Parking is most convenient in the museum garage and the restaurant validates it. We had a reservation for Sunday night around 8 pm and it was surprisingly quiet...probably because it was a later dinner. The HRW menu was $55 for three courses. I started with the hamachi crudo which was light and fresh. It The passion fruit and peaches and I loveee a raw fish + fruit combo. It was so good! For my entree, I ordered the chicken. I rarely order chicken at restaurants, so I was a little skeptical but it did not disappoint. It was perfectly cooked, juicy, and not dry at all. It came with cashews and chili crunch on top which added the perfect texture and flavor. I loved how they elevated a simple dish. For dessert, I chose Le Fraisier, a vanilla Chantilly sponge cake and it was easily my favorite course. Not only was it delicious, but it was absolutely stunning!!! almost didn't want to eat it because it was so pretty! The service was also amazing. Our waiterRuben was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and took the time to make conversation with us. Every staff member who stopped by was equally knowledgeable about the food and the wines we ordered which is always appreciated when visiting somewhere for the first time. Overall, I was extremely impressed by the food, atmosphere, and service. It definitely lived up to its MICHELIN star status. Tens across the board!!!

Annabelle was highly recommended and we made reservations during HRW. We were seated in the Sun…read moreroom. Place is beautiful with an outdoor with a view to boot. We started with the French onion soup and deviled eggs. French onion soup was good with the appropriate amount for gruyere and bread and soup. The deviled eggs was their signature appetizer. It was good but not as silly as others we have had. The trout caviar gave it a nice pop and taste. For mains, we ordered the steak frites and short rib beef bouginon. Presentation-wise, the NY strip was sliced and had extras like rosemary butter, grilled garlic and onion. The bad is that it looked and tasted like a cheap cut of NY strip. There was sinew running halfway in the middle of the steak so made it tough to chew. I started discarding those pieces. The fries were delicious... and we ordered the truffle version with an upcharge. For the beef bouginon, the beef was tender but came in one big chunk. I've not see it served that way before. Beef was stringy and considering it's supposed to be short rib, it was lean IMO. The stew was decent with chunks of potato, carrot and pearl onions. For dessert, we ordered the Profilotores and Blueberry parfait. Thought the Profilotores was yummy! Paired with big scoops of ice cream makes it had to beat. The parfait was a soft cheesecake with big blueberry and sauce for toppings. It was a good choice... delicious as well. Overall, ambiance and service were great! The food esp the mains were a disappointment. Hope they spend a little more for a better cut of beef. Hard to justify going back unless somebody asks to go. Giving 4 stars as ambiance and service were 5/5 and food were 3/5.

The restaurant is elegant, the food was delicious, and the entire experience was outstanding. We started our date night with a refreshing bottle of Raimbault et Fils Sancerre Vignerons, paired with a variety of appetizers, including shrimp ceviche, Wagyu empanadas, Wagyu sliders, a wedge salad, and both East Coast and Gulf oysters. Every dish was perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. To end the evening, we followed Alberto's recommendation and ordered the chocolate soufflé, served with vanilla ice cream. The dessert was perfectly balanced, rich yet not overly sweet, making it the ideal finale to an exceptional meal. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant. From the impeccable service to the outstanding cuisine and inviting atmosphere, it was a memorable experience, and we look forward to returning soon.

I went during lunch, and it wasn't too busy, which was a plus. We made a reservation because I had heard this place gets packed. I got the potato croquette, the steak frites (which was +$24), and the chocolate dome. The potato croquette was phenomenal, and I really enjoyed it. It was crispy with a soft interior, and the sauce tasted like a tomato bisque, which paired really well with it. The steak frites, on the other hand, was not good. I'm used to steak frites being cut already, which isn't a big deal, but this steak was WELL DONE when I ordered medium rare. The waitress did offer to make me another one since I only ate two bites, but I don't like sending food back. So, I just kept it, didn't eat it, and still paid for it. :( The chocolate dome was good. The flavors were decent, and I liked the texture. The cappuccino was bland and boring. I don't think I'll be going back here.

The lack of valet parking isn't a total loss because there's a lot across the street and a garage around the corner, also free event parking at the curb. With a party of 4 adults and 2 kiddos, we were able to have a comfortable meal with plenty of space for wiggling feet. The menu itself offers so much, it was honestly difficult to choose! Everything sounded worth having on a plate, but HRW is best enjoyed with indulgence in mind. One can never go wrong with a salad as a starter, and the Filet Wellington was so tender. The pastry case was so light and flaky, really tied each bite together. And that sauce, bottle it. Lastly, dessert. This apple tart was indeed fine. The ice cream brought sweetness to the tart without overpowering the apples, and not a crumb was left. Service really allowed for the meal to be enjoyed. I felt like I could've sat for hours, and a glass of Rosé certainly helped. Also a reservation, avoided a wait time entirely!

Our group of 5 was able to snag the lone round table, but there was still plenty of room in general. The menu was much more vast than I expected, ranging from affordable, light, brunchy plates to pricey entrees, as well as breakfast, lunch, and brunch. Truly something for everyone. The fries looked scrumptious in Yelp photos, so I went with the vegetarian omelette with a side of fries. I was so pleased with the whole meal...I did not leave a single bite behind. And it only cost $12! I really enjoyed the aioli with the fries. These were not frozen fries, that's for sure. The omelette was perfect! It was packed full of sautéed onions, mushroom, bell peppers, tomatoes, and cheese. We split a crepe for dessert with chocolate, strawberries, and whipped cream. It was the perfect dessert because it wasn't too heavy, but yet the crepe had substance. Our server was polite and the ambiance was quaint. There were lots of antique-looking clocks on top of the bar, which was really cool. Also the restaurant was not loud by any means, which is exceedingly rare nowadays. Our whole group enjoyed our meal, and it was so nice to try somewhere different. I'm definitely going to bring others to try Cafe Brussels, and would definitely recommend it for groups.

TLDR: Worth a visit if you're in the area?…read more Wow! Hidden gem? Forgotten favorite? I don't know, but after tasting the food, we have to get the word out about this spot. Arriving around lunchtime on a weekday, I had the place to myself which allowed me a unique opportunity to take the place in. That being said, this spot is not overly French cafe themed, but instead a classic suburban strip mall spot with nods to the French peppered throughout the menu and decor. The booth area is well-designed, the spot was clean and the table touched by light so after a great experience chatting with the cashier I was crossing my fingers, hoping the food matched the vibe. I had a crepe Mexicana (because who has ever heard of that?!), a croque monsieur with tomato soup, and a dessert crepe because y'all know I always save room for dessert. It took a minute to be prepared, but I'm willing to wait for a fresh made meal. Everything, was delicious. Crepe texture was on point, and each crepe was stuffed to the Gods. Positive experience all around. My tip: Order the tomato soup and finish your meal with the following combo- a dessert Crepe Almonds with strawberries. Trust me on that one!

They are thick but airy at the same time I am so pleased we stopped by! 5 out of 5 We also got a latte and this isn't like your American one that has a ton of sugar but stronger on the coffee side and was well done. It is a 5 stars for hitting that goal but it's not something I like so personally would put it at 4 out of 5 stars . But I highly encourage you to try it your self and make your own judgement!
