This restaurant is popular with locals (always a good sign); we hadn't booked but they found us a table an hour later. It's on a quiet part of Herengracht away from the rather more raucous areas.The atmosphere is very laid back and the staff were very cheery and helpful. The food is excellent with good ingredients and beautifully cooked and... More

As a first experience in a dutch restaurant we have been quite disappointed. The restaurant is well located along a charming canal. Our table, in the back was facing a messy courtyard full of junk where you can see from time to time the chef smoking. It took them more than 3 hours to serve us 3 courses, including only... More

We rated our meal here as 12/10. It was fantastic. It was the most expensive meal we have ever had. A glass of champagne each and a bottle of wine with our meal and the bill came to 185.50 Eros. It was a really special occasion and really memorable. We were given a seat by the window, looking out over... More

Had dinner with friends there. Not very enthousiastic unfortunately. Starter with mackerel was ok but not special. Main. Course veal was not tender at all and hard to cut and too eat. Below what could be expected. Desert, a Stilton cheese was ok but nothing special. Altogethether nothing special and too expensive. A housewine for € 30 is ridiculous and... More

We went to eat in this restaurant because we got a Groupon voucher and I have to say that we very happily surprised. The food is really tasty and very well presented and the dishes in the menu are not the usual ones. Also the list of wines is quite big. The service is not really fast, true, but it... More

This is a very pleasant restaurant that remains relaxed with good quality food. Some reviews 'complain' about speed and this is worth commenting on. The service is good but not harassed so you can pour your own wine and take your time - we liked it but maybe others do not. The speed of service is not pushy or fast... More

Been there last night with a Groupon voucher for a 3 courses menu: nice little location on the canal, unfortunately i had a rather smelly ladies' room right behind me and some long branches of a christmas tree on my faces... The 3 courses were pretentious in their names but small and, at least the starters, quite uneventful! My wife... More

Location is superb on one of the most beautiful canals! Warm welcome from the owner in a comfortable and nicely decorated restaurant! The menu is well layed out and difficult to choose from as everything is tempting to choose! Food, winelist and service are excellent throughout! This restaurant seems very popular with the local canal inhabitants where everbody seems to... More

It's a nice restaurant with some very pretty and very charming staff. The food is pretty good, it aims high and misses slightly. But here is the rub - You (The staff) really don't need to keep explaining why the food is so marvellous to us - It's really fine, but we live near London and have eaten at pretty... More

I've eaten here a few times, it's a proper fine dining place, they never really failed us. The wines are great too.
