It is hip trendy not too trendy that you would feel intimidated. Eye candy... well well ladies for sure your eyes will be confortable. People watching, easy and comfortable clothing, concrete floor, heels not necessary. The menu is easy, the drink are simple and reasonably priced.

Would I recommend this spot? Yes for sure, the space is large and easy. I need to check it again when it is not raining.

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.

The reservations are in time blocks--so everyone enters together at the reservation time. It is orderly, not a mad rush, but they are serious about the reservation timing. We ordered Menu 3 (pictured) which was excellent for comfort food: --Trio of Dutch sausages, bread, Amsterdam pickles, and mustard --Hachee served with red cabbage and mashed potatoes --Chocolate duo with advocaat (chocolate mousse and ice cream) To get the reservation, we had to wait at our computer on the day the reservations open, then book immediately. It was hard reservation to get, but very much worth it.

We came here to surprise my friend for her birthday in October as it was a close restaurant to our hotel and airport. The staff were absolutely amazing and accommodating and the food was so good!

I still think about that dish every day and wish the chef could give me their recipe. If you are in the area, you must visit!! All the other dishes my friends ordered were quite delicious as well. Great job to the owners and staff for making our visit so memorable.

It can be similar to a chef's table experience where you will recieve several courses including surprise complementary appetizers wherein the server gives a quick explanation of how each dish is prepared.

I loved that the menu is very seasonal and had plenty of options for our group, which included a vegetarian and someone who doesn't eat lactose (me hehe).

Raised with roots in Indonesia, a cuisine more common in The Netherlands than other European nations, guests visiting Daalder are offered a choice of Tasting Menus versus a la carte courses, though the later also includes a few complimentary bites such as "Nigiri" of bruleed Salmon atop a delicate Meringue. Also serving "Satay" shaped like a Peanut and Bao topped by Thai Shrimp, plus a generous portion of Fried Chicken with Caviar, proper Appetizers comprise Octopus with pearls of Pasta, Grapefruit and Mushrooms or Langoustines in a vibrant Bisque. Not forgetting hot pull-apart Brioche alongside stamped Butter, spendy but worthy, Entrees include seasonal Lamb brightened by Miso and Orange plus locally caught Cod and Huwaë's signature Beet Ravioli with Spinach filling.

The oyster was delicious and very creamy. The butter was excellent. The desserts were a bit lacking.
