gem of occoquan, the waffles are to die for!. if you know occoquan, you know that the whole place is just off, for some reason, it is dead, winter or summer. belgique gourmande, wich closed down, was no exception. but then cock and bowl arrived, and saved the day! i will go back to occoquan, just for them! the terrace they have is just great, and the wholeatmosphereis alive, in an otherwise kind of dead place. the wait staff is knowledgeable, the owner is kind and attentive, and the waffles were to die for, fluffy and not too sweet, just perfectt. we were really grateful we were allowed to stay on the patio just for desert, on a busy night, where people would have liked to stay there and maybe order much more than just 2 waffles. they have my favorite beer, duchesse de bourgogne, which is a truly wonderful beer. everything looked delicious at the other tables, from the mussels to the steak frites, and i must say i did not notice anything on the plates, when the waiter was clearing the tables around us. it was packed on a wednesday night, so it looked like all these people knew about this restaurant. the rest of occoquan, with their waterfront dining had one or two customers, and here they barely had one table for us. i am so happy i did not give up on occoquan, and went to cock and bowl! i am looking forward to going again, for a full meal, and a glass of duchesse de bourgogne!
