My
husband
and
I
stumbled
upon
'Belgian
Café'
while
looking
for
a
place
to
enjoy
a
meal,
and
the
menu
piqued
our
interest.
Having
had
excellent
experiences
at
the
Dubai
branch,
we
decided
to
give
the
Doha
location
a
try.
Our
dining
experience
started
off
on
a
slightly
rocky
note
as
we
were
initially
served
by
Kristine.
It
seemed
like
she
might
have
been
new
to
the
job,
as
her
service
came
off
as
robotic,
lacking
in
suggestion
skills,
and
somewhat
inflexible
when
it
came
to
taking
our
order.
When
we
attempted
to
discuss
our
order,
she
responded
in
a
manner
that
was
less
than
ideal,
suggesting
we
should
order
differently.
However,
the
situation
took
a
positive
turn
when
the
manager
intervened,
acknowledging
the
shortcomings
in
the
service.
We
weren't
looking
for
a
freebie,
but
the
manager
was
gracious
enough
to
remove
the
extra
dish
from
our
bill.
We
truly
appreciated
this
proactive
response.
Despite
the
initial
hiccup,
the
food
itself
was
delightful.
The
mussels,
both
the
500g
wine
Mussels
and
500g
lemon/garlic/butter
Mussels,
were
delicious,
and
the
Bitterballen
was
fantastic.
The
pickles
that
accompanied
the
serving
added
a
nice
touch
to
the
meal.
The
restaurant
maintained
a
high
level
of
cleanliness
and
overall
presentation.
While
our
initial
server,
Kristine,
left
much
to
be
desired,
the
other
staff
members
around
us
more
than
made
up
for
it.
They
were
attentive,
friendly,
and
always
had
a
smile
on
their
faces.
We
look
forward
to
returning
to
'Belgian
Café'
because
there
are
still
so
many
mouthwatering
dishes
on
the
menu
that
we'd
love
to
try,
such
as
the
green
curry.
In
summary,
our
visit
had
a
bit
of
a
rough
start,
but
thanks
to
the
swift
and
assertive
response
of
the
manager,
we
left
with
a
positive
overall
impression.
The
food
and
the
ambiance
were
highlights,
and
we're
excited
to
return
for
more
culinary
adventures
in
the
future.
