Easily in the top ten of the worst service in A’dam, although the competition is fierce!! Took us 2hrs to eat a few sandwiches, then when the order finally came something of course was missing...

Good place to eat. Lots of seating outside. Sunny weather worth enjoying. Will call good decent. Nothing great. Service is really really slow. So if you are in a rush, avoid.

Drinks too expensive for the taste of the cocktails. Slow service. Good ambiance

Worst price / performance I've experienced in Amsterdam and that's saying something. I was told the salad was substantial. Took them 40 mins to create a tiny 'salad' which didn't even have dressing and consisted mainly of capers. I did eat it because I was getting very hungry. After providing feedback I was told I was wrong and should have told them earlier. Wow. Shame because this used to be a nice spot.
