I give this restaurant a definite five. It is not a 5 star upscale kind of restaurant. But very decent, very spacious with very friendly staff. Above every thing, these guys impressed me well beyond my expectations with the kind of attention, care and quality of food they served. I am a vegetarian and usually I don't have much options. I end up settling for something ordinary because most of the restaurants don't have very many options. But these guys were very attentive to my requirements and went beyond their call of duty. I expected an ordinary salad with romaine lettuce as I was bored of eating house salads made with Iceberg lettuce. They delivered a gourmet romaine salad that went way beyond my expectations. Next came my main entree. Vegetarian Lasagna. I expected a basic Lasagna with tomato sauce. But when it was served, I was just amazed at the quality of the preparation. It's the best vegetarian Lasagna I ever had. Period. Just the day before I was in the gastronomical capital of the world, Paris, for a business trip. Not having much choice I ordered the same but what I got was just tasty and delicious. I expected that out of any restaurant in Paris. But this in Amsterdam? I never expected. I stayed in the hotel next door and wanted to just get a quick dinner as I have an early morning flight back to US. But this is the most delicious meal I had in a very very long time.
The overall quality, portion size and over and above the way the plate was decorated - it was 7 star food. It was very very impressive. The best attention to my vegetarian requirements ever. I personally called the owner and expressed my thanks for such wonderful food. The sad part is that they don't have very many vegetarian menu items. I am very eager to get back and try every one of those listed and probably ask if their chef could do anything else as well. I am glad this restaurant is just next to the hotel I usually stay in Amsterdam. Can't wait to go back to this place. read more
