    Great food. The only problem was the long waiting time. 4 course menu took 3.5 hours without coffee at the end.

    Wonderful dinner experience. We ordered the chefs choice 5 course meal. Each course was a wonderful surprise of delicious flavour combinations and just the right portions. 5⭐️Our waiter was attentive and kind, and even brought blankets when we felt chilly. Would highly recommend!

    My experience was shadowed by the restaurant not committing to their offer. When making a reservation they give the option of a table by the window, which I chose. Then came four emails asking to reconfirm "a table by the window", which I did. Not only we did not get it. Nobody took the time to let us know why they did not do it. Service was ok and a little parochial, with the waiter asking at one point "What do you want" with an almost impatient tone. And food was ok+. Not at the level that his restaurant is being promoted, am afraid.

    We enjoyed the excellent dishes, all beautiful presented and served by the friendly staff. The restaurant is located in a cozy street in historic Leiden adding to the atmosphere

    Service and ambiance were great, food was OK only though as the tournedos was way overcooked (wasn't asked how i wanted it in the first place). Unfortunately i was presented a bill for another table with 4 course menus... thank goodness I checked the bill in order for it to be corrected.

    We had a great five course surprise menu! It started off oké, but got better with every course. Also the wine pairing was exceptionally good. Meals are Michelin star worthy and service is friendly and attentive. We got some extra sips of some of the wines and enjoyed the experience a lot. It is a small restaurant, but packs a punch! Do book ahead if you are planning a trip. Price/quality wise a 5 star rating for us!

    We didn’t know but apparently it was Mothers Day and we choose the Mother’s Day surprise menu. They asked about our preferences and dislikes and then tailored the courses accordingly. Great fun.
