We have booked this place to celebrate my birthday. We were in total seven people and that specific night was overly crowded. That was not the issue as we have booked our table in advance. The issue was that they were under staff. We could clearly see in from the beginning as they have nicely told us to sit at the bar order a drink until our table is ready. We have waited there for an hour. Meaning that we were seated half hour later than our booking. That was nothing to complain about as everything was super when it comes to service and taken care of. The main issue came since we sat on our table. The menus were late, the order was taken really late and then the food came two hours after we have ordered it. The service was really helpful and friendly so I cannot say that there was anything negative about that. But when it comes to the whole experience for sure it was just too much to wait for. The food was of a good quality but nothing to be shocked about. It was a decent food made with care. I would prefer to know in advance that they are under staff so that we do not have any questions or start getting annoyed. That would have been really helpful. All in all it is a place which I would recommend for someone to visit with the hope that this will not happen to anyone else, as well.

We had a reservation at 7.30 p.m. we were told to wait on the bar for few minutes, we ordered some cocktails. Amazing bar service from the older woman behind the bar (she's the only reason this review is 3 stars). We got served really nice tasteful drinks. Onto the main course, we had to wait more than one hour after the reservation to be able to sit on our table. After having done that, the waiter did not seem to bother theirselves bringing the menu fast, as we did not wait long enough already. So we order the 5 starter course, which again took quite a time to arrive... The soup was tasting nice, the seafood was also nice, but when the customer informs the waiter of allergies, why do I get 3 starters that have different ingredients that I am allergic to? The waiter spefically told me that they will adjust the starters they will serve... yet nothing like that happened. At least I was informed... Onto the main course, by that time we are passed 10 p.m and remember our reseralvation was at 7.30. The black angus beef burger, simply overpriced, sauce not good, beef mediocrely cooked and not something special in taste. The spare ribs were simply just not good, with a BBQ sauce, seemed like it was just premade. The whole point was a birthday activity and eating afterwards in that place. Unfortunately, everything went great until we arrived at this restaurant. To conclude, what really bothers me is that the owner of the restaurant was present, but he did not seem to try and do something aboit the 3+ hours waiting time, instead overbooking for tourists is a great thing to do...

The restaurant serves excellent local seafood that is in-season. It also has quite an extensive drinks menu. I tried the Zeeland mussels. You can opt for it to be paired with baguette slices or with french fries -- in which I tried the former. The mussels portion was quite large. It was only very lightly seasoned and was cooked in a kettle. All of the mussels were fresh -- they were slightly sweet and was still very juicy, with no fishy smell. It was served with an array of sauces -- which I didn't use much. The coleslaw side was quite refreshing. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I was in town for a Conference in April and decided to try out the place with my work colleague. Charming resto, waiters speak English if you are a foreigner. Menu onsite was in Dutch but they had it available in English online on their website, they have WIFI too if needed. Has an outdoor terrace area which is semi guarded from the rain/wind. Good quality food!
Thee food was fine, but the spare ribs were smelling bad and also the burger wasn't the best. One girl from the staff was not friendly but it was still fine. Also, this place is toooo expensive. So, be carefull while making your choice. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person €50–60
