Saint-Laurent, le

Complete bait and switch! First, we ordered a $ 35 bottle of wine. They tried to pass off a cheaper bottle to us; but I rejected it. Waiter smirked and brought us what he claimed was an even more expensive bottle than we ordered. It was actually good.
The food however, was inedible. The seafood platter shown for $ 25 per person with lobster in the picture, but is actually $ 45 when ordered. The lobster was small, (2 bites worth) and mushy looking. I did not attempt to eat it. The shrimp was also soggy. I ate only 1 piece of shrimp. They actually came over to put more food from the tower on my plate and I dismissed them. Didn’t even attempt to eat the mussels. When we tried to talk with them about this; they could no longer speak English! Our only bad meal while in Europe!
CUSTOMERS BEWARE! DISPUTE AT THE RESTAURANT BEFORE YOU LEAVE. ONCE YOU SIGN YOUR CREDIT CARD RECEIPT. YOU AGREE TO PAY AND CANNOT DISPUTE CHARGES LATER!!! They got $ 106.40 from me.

The servers do their best to pull you in from the street. Once you taste the food, you know why. It is like eating a napkin. There is absolutely no flavor to the food at all and the prices are outrageous. If the food was good, I wouldn’t mind, not the case here. I wouldn’t recommend this place to feed a dog.

What a show! We were pressured into sitting down to fill the seats in the front of the restaurant (not a uncommon practice). Out of desperation they gave us a lower price for our set meal + a round of beers. All sounds good which is why we did sit down. Then we waited… We should have known it was in their best interest to not serve us quickly.
We waited 30 minutes to receive very old mussels and extremely bland paella. The table adjacent to us had the same miserable food and commented to us that they had already returned theirs back to the kitchen. We also complained and sent ours back. After waiting another 30 mins the mussels were much better.

Literally the worst service we have experienced in our entire lives. This is not an exaggeration. So much effort to get us to sit down and once we did, we felt like we didn’t exist in the restaurant. Entrée was ok. Waited half an hour for our main to come out, asked the waiter where it was and he said he’d check. He didn’t have the courtesy to communicate what was going on and had us wait another 20 min before it came (just as we were about to walk out). Main was not great. Finished our main and we sat there for almost another half an hour waiting for them to collect our plates. Waiters were doing nothing and continued to ignore us. We didn’t wait for dessert so we threw some money on the table and walked out. We have never done this before so it should tell you something.

High pressure sales to get you to sit down. Once you sit down the amazing service you think you will get goes away.
Ordered the mussels with cream sauce which were really good. Some bad ones I. The batch but for the most part good.
Was offered a free drink for eating there. They forgot that I the bill so bought me a 2^nd one. Fair enough.

This place is located with many others side by side in the narrow streets of Old Town Brussels. Chose it, as the guy hussling people into the restaurant was not as aggressive as some of t he others on the street. It was during world cup week, so they had a big screen TV up and I was alone so was able to watch the game. Had the tomato salad to start, large portion (not too many tomatoes, however), but the dressing was good. The filet of Sole was for my main course — it was fantastic… cooked perfectly and was easy to move away the bones. Atmosphere was like the many other restaurants on this street, however i chose to eat inside as i the tables on the street/​walkway are so close toghether you feel like your in someone elses conversation!
