You can really notice they're going for a Michelin star and they're well on their way. As for the…read morefood, they're not quite there yet. The combinations work mostly, but some of the dishes on the safe side and sometimes they're lacking in execution (e.g. the iberico pork was slightly too salty and the plum sauce was perhaps a little bit too sour). Still, they get 5***** because of the extraordinary service. Although we dined through a special deal, never did we get the impression we received any lesser service. Moreover, when my dinner date hardly touched his desert because he didn't want to load up on on sugar (as if the all bread and beurre sel he gulfed down earlier that evening didn't contain any carbs.....sugar is evil, right......oi vey, men and their diets) the staff was kind enough to offer a cheese platter instead, with the option of me still attacking on the snubbed desert. So, a standing ovation for the service and a hooray for the food....

As our first experience was so good, we went again at the 12th of August…read more Reception and service again excellent. Food absolutely delicious! We took again the Menu of the chef for 79,50 EUR. As starters there were little rolls of veal with truffled mayonnaise, oyster with red beet sorbet and a tatar from tunafish. First course was tatar from seabass with jalapeno-pepper, scallops and a little orangeice, acoompanied by a piece of roasted skin from chicken and a puree from avocados. Creative and very thoughtful combination. Second jumboshrimps in a light potatoe nest with spinach and a fine cream of vegetables aside served in the shell of the shrimp. Excellent in presentation and taste. Main course the fillet of venison with its sauce, perfectly cooked. A peachsorbet with mint tea finished that perfect dinner. As last time the perfectly chosen wine-service offered with the menu was a simple pleasure. ( 39,50EUR ) Strongly recommended to go there!

The best cocktails in town if you ask me! They have the biggest cocktail menu and they even have…read morebig bowls and buckets they fill with a specific cocktail to share. You can also ask the waiters to fill a big bowl with a different cocktail. The prices are lower than avarage. The atmosphere inside is very cozy and they usually have good music playing in the background, at night they turn the music a bit louder. Outside they have normal tables and chairs but also lounge couches with heaters. The service could be better though. It's often quite slow!

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.

Highly recommended! This is truly Amsterdam experience--a cozy restaurant that feels very Dutch. In…read morea city with a lot of great restaurants, it is a stand out. You must be punctual. 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.
