Intimate Belgian-inflected spot with great food. Moules et frites and steak-frites are joined by fondue, sandwiches, salads and the popular "V burger," Fountain Prairie beef topped with Muenster cheese and beer-battered onion straws. 26 taps (strong in Belgian and unique European imports, and American craft brews), outstanding list of bottled beers, wines by the glass. $6-$25.
