The space feels like a large, modern greenhouse and, indeed, the building includes an actual greenhouse in which ingredients are grown. We had a private room for our group of 20 and two staff members were diligent in keeping our wine glasses full and each of the 10 courses moving forward. The menu is plant forward and, as a vegetarian, I was delighted by all of my courses. I cannot tell you what all of the courses were, other than to say that they were delicious. Make a reservation and explore their website before doing so. De Kas is an experience to cherish.

The portion was so generous, that it could have easily been a lunch on it's own. But the dish of the day was THE highlight of the experience. It was a modern twist on Stamppot with a home-made rookworst and rich gravy and a truly delicious dish. If you ever want to try this Dutch classic, De Klub is the place to go (if they still have it on the menu).

I enjoyed all of the dishes we were served. Fresh and nicely seasoned. Not overly salty or heavy. Portions were just right and I left feeling stuffed even with the 3 course option. Dinner was at a relaxed and unrushed pace. We spent 2 hours here and were the first ones to leave. Clearly people enjoy eating and spending time here!

Fine dining in a casual intimate setting with open kitchen and wonderful service…read more Service: The service was great - really attentive and helpful. Even though the menu is a surprise, they accommodate food allergies. Our server explained the process of dinner as well as each dish very well. As someone who loves to cook, I liked hearing about how some of the dishes were prepared. Atmosphere: The atmosphere was intimate and rustic with brick walls, candlelight, and wood. The open kitchen was a delight to watch - they were hustling, but calm and quiet. We ate early on a weeknight which was also nice. It's fine Dutch dining but in a casual atmosphere. Food: The food was very tasty with options for a 3, 4, or 5 course dinner. We opted for 5 course and there were also upgrades like wine pairings and a cheese plate dessert instead of the preset dessert. The menu had a range of meat and veggies, but they also offered a full vegetarian menu too. The two plates that stood out was the venison dish which was cooked perfectly, as well as the unique dessert - the cherries and Thai basil oil with vanilla ice cream paired really well with my ruby port. We were a party of 4 vacationing from the USA. Bathrooms were clean, service was delightful, and it was well worth getting out of city center for a nice dinner!

The staff is very friendly, attentive and accommodating. The restaurant is in the perfect location from the Fletcher hotel, but I would make the trip regardless of my stay just for the food and inviting environment. The menu offers plenty to choose from, and everything is absolutely delectable. The beers are cold and the wines always pleasant. As the surrounding area develops, I eagerly anticipate them remaining open on the weekends. For now, I enjoy them regularly during the week and Friday nights. Thanks Johan for the delectable meals and refreshments, I simply love your Grand Cafe ZO!

I went to Drovers Dog today to be the first one to write about it on Yelp ;) and I read about it…read morelast week and of course, not unimportant, because I was hungry. Drovers Dog has opened very recently and I think it is nice that Amsterdam Oost is getting more cool spots lately. I think there used to be a shortage of nice places to hang out in Oost, but it is getting better. I also love that the brunch culture is getting more popular in Amsterdam these days! Drovers Dog looks very cool and gezellig. There is a lot of natural light thanks to the big windows, the bar and furniture are made of wood and there are little plants on the tables. Outside is quite a big terrace. I love the all day breakfast concept and it is very cool that this place is opened 'till 10 PM. After having a look at their menu I went to the bar to order my things. Unfortunately they told me that it was so busy that they were way behind on their orders and that they would take no orders for the next 20 minutes and that they were very sorry. We could order our drinks now and our food in 20 minutes.. Okay, well. That's okay, we were in no hurry. We ordered a banana chocolate smoothie and a strawberry and rose ice tea. The smoothie was very nice but the ice tea absolutely lacked flavour and was watery. I do not recommend it. After waiting 25 minutes I asked if it was possible to order our food. They told me that sadly I could only order wraps because they were out on the other food. (they were out on pastries as well.) I was quite disappointed because I had set my mind on the corn fritters but ok, lets have a wrap then. We ordered a Serrano ham wrap and I choose the spicy mayonnaise to go with it and a grilled chicken wrap with hummus. I also ordered a flat white. So.. it was 1.30PM and they were already out of food. That's not really good in your opening weekend, after being featured in 'Het Parool', right? The flat white was really nice. Great coffee. The wraps weren't very special though. It tasted alright I guess but I expected a lot more of this. It also was my only option. When we came in there were people eating corn fritters, burgers, eggs benedict...and all I got was a not-so-special wrap?? mehhh. The experience was not as pleasant as I expected. It all seemed very unprofessional. The waitress was constantly searching for the right tables, service was very slow, we had to wait long and they were out of almost everything, Hopefully these were all beginners problems. I will go back in a few months to see if they have improved,. I want to be positive here! I do think this place has potential so that's why I give 3 stars.
