My fiancee and I have had several nice meals here. It isn't cheap, but it's a good meal out.
Their poultry and prawns have been especially good each time, the beef and pork less notable (at most restaurants, the chicken is bland and the beef tasty, but here it seems to be the reverse). Dessert recommended, as we've enjoyed all of them.
Service is friendly, and the atmosphere up front is quite nice. Towards the back, they might want to arrange their kitchen counter differently: it's stacked with dishes, silverware, coffee makers, etc, and that blocks the view of the "open" kitchen while making the tables in the rear feel as if they're part of the serving line. Ask for a spot up front!

Most Asian restaurants serve the same food as the ones in the next neighborhood. Not here. The dishes are complex and inventive, and not what you've seen dozens of times before.
They're also delicious! Everything I've had has been good, so I can't make specific recommendations besides suggesting that you get one curry, since that seems to be their specialty. Returning here brings up the best dining dilemma, when you have to choose between getting what blew you away last time or trying something new.

It's such a pleasure to come in and look around without being after anything in particular. The space is inviting, the selection first rate, and the staff is good for recommendations. Adding used books to their collection a few years ago has made a good spot even better.

Good coffee, good cheeses, good folks, this is how the best delis are back East. And they have real Italian cannoli!

I hate to say anything poor about a neat new place, but they need to address their food.
It was the worst meal I can recall. Three of us, without discussing it, quietly pushed our (different) meals away from us after a few bites. Soggy fries, slimy fried fish ("greasy" is ok for batter-dipped fish, but this was not ok).
Indifferent service, and to cap it off, no Belgian beers on tap! We came on a night when they were featuring domestic barely wine styles, which is nice, but shouldn't they keep one of their taps for their signature beers?
I did return another night for a beer -- wouldn't try the food again -- and it was good, and the place does have a nice atmosphere. They just need to whip up the kitchen...
