This place makes you feel like you're not even on from the other side of the world when you're in…read moreHaarlem! The soul food options here are simply amazing. I stayed in Haarlem for a week with my husband and while we kept saying, "oh, let's check out menus at other eateries, we ended up to keep returning here because it's that good! First off, the outdoor seating, if you get here during lovely weather, is an extra treat. It overlooks a lovely mellow plaza and church. In short, we tried about 5 of their appetizers and whichever ones you order, you will love, trust me! I would fly back here in a heartbeat just for their short ribs entree! Ugh...the meat just fell off the bones and fingerlickin' good. Yes, as an American getting down and dirty eating them probably grossed out a few patrons, but that just means their ribs here are that good! They definitely get American Soul Food right here! I'm heading back to Europe in a few weeks. Wish I was back in Haarlem just to eat here again. Service is friendly and great, the food is spectacular. A must eatery when visiting Haarlem or Amsterdam for the matter!

Even by Dutch standards, I thought the service was slow. I think our waitress literally rolled her…read moreeyes when we asked for more tap water. The wait for our main meal was over 1 hour. Fortunately, we had ordered soup. The prices were on the high side for what you get. We ordered the recommended satay and ribs. Both were decent, but not exceptional. I was disappointed after reading that this was a good restaurant in Haarlem. I'd say Haarlem has much better to offer (close by) with similar or lower prices. Overall: decent food, higher prices, and poor service.

Excellent restaurant in the middle of the square. Stepped out of the rain for drinks and a snack…read more The loaded fries and veggie quesadilla hit the spot.

Wonderful outdoor space with heaters. Good menu, lots of options…read more Great location just off the main square. Biggest problem is that smoking is allowed at outdoor dining, and because the outdoor is covered and heated, if someone is smoking around you it just hangs over everything and there is no escaping it. Made for a most unpleasant experience. I know that it is no fault of this particular establishment, and more of a problem of society in general, but it did interfere with our experience at this particular place. Still, I did not subtract any stars for it. The 4 star review has more to do with unfriendly service. Not rude, I just expected friendlier service in a location like this. We were not made to feel welcomed. More like an inconvenience. We didn't feel comfortable lingering. More like eat and leave.

Nice place to go for a drink when it's a nice day. It's one of the cafes in the middle of the…read moreBotermarkt so there is a lot to watch especially on a nice day. There is also a glass enclosed room that's nice in case the sun is out but it's too cold to sit outside.

Really nice place ! Good food and super nice, friendly, efficient service. The view on the sea is…read morereally nice, and the space well arranged, tables by the windows. Simple. Nice.
