Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
B. Cafe is a charming neighborhood spot offering "fantastic food" and "authentic Belgian fare" that delights visitors. The "moules frites" are a standout, with an extensive Belgian beer selection complementing the menu. The garden room offers a serene dining experience. While service can be inconsistent, the "lovely outdoor garden" and "friendly staff" make it a worthwhile visit.

    Pretty place, and obviously popular. Noise level is awful, even in the garden. I was disappointed in the food, as the place was recommended for the food. The French Toast was dry, and not soaked enough or just not enough egg. The omelette was average. It took a long time to get our starter coffees, and at that time the were not full. Later, it became very bus and I know it was harder for the staff.

    Love this neighborhood place. They are a true gem on the UES and deserve to be frequented regularly. The beer selection is excellent as are the burgers and delectable fries- served Belgian style of course!! The staff is also friendly and attentive.

    Unfortunately we waited 45 minutes for our food, an apology wasn’t issued, and they didn’t do anything to check in on us. Such a bummer. :(I hope it was just an off day.

    We really loved the ambiance and the food! The one minor quibble we had was inside the music was too loud so we sat on the patio (which was fine and very nice! But especially during colder months, I'm not sure how much of an option that will be.
