I really really enjoy this place. I've been coming here every time I'm in Amsterdam since 2007. I love the cozy fire in the corner where a chef is cooking things all night. The place has a welcoming feel to it, and makes me feel like I should drink and talk the night away.
I LOVE the food. Omg. Omg. I really love it. To quote Old School, it tastes so good when it hits your lips!!!!
I always start with the mushroom appetizer. If it isn't broke, then don't fix it, right! I'm sure other stuff is great, but this.....it's so freakin delicious, I have to have it. Last night it was just as delicious as I remember. Gooey cheese, creamy sauce and mushrooms = fantastic! I've had the vegetarian zucchini dish a bunch of times and that too is outstanding. As is the goat cheese salad. Last night though I tried the fish bake. It was similar in a way to the creamy delicious mushroom appetizer so I was very happy with that.
My husband got the surf and turf. He enjoyed as did I. Our friends had the weiner schnitzel (I don't like the word schnitzel, so I didn't try) and the spare ribs. The ribs were very nice too.
The portions are rather nice. Not overly gigantic but not snobby and minute. The prices are not cheap but not expensive either. You will get a delicious meal that is tasty, filling and made with love in my opinion. All entrees come with fried potatoes and 2 dipping sauces, a baked potato with sour cream, a salad and some kind of veggie.
The service has always been at least good to a few times excellent. That doesn't mean fast though. Service is slower than I am used to but it's always been pleasant here.
The bathrooms are clean and the place is huge. They get pretty crowded so I always always ALWAYS make reservations.
I highly recommend this place. I've never had a bad time or a bad meal! read more
