You can really notice they're going for a Michelin star and they're well on their way. As for the…read morefood, they're not quite there yet. The combinations work mostly, but some of the dishes on the safe side and sometimes they're lacking in execution (e.g. the iberico pork was slightly too salty and the plum sauce was perhaps a little bit too sour). Still, they get 5***** because of the extraordinary service. Although we dined through a special deal, never did we get the impression we received any lesser service. Moreover, when my dinner date hardly touched his desert because he didn't want to load up on on sugar (as if the all bread and beurre sel he gulfed down earlier that evening didn't contain any carbs.....sugar is evil, right......oi vey, men and their diets) the staff was kind enough to offer a cheese platter instead, with the option of me still attacking on the snubbed desert. So, a standing ovation for the service and a hooray for the food....

As our first experience was so good, we went again at the 12th of August…read more Reception and service again excellent. Food absolutely delicious! We took again the Menu of the chef for 79,50 EUR. As starters there were little rolls of veal with truffled mayonnaise, oyster with red beet sorbet and a tatar from tunafish. First course was tatar from seabass with jalapeno-pepper, scallops and a little orangeice, acoompanied by a piece of roasted skin from chicken and a puree from avocados. Creative and very thoughtful combination. Second jumboshrimps in a light potatoe nest with spinach and a fine cream of vegetables aside served in the shell of the shrimp. Excellent in presentation and taste. Main course the fillet of venison with its sauce, perfectly cooked. A peachsorbet with mint tea finished that perfect dinner. As last time the perfectly chosen wine-service offered with the menu was a simple pleasure. ( 39,50EUR ) Strongly recommended to go there!

The best cocktails in town if you ask me! They have the biggest cocktail menu and they even have…read morebig bowls and buckets they fill with a specific cocktail to share. You can also ask the waiters to fill a big bowl with a different cocktail. The prices are lower than avarage. The atmosphere inside is very cozy and they usually have good music playing in the background, at night they turn the music a bit louder. Outside they have normal tables and chairs but also lounge couches with heaters. The service could be better though. It's often quite slow!

We were able to get seated right on the window area. We chose menu 5, which was just enough for two people. Everything was delicious! Their pea soup is out of this world. Don't know why as it is a simple dish but wow! I also love their herring. It was so delicious that I wanted seconds. It paired so well with their onions and mustard. And their bitterballen was just enough bite. Creamy and crispy! We also got a combination of the hutspot. They were all delicious! Although for me the meatball was just a tad bit salty but it is probably just me! Everything else was spot on. I love their dessert at the end. It was a great way to end the night. Our server and their staff were all amazing! Very friendly and welcoming. Yes it is a tourist spot but totally worth it.

This restaurant was on my wish list for places to definitely go while visiting Amsterdam. We…read morefinally went for lunch yesterday after our walking tour. Reservation recommended. We did not have one but they were happy to seat the 2 of us and invited us to switch tables once another couple left (they were checking out). Small space, can accommodate groups of 2-4, cozy atmosphere, lots of the traditional blue and white ceramics on the wall (dishes and tiles). Traditional Dutch cuisine: we ordered the Boerenkoolstamppot with smoked sausage and Zuurkoolstamppot with smoked sausage and a slice of apple pie to share for dessert. The food arrived piping hot in about 20 minutes. It was sooo delicious--the tasty juicy sausage pairs perfectly the mashed potatoes with either sauerkraut or kale. The apple pie was also tasty--larger chunks of apple and more spices less sugar than American apple pie from what I can tell. Perfect with whipped cream. A must visit if you're in Amsterdam and want to try traditional fare. Highly recommended!
