“A very nice restaurant and well deserving of their Michelin star. The overall experience was very good. We were there for a business dinner. We had the private room, which is nice and quiet, so it's not only great for business but maybe also if you have a big group of friends or family. We were there with 12 people, and that fitted right comfortably. The menu was very nice, presented every time with a great explanation and matching wines. Overall, the service was excellent, and we were there for way longer than we expected, but that was actually a good thing because time flew by without a hit”

“The ambience was great , sommelier stood out because of his personality and his service , the rest of the service was ok as the explanations of the food was not as explicit as other Michelin star restaurants I have been. The portions were really small , the bread , butter and the sauce was plain to be honest . For me this was one Michelin experience but not 2, I have been to better 2 star restaurants but this one didn’t do the cut for me somehow, however the food was still good, just didn’t meet the expectations of the 2 star. The red wine could have been a bit better I think , as compared to ”

“I was in Amsterdam for 2 days, and I wanted to spend my last night dining here because of its quality reputation and lake locale outside of the city. Chef Stefan Van Sprang guides you through the menu and continually checks on you. The restaurant has a very peaceful and relaxing vibe. The menu was quite diverse with the best curry sauce and eel I've ever had. The caramel tart dessert had no business being that good. The non-alcoholic wines and service were top notch. This is one of the top restaurants in The Netherlands. Such culinary artistry 🎨👨🍳🤤”
