On Sundays and Mondays $17 gets you a Stella Artois and ALL YOU CAN EAT MUSSELS (they offer 6 varieties). Buyer beware, Anthony Bourdain says Sunday & Monday are the worst days to eat restaurant seafood. Service was great, very patient, but I’d sooner return for one of their 12 rotating Belgian beers than for a burger.

This bad boy must have had at least 4 thick slices of American Cheese on it because it was the dominant flavor throughout the burger. This would be fine if the cheese was a little more well done. It did make for some good bacon/cheese bites, however, especially when there was no burger left between the buns.

I went with a $6 glass of Ommegang Witte. It was light, crisp, and tasty. It made for some quality post-meal burps. Sorry ladies. It’s also brewed in Cooperstown, New York, home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. And as a huge baseball fan, I’ll admit this was a selling point for me. BXL’s menu describes the Ommegang as: “Belgian-style white ale brewed with orange peel and coriander. Hazy, unfiltered wheat beer. Light and refreshing.” For the laymen, Blue Moon is a similar white ale, albeit a less crisp and refreshing one.
