    We have been to Waterzooi many times, but not in the past few years. Unfortunately the quality of the food has declined. They are known for their Mussels which had been wonderful. Besides the fact that we have never seen such tiny, tiny mussels ever, the flavor of the sauces were just lacking. Onion soup was ok, not great. Oysters ok. Waitress was nice but forgot to place our soup order so it didn’t come until we asked about it. Always noisy but knew that. Will not be returning.

    Loved the food and had very good service. But it’s very loud and the tables are closely spaced. Made conversation difficult but I’d certainly go back on a weeknight when it might be less crowded.

    Mussels are spectacular and plentiful. Lobster bisque is equally special and worth the price. Staff are very professional.

    The food was excellent! The service was very good but the noise level was much louder than I had remembered. Still recommended and I would go back

    Overall wonderful experience with the quality and excellent service and food. Quite noisy but once some people left it got better. Expected since it was so crowded and full of customers dining.
