Fodor's Review:
Despite appearances, this precariously crooked building near the solid Round Lutheran Church is here to stay. Designed by the ubiquitous Hendrik de Keyser, it has managed to remain standing since 1614, so it should last through your dinner of contemporary Dutch cuisine. In fact, take time to enjoy their use of famous local ingredients, such as succulent lamb from the North Sea island of Texel and honey from Amsterdam's own Vondelpark. There are also expertly prepared fish plates, such as roasted fillet of red snapper with a homemade vinaigrette. The full five-course menu will set you back EUR 52.50. Lunch is available only for large groups.

Just a tourist trap, Avoid this place !
Posted by pierreC from France on 1/7/08
This place is very visible in Amsterdam because the owner has a good sense of marketing and promotion but you should definitely avoid this place for several reasons :
- Prices are very high compared to low quality of the food
- Service is aguable and you always need to ask twice to get served
- The place is very small and they tend to have much too many tables
- The owner only accept Credit Cards when it suits him, that is not very often.
I went there to celebrate new Years Eve with my fiancee and that was among the worst experience in a would be good restaurant. In Amsterdam, I would advise Christophe or Excelsior which deliver much better value for your money according to me.
