mayo that went with it. We had to take a walk around the neighborhood after that meal!

Great food! Bartender has a listening problem, though.
Love it! And the bartender is super sweet. Will be retuning for sure.

The mussels broth was flavorless and bland. The fries were only small bits and the bread was meh. This place is very overrated

Once a Belgian Gem — Now a Disheartening Experience
We’ve been visiting Point Brugge Café for years, drawn by its once-distinctive Belgian fare and welcoming charm. Sadly, the restaurant has undergone a steady decline — and our most recent visit confirmed that what was once a gem has become a shadow of itself.
Despite the restaurant being nearly empty, it took 15 minutes to place our order, as our table was overlooked by a disengaged group of waitstaff. Service remained slow and inattentive throughout the evening.
More disappointingly, the culinary experience no longer reflects its Belgian roots. The Moules Frites — once a standout dish — arrived with bland, pub-style fries instead of the signature Belgian frites. Presentation was careless, with metal containers stacked directly atop the food. The accompanying bread was clearly stale and reheated, only replaced after we raised the issue.
We overheard other diners being told of additional specials we were never informed about — a troubling inconsistency. Dessert options were limited and underwhelming; the bread pudding was oversized and unimpressive in flavor. And while the restaurant advertises La Prima coffee, it offers only drip coffee — no espresso, which feels out of place for an establishment positioning itself as European-inspired.
The ambiance was further marred by a staff member whose loud voice carried across the entire room, detracting from any remaining sense of comfort or intimacy.
We had once hoped the decline was temporary. Sadly, it appears that Point Brugge Café has traded its identity for mediocrity. What was once a unique and authentic experience now feels indistinguishable from an average American eatery — with service and food quality to match.
