The food was great once it arrived so I would recommend. The service for drinks was slow initially as my colleagues who turned up 5 minutes after us were served drinks before we were. The wait to order was quite lengthy and when the food arrived some starters arrived 10 minutes before others. The overall experience was good, the food was worth the wait but the service wasn’t great. The restaurant did how ever give us some free drinks by way of an apology. I would recommend this place but I think we dined on an off night.

Service was a little slow, but the place was rammed, so there was a reason for it. In any case, the staff were super friendly and the food absolutely amazing so we didn't mind the wait. Best meal I've had for ages. Will definitely go back if I'm ever in haarlem again

Nice and different food with truly international menu, generous portions and very nice decor. The service was a bit slow and not always very attentive, but overall a nice experience.

The food here is stunning. Think low priced fine dining. We loved the flavour combinations and the UMAMI dishes do exactly what they say on the menu. Only one problem... slow, sporadic service. OK sure, it was a Friday evening but our section was mostly coffees, desserts, and drinkers by the time we got our starter. By the time our main arrived, we had been at the table for 85 minutes. The starter and drinks were relatively fast so once the ball got rolling we expected a rhythm to the meal delivery that never took hold. We were offered more drinks as our starter was collected but as we were half way through the drinks we said no. We weren't asked again for around half an hour. I believe the problem comes down to organisation, our waiter kept changing so they couldn't possibly know where we were in the meal and get that rhythm right. All in all, I would say you must try it, but still, paying 80 to 120 for two 3 course meals should still guarantee service with consistent attentiveness.
