List of pros and cons: Pros: Great food Excellent staff Wonderful view Nice outside seating (although it was too chilly the night I was there) Very comfortable atmosphere Cons: None really! Just sad I had to depart :) The waitress was new but she was doing a great job and she had her assistant there to answer any questions we had. They were both able to respond Dutch and English. I recommend the Chef Menu. It was a selection of starters and then I opted for the cold seafood platter. I can't remember all the items, but there were plenty of choices (crab, oysters, 'razor' something (like mussels) prawns and a few other items). There was also a 'surprise' dessert which included at this time a chocolate chip cheesecake and a fruit compote (and ice cream). It was delicious! I would go back next time I'm in town. You should too.

Restaurant De Botter is thankfully not one of them. considering its location, the prices are quite fair, and the seafood is of good quality and cooked with care. the menu is extensive, and given its demographic, is in German, Dutch, and English. the friendly and attentive servers generally speak all three languages and are comfortable switching. the mussels are fantastic, and the butterfish is a must-try. the sole is also quite good. the decent kids' menu reflects the idea that kids globally seem to like things that are fried...then again, don't most adults? both the inside and outside seating is pleasant; you can just decide if you'd like to be part of the tourist scenery or not!

I had walked into the restaurant from the beach and had an empty water bottle that I wanted filled with water so I could walk later and this was the remark. It was rude & horrific. I then asked another server why the waitress told me to get water from the toilet. The male server then filled my water bottle and gave me a complementary drink. I told him that wasn't necessary. Im still shocked me that a waitress would tell me to get water from the toilet to drink. :( Because of the male severe response I'm giving this 2 stars opposed to the single that I initially rated.

Well worth a try - Service was very nice (thank you Peter),…read morecourteous, attentive and not over bearing - and with good recommendations. Atmosphere was also very nice for local restaurant in a small town - cozy and very comfortable with nice decor. The food was equally good - I only tried the salmon on crostini (they were out of the tar tar) which was nice - could possibly benefit from a light sauce but it was fine. The fish of the day was a flaky white fish (don't remember the local name) similar to sea perch or small sea bass. Nice presentation and was complimented with the house Chardonnay (from Chile). Would recommend the restaurant and would not hesitate to eat there again.
