6.5/10Avocado sandwich was very simple and not really nicely prepared. It felt rather like a snack bar than a restaurant…

2/10I can't believe I wasted my time and money on this! This is hands down the worst pasta I have ever eaten. It was an absolute culinary disaster, with an unappealing texture and a flavor that left a bad taste in my mouth.

9/10The staff was amazing and the atmosphere was really cozy. The food was also delicious, however the portion size especially for the main course does not match the price point. Instead of wanting a dessert, i needed one to feel somewhat full.

Nice location in old harbour, cousy ambience. But beef stew is over-salted - not recomended

7.5/10Food and drinks were reasonable for Dutch standards but needed to wait about 1 hr just for sandwiches to be served. I do not think is acceptable.

6.5/10food and service good, tables very small, very noisy place, it was raining so everyone had to sit inside, would probably be more pleasant experience if not raining

9/10Lovely restaurant close to the harbour. We sat inside as it was cold and rainy and it was lovely, very dark and cosy. We had some great wine and beers with our deep fried combination platter. A good way to try some of the local cuisine.

9.5/10Everything was great. This is one of my fav places to go in Rotterdam for food and/or drink. I will be back for sure. Their beef stew is well worth the time and the money, along with the view

6/10Dined with six colleagues. Ambiance was great, beautiful wheater, table at the waterside. Service was accurate in the beginning, later for coffee we needed to search the staff inside. Food was dissapointing, more on a snackbar level than a restaurant level. Very very salty chicken saté with cheapass salad (iceberg! snackbar!). Some had an average hamburger, nothing special. One of my colleague took the vegetarian special of the day: sponach lasagne with 3 cheeses. It arrived in a breakfast bowl looking like a burnt brick, with black sides, and nothing else on the plate. When I said it looked burnt the waitress took it back to the kitchen and it came back the same, this time with some ice berg lettuce, cherry tomatoes and some grated cheese on top. According to the chef it only looked burnt, she said, "caused by the bechamel sauce". What a complete nonsense, as a chef I know better. Cut it short: great ambiance, snackbar food, bad price-quality ratio. ps: the zeebaars looked good and tasted good, which helped make it a 6.

8/10the food was average (not bad though!!) but they had some amazing wine and the friendliest staff who was able to put up with my 8 year old cousin AND my drunk uncle, pretty impressive.

7/10Furniture and ambience is a bit outdated. Tables are very small. Surrounding is a bit dirty, no background music and mixed seating smokers/non-smokers.

Great food, super service and worth every cent. We really enjoyed it, thank you. Easy to see why this is one of the best rated restaurants in Rotterdam! We enjoyed two starters, two main courses, cocktails and more. Impressive all round.

7.5/10The restaurant had a very nice menu and the food was very good. The staff and service was exceptional, but they got an order wrong and we paid for it anyway so I don't feel like giving 5 stars. The atmosphere was nice, but a bit too loud.
