This is a relatively new place in The Hague. Probably now a few months old, just in middle of town…read more First of all, I love the location on the Buitenhof. Nice place, loads of space to leave your bike outside, in the middle of the centre, hence also shopping area. As for the cafe itself, there's a nice relaxed atmosphere. Mixing some old materials, nice touch. Coffee is good, some cakes also (only tried to cookie, but the rest looks great). They also offer sanwdiches, nibbles, wine, etc... As for the service: efficient and friendly.

It is hard to put into words what I liked so much about this little neighborhood spot. I think it…read morewas the fact that it felt like I was going over to a friend's house for dinner. The fact that it was small and cozy created an intimate atmosphere. The lighting added to the intimacy making it a warm, serene refuge on a cold night. Being waited on by one of the two friendly people working the small dining area added to the aura. It made the experience more personalized, like we just walked into his house and he asked what he could get us from his kitchen to eat. "Come in, sit down for a while, warm up and let me get you something to eat and drink". It was as though the people there were having a relaxed, pleasant evening together and we were invited to join. The location also had something to do with the appeal as well. This was our first visit to city centre Delft. The narrow streets that lined canals replete with strategic lighting made this brick-laden city an absolute delight to wander. As an American, this place presented an ambiance unlike what we'd see at home. It was a step back in time in time and a step into everyday Dutch life. This somewhat off-the-radar city offers the type of character that you hope to experience as part of your travels. We visited at around 8 PM on a Monday. It was not at all busy and we were able to find a seat with no problem. The ambiance, as suggested above, was very inviting and quite relaxed. The menu for this restaurant was short but featured several creative choices with local twists (in different ways). My wife chose the Goat Cheese Salad, which featured a plentiful serving with nice greens along with other vegetables and nice add-ins such as pecans. I opted for the Indonesian-inspired Chicken Satay, which was served with fries and salad. Again, the serving was more than enough. We both were very happy with our dinners. My wife enjoyed a homemade lemonade to drink while I was quite satisfied with one of their red wines (Corte Ortone Brindisi). The final bill was €57.50, or €28.75 per person. Given the quality of the food and the overall experience, I thought this was a reasonable value. I would definitely try this place again if we return to Delft.

If you ever find yourself in The Hague for business or pleasure, this restaurant is absolute…read moreperfection. I am not joking when I say that I want to fly back to the Netherlands purely to eat here again someday. We were looking for a place to eat that was within walking distance of The Hague Marriott. When another restaurant on the same street was all booked up for the evening, we found The Old Jazz. It was still before 1900 and not crowded. (However, every table was filled by the time we departed.) I am so thankful that the other restaurant was full, as this was a meal I will remember for years to come. I started with the salmon and tuna sashimi and my friend chose a crispy pita with bell pepper aioli. The fish was so fresh that I felt like I was back in Hawai'i enjoying a freshly-caught meal on the water's edge. My friend--notorious for being a very picky eater and never eating sushi--even tried the sashimi and ate a whole piece of tuna. The dish also featured wakame, a homemade kimchi-like veggie blend, sprouts, rice puffs, ginger, and wasabi (and not the packaged kind). My friend was thrilled with the pita. We also enjoyed some cocktails as starters. I really liked my elderflower spritzer to begin the meal. Although everything sounded delicious as a main course, I opted for the truffle rigatoni with the lobster. You know those dishes where you involuntarily close your eyes with every bite because it's so good that it almost overwhelms your senses? The balance of the dish was perfect: salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and umami were all represented in harmony. If it wouldn't have been poor form, I likely would have licked the dish clean to savor every last note of flavor. Our waiter had also suggested a lovely glass of wine to go with the dish, and the recommendation was perfect. We absolutely had to order dessert to end the meal, opting for the moelleux au chocolate with a white chocolate crumble, vanilla mousse, and what was described as a "pure chocolate" ice cream. Again, this final dish was heavenly, and I wanted to pack the chef in my suitcase so I could enjoy this incredible experience again. Throughout the meal, the service was sublime. Every recommendation from our waiter was perfect, from the wine pairings to dishes that might interest us. I am immensely grateful that we stumbled upon The Old Jazz. Someday, I will find a way to return to The Hague, perhaps just so I can dine here again!

He couldn't even finish his plate of fries, (and he is a big eater so that was really a good sign). We sat in the part where the roof could also be open, but it's winter time so it's closed. The couches we're quite hard for sitting on them for a long time. There also was a fire decoration on every table that really heated up the room and created a nice vibe inside the restaurant itself. Definitely worth another visit!
