Wonderful dinner with old friends this evening at De Zwaan! The food, the drinks, the service was great! Top notch guys. Waiter was very helpful with our beer selections. The Staff was polite and very kind to a bunch of Americans. Three of got the Maastricht stew (the name I can't recall), which was amazing. The side salads were perfect, fresh and mixed with some seasonal veggies. The sides of fries were placed in one big bowl, which saved table space and actually allowed for easier sharing and serving around the table. Our fourth friend has severe allergies, so his salmon required extra care by the chef and staff. They handled those particular issues very well. He liked his meal and very satisfied. We shared a cheese platter for desert. Such good cheeses and a good variety too. The grapes and figs were a bit on the sad side, but they were a garnish to the tray. All around we had a good time and would certainly return to try more beers and other menu items. read more
