Actually it's not quite 5 stars in my opinion but definitely more than 4. Front of house staff is excellent and manages a level of attention and hospitality normally associated with a much more expensive restaurant.
Dishes, I like the concept you can order things in a small or large size and create your own menu. Grilled oysters: bit heavy on the pepper but strangely enough that works really well! Coconut curry soup: warming, creamy, tasty. Very nice. Mackerel and lentils: the best dish of the evening. Really well balanced and the combination works unexpectedly well. Carpaccio: I'd ordered beetroot and got normal. Nothing wrong with it but not exceptional either. Ratatouille burger: no, mistake. The burger patty was ok but the bun was horrible and the whole thing got soggy. That one needs a rethink. Beef courses were done really well.

Before I ordered I got some bread an aioli which is amongst the best I've had. The carpaccio was fresh and cut from a real side of beef. The main course, the goulash and deer steak, was simply wonderful. Steak tartare is wonderful (hold the truffle mayo for me), the salmon and tuna salad is great and so is the rest of the menu.
Highly recommended!
The one thing that could be improved is some sound dampening as it can get really loud even with only a few...
Read moreI can finally say i found my absolute favorite place in the Netherlands!
The place in itself is super cute and cozy. The food and the wines were excepcional: you could clearly see that the dishes were well thought out (even the marinated olives were amazing!) , they use fresh ingredients and are cooked by skilled chefs. Everything was very tasty and cooked to perfection. The waiter really hyped up the place and they definitely delivered.
The food was great, the service was great, the place was great….what else can...
