Beautiful setting, very elegant food presentation. Amuse-bouche, complements of the chef, were quite nice.
While this restaurant's food, staff and setting were all very regal, perhaps it was a bit too formal for my taste. Don't get me wrong, I love fine dining! I just remember being 2 hours into the meal and we weren't even halfway through our courses. We had to ask to skip a few courses and ask for the dessert menu. Maybe this is very American of us (we've noticed that Americans enjoy dining out but tend to work through a dinner seating much quicker than the Europeans), as we saw many others who came before us and stayed after us. I understand it is Dutch culture to relax and treat dinner & drinks as a full-evening event.
The food was fantastic, amazing chef! I can't express enough how intimate the restaurant is. I just didn't have it in me to sit through a 3-hour dinner:( Overall, lovely evening. read more
