Friendly staff and tasty food, but ambience needs improvement. While the service was warm and the dishes delicious, the dining experience was affected by the environment. The main room had a strong food smell, suggesting poor ventilation, and the back area was quite noisy—likely due to a lack of proper acoustic treatment. With some upgrades to the space, this place could be truly great.

The staff were very attentive and the food was great. It was busy in the restaurant but it had a cozy vibe. They even read the comments in my reservation and left a lovely rose on the table for my fiancé. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Lovely restaurant not far from the main square in Haarlem. Possibly the best spare ribs that I’ve ever had. Will definitely go back when next in Holland.
