We booked a reservation here despite never having been, and we’re so happy we did. We had the MOST incredible time, the servers were all incredible, thoughtful, and efficient. We had the falafel salad and the warm brie & pear salad to start, then green curry and the chicken satay for our mains. The beers are to die for - especially the dubbel and Sagittarius A! If it wasn’t full, we would’ve come back the next evening to try even more things from the menu.

Great restaurant with a good, well rounded meals that are tasty and of good quality. They have a variety of banquet rooms, I ate at the top floor which is great, good lighting, high ceiling and spacious for a couple dozen people. They offered a three course menu which was great, a salad, main and dessert. Nice brewery at the lower level.

Was going to stop for food, but we were ignored by the serving staff. We ordered via the online system and our drinks were thrown at us. Comfortably the worst service we have had in our trip to the Netherlands. It’s a beautiful spot, they obviously don’t need to try very hard

They changed menu one day before, so it was a bit confusing to order. The place is lovely and I recommend sitting outside, too bad the canal tables were closed on a wednesday. Had the satay and their own witbier, strong taste and go very well together, the satay is not spicy at all, which I like.
