We dropped off our little frame with our mothers in it. The server originally asked us to place it wherever we see fit, but the owner (she has the manager vibe) came over and helped us picked an even better spot! Service was what I thought was slow, but then we learned that Dutch people are very customer-focused, so we had to initiate an eye contact and signal to them that we are ready to close our check. I also found out that tipping is not required. Who would have thought? Oh, and also water is not free. Lastly, be sure to make a reservation because this place very packed for the duration of our meal and some people got turned away.

If you are sharing a meal with someone, get items from a different prix-fixe menu and you can both try a variety of items. We enjoyed: * Charcuterie plate: sausages taste minimally processed and delicious * Beef and onion stew: taste slightly different than ones in America * Cauliflower and cheese oven bake: vegetarian's comfort food * Hutspot (mashed potatoes and carrots) and meatballs: non-vegetarian's comfort food * Pea soup with smoked ham For desserts, we had chocolate mousse and vlaflip (vanilla custard) and they were just okay. I'm not sure if desserts are the Dutch's strengths, except maybe the Dutch apple pie. They even bottle their own house beer. The restaurant is small. Try to make a reservation if you can. We didn't have a reservation, but went to the restaurant at around 5PM and were seated in about 15 minutes. At times, the line could get very long, but the staff is still welcoming and ensures that everyone gets served...eventually.

Portions are substantial and a very good value in a neighborhood where tourist-markups are the norm. They have a/c, but in order to feel it you'll need to sit closer to the back of the restaurant/near the kitchen, as there is only one wall unit back there, and they leave the front of the restaurant open to the elements (even in 98+ degree heat).

The highlights of the meal were the sea bream sashimi and mushroom dishes but I believe their menu is seasonal so no guarantee they will have it.

It came with sides of boiled potatoes, cabbage and brussels sprouts. Portions were surprisingly large as they give you generous portions of sides. We had plenty of leftovers to take back. I'm not an expert on Dutch cuisine so I can't comment on the authenticity or the quality, but it was tasty. The beef and chicken were a bit on the salty side but paired well with the basic sides.

The side of boiled cabbage and spinach felt pretty healthy too, consistency was on thicker side like a roux but not buttery. Our servers were nice and checked in to see how the food tasted or if we needed anything else. Only thing I'd flag was the bathroom, it's a very small space. The sink is right next to toilet which is 2 inches away from the door, so anyone that's really tall will have a hard time fitting/maneuvering. Good luck!
