Reviews
It's always a treat coming here for afternoon drinks & a snack or for a great meal. This place has the best view on the Rotterdam skyline. Overlooking the lake, you can see the sun set and the skyline illuminate, during your meal. The service is good, the staff very friendly and some the courses are to die for, like the classic Dutch Bitterbal, this time made with mushroom risotto en topped with a truffle mayonnaise. They have a large outside terras, where you can enjoy your dinner overlooking the lake. The only downside is that there's no terras heating, and I personally don't like the two hour timeframe they've set up, because of CO-VID19, though it's understandable. So if you're up for a great restaurant, where you can easily combine drinks or a meal with a stroll through the forest or along the lakeside, this is the place to be!
This is just a no nonsense elegant quality restaurant . We had catch of the day and Tuna both were just excellent . Portion size just right . Good wine . The deserts are just mjammie ! Had strawberry granache and hangop ( yogurt with stuff) was real good . I can recommend this place with its excellent service to anyone !!!!!!
Beautiful and relaxable place with open air terrace. If you need something special with your guests or company, I would like to recommend this restaurant. The dishes are good. Especially, we’re hooked on ‘meat’ and ‘deserts’ menu.
Amazing view at sunset, good service, friendly waiter, good food and cocktails. I have a new favorite place. Totally recommend!
The place and the view are beautiful, especially near sunset. The menu is varied and not as expensive as I expected, though the food was just ok. They need some help with service though. Although everyone was very nice and friendly, you have to ask for service all the time, even to get seated, get a menu, order drinks, etc. It's not hard to do, simple training would be enough. I blame it on the way people tip in this country, just not enough incentive to be great, just ok.
