text: This is a bit tough to review because for the most part I enjoyed myself at Bier Markt until later that evening when I got sick Unfortunately food poisoning is an automatic star in my books nnFirst the good The building is very nice Its a new construction with a very classy retro interior although their enthusiasm for all things Belgian is over the top more on that later We were seated on the second floor near the staircase They have different types of beer or so on tap and the menu is really good about explaining the beers and providing food pairing suggestions A great place for those of us who support beer getting the same love as wine or scotch Our server was also very friendly and helpful and food was delivered in a timely matter too timely as it turned out We started by sharing a short rib Poutine that was excellent and for a main my girlfriend had a flammekouch a pizza esque creation that she said was excellent I went for the very Belgian moules frites in a white wine and shallot sauce Very promisingnnNow the bad When I mentioned the food came too quick it was because quite a few of the mussels were undercooked I am not a mussel connoisseur and I already had a couple of beers in me so I did not really notice at first I thought they were just really fresh When my girlfriend tried a couple she noticed the undercookedness by which point it was too late Fortunately I have a tough stomach but two days later I am still feeling a bit nauseated It happens that sometimes a couple of mussels are not cooked but to have almost half of them is no good One last comment is that they are disturbingly enthusiastic about the peeing boy statue There is a giant replica on the front of the place and another overlooking the stairs which have the statue pointed over your head a tad creepynnIts too bad that my experience ended the way it did because this place actually is pretty good just avoid the mussels
