They did not want to give us tab water (even if we ordered a lot of other stuff) and they said it was weird? to order just water for drinks? ( we did get the water) At least we got a few free appetizers... For the food alone I would give 5 stars!! But because of the customer service, only one because they did not even inform us that it would take long to get our food when we arrived.

They were advertising Lowlander beer so we took this opportunity to try the different flavors of Lowlander. Only one was on tap, however, so all the other flavors came from bottles and were poured into the glass. This was a positive note from our dinner. I was most disappointed in the food. Maybe this is my fault because I ordered the poke bowl. They had all types of food but this is what I went with. Something wasn't quite right with the fish. Based on this experience with the food, and the plethora of other options in Groningen, I won't likely return soon.

Dislikes: wait staff was completely self absorbed and rude. Strange system of only being able to order with the female waitstaff. When it came to paying, we were not allowed to pin outdoors whilst a neighbouring table could so we were sent in to pay at the counter. Only to get a disgruntled staff who was not happy that we were sent in to pay. WTF! Also NOT dog-friendly. 1 communal bowl which was almost empty and sitting in the full sun next to the entrance, means you have to navigate your dog through the crowd to get to it. Our waitress also stepped on our dog's paws... Stupid approach to pet owners given your cafe is smack in the middle of a large park in Groningen.

Two stars Michelin restaurant where the executive chef still cooks every day, and the restaurant…read moremade you feel like home and so comfortable! Amazing! "See, this called kitchen Ferrari stove, this is particularly good because ..." known as one of the best restaurants in the Netherlands, when Restaurant de Lindenhof chef Martin Martin Kruithof realized that my bf is also a chef, he passionately introduced his kitchen to us. Different from the general Michelin restaurant, after awarded two stars, chef Martin still cooks. They host guests to visit the kitchen from time to time, sit in the kitchen, and welcomes children to the restaurant, and all of these are intended to give guests a "Michelin cuisine, but to your feelings like home" feeling. As soon as we sat down, 7 courses free appetizers were served. Amazing! Seven! Some of them reminded us the day-to-day Dutch food but is just so delicious and well-made in fresh ingredients and skillful details. I love one that looks like Japanese hand roll - the raw fish on top was fresh and the style was so cute. The fried tomato on top of lemon ice cream was a surprise and I loved it! We selected 12 course "Martin's choice" and it came with duck, sweetbread, crab, beef, fish, and many more. The sweetbread tastes like Asian marinated sauces, which we loved it. The crab covered with sauces which was made as shaved iced. The ice which made with sauces melted in my mouth along with the fresh crab. Awesome. Duck liver was also very tasty even I usually don't eat duck liver. The lobster soup was very strong and you felt like eating a real lobster. Only small issue is that we got a small piece of crab shell on our plate. The coffee ice cream tiramisu was great. I personally think the lemon ice cream was too bitter but my bf loved it. We are so lucky and honored to visit Martin's kitchen and amazingly they only have 5 staff. So clean, so many different sauces from various countries, and chef Martin is so passionate and still experimenting new dishes using new ingredients. Of course, services was awesome. I think the executive chef/owner Martin was not working for winning Michelin. However, doing something he loves with passion and do it to the best, then the honor and awards came. I learned an amazing lesson tonight at this Michelin star restaurant.

The salads are huge and well constructed, and come with fries! I can't speak to most of the menu (apart from fries and a few seafood specials I've had), but it all looks good (even if half the menu is hamburgers and bar food). Not 100% a "grand café" as it claims, but it will do. It's also one of the few places where an American credit card works with "tap" (iphone or card) no problem.
