Ridiculously great! For this place google should add a star to their rating system, because 5 stars simply doesn't cut it.

Atmosphere is great. From parking place, entrance with soft music outside, and a nicely decorated place. A warm welcome at the door by the host.

We started with goat cheese in filo, and the homemade croquettes. For the mains, we decided on the (small?) meat platter to share. Which was more than delicious, but also much more than enough! Accompanied bij very fitting sides. No room for dessert.

We were offered a small wine tasting to make sure the wine we chose was to our liking.

Kitchen is openly visible, including the charcoal grill. Fresh fish shown behind glass in the fridge.

Friendly prices, big portions, very very friendly and professional staff.

This place is amazing.

No, but really. You don't understand. I mean really really great! That entrecote I had on the platter was one of the best I ever tasted. So succulent 🤤 Together with some crunchy dip, a sprinkle of salt... Wow.

If you still have doubts to visit, then YOU are the problem. Just go there...

Ok, we did book last minute & luckily managed to reserve a table unlike the family that entered before us that was turned away. However, they lacked in tables because they were only using the terrace and not inside. It was a warm evening so was perfect but a shame to loose business for that reason. As always, the service was excellent (we love Aziel! (spelling?)) & the food delicious. The only downside to the terrace was that we were surrounded on either side by smokers. Also, the power went out a couple of times and we were all plunged into darkness. It was quickly restored and everyone was in good spirits anyway so enjoyed the momentary change in lighting but perhaps candles on the tables might be advisable if this happens regularly. Return visit...all just as before-delicious food, friendly staff & this time, inside seating. Mahalo is our "go to" restaurant & we highly recommend it! Waiter's name is actually Gil and he is welcoming and lovely just as...
