The Green Onion Ghent was the perfect spot for my son’s wedding rehearsal luncheon. The owner and staff were welcoming, flexible, and truly went above and beyond — from creating a custom menu to helping us decorate in advance. The food and service were exceptional, and our guests loved it. A wonderful experience all around!

Went here last night for the first time. Really enjoyed myself. Erica, the bartender, was friendly and helpful. The food was wonderful! The staff is nice. Nice happy hour. Nice wine and beer selection. Great indoor space and wonderful outdoor space. We met Annette, the owner, and she was welcoming. Definitely will be back.

I had a wonderful date here. We wanted someplace nice before going to a movie at the Naro. This place was tucked down at the corner and I’m glad we checked it out. Danielle, our server, on point the whole meal through. Our drinks were never empty and she recommended us a good wine too. We were enjoying ourselves so much we almost forgot about our movie. We’ll definitely be coming back soon.

I stopped in one afternoon for a quick solo lunch, and to my surprise I wound up having a few glasses of wine with some of the regulars that frequent there and striking up some wonderful conversations with the staff!
I had ordered the fried calamari and their 1603 burger, and I was very pleased by the portion size, as well as the quality! My burger was cooked to perfection and plated beautifully, and the calamari was fried crispy on the outside and still tender on the inside.
I’ll be sure to make time to pop back in soon!

Delicious! Been there twice so far. Had the steak frites the first time and a burger the second time. The fries are cooked too perfection and the steak was so good. Good sized portions and the drinks were great. Perfect place for a date night or just out with friends. I would definitely recommend to others. Also the service was awesome both times and the server was very attentive.

When I walk by it always looks empty, but we went to dinner and really enjoyed the food and nice staff. The crab cakes were great but the sides were less so. The ratatouille was good but just not served in a super cute way. Cocktails were great! I got the Diabolo with mint and lavender.
I would go again for sure!

They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating but we liked the seating inside. The area is pretty open with nice couches if you have to wait and the bar is full. The food was really tasty and the serving sizes were pretty large. I could have skipped the appetizer as there was plenty with the where but the crab poutine was amazing. The waitress was really nice too.

Quiet little spot for dinner. The truffle fries and steak au poivre were fantastic. Our server Kristina was very polite and attentive as was the rest of the staff. Perfect for date night.

Mixed review. Some dishes good… Some not so much. Should have killer crowd so what’s going? The food is nice selection. The risotto is possibly best I have had. Burger eh. Husband reported lobster roll as amazing
