We choose this restaurant by the app Raisins, searching for a place to eat something and drink good wines. They do not know anything about wines, short list of labels, no choice, short menu, small dishes. We ask and pay for the bread that has...arrived at the end of the dinner. Waiter really rude, and I’m sorry about that cause the place was nice.More

We would have given it a “5” but we were not thrilled with the drink selection. The food was very good though!!! The bread was amazing. Very cute restaurant too.

We ordered a cote de bouf medium rare, but half of it was ruined. It ways cooked way to long. We told the chef but not even a drink on the house. No service. For our small kid the charges for a simplified dish full...price. The experience and the cost are way out off line. Very expensive. I was a returning costumer. But this is it. Not coming back.More

After struggling to find a nice restaurant serving steak whilst on a family break in Amsterdam, we came across this place. Booking was easy online and upon arrival a lovely table was set for us in the window, overlooking the canal. Menu was small, but...this is much preferred as you know that everything coming from the kitchen is cooked fresh to order. Our family opted for a mixture of Fillet steak dishes and Gnocchi. Each were delicious and cooked to perfection! A very enjoyable evening, with friendly attentive staff, great service and amazing food! We will certainly be returning :)More

Steak was grey and difficult to chew. All members of the party experienced the same. The kitchen staff was very noisy and pots and pans were flying around, not just once.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent but I was a bit disappointed I couldn’t order a Cider with my food. Our waiter was very helpful when explaining what Gluten Free food my girlfriend could eat.

This was a disappointment. We reserved this place, based on the good reviews. When we got there, it was freezing and apparently there was no heating. Everybody was sitting with scarfs etc. The prices of the menus were too high. With 2 starters (two bites...and it’s gone), 3 mains and one bottle of wine we had to pay 215€… really too much. Although I must say the food was really good…More

After strolling around the streets and canals of Amsterdam this was the perfect lunch find. The service was very friendly and responsive, the music was great for a Saturday slow lunch. I had a potato and egg starter which was truly wonderful and a well...cooked steak for main. I’d put this on your your list for AmsterdamMore

Went with friends a few weekend ago and had read the review before visiting. The starters were very small and could have been served as canapés. My main was the fish with roasted baby potatoes for €28.00.. This dish probably cost €3,50 at the most....Had to order a side at additional €6,00. Would I visit the restaurant again? Only if I wasn't paying. Better restaurants and menu in Amsterdam.More
