Stumble across this restaurant on the Prinsengracht and you will not be disappointed. For those who like a lot of space for themselves, this is not the restaurant to go to. Tucked onto a corner of Prinsengracht this small restaurant lets out an unassuming, warm, romantic ambiance that you feel the minute you walk in the door. Small candles are the lighting du jour at each of the tables, (the actual lights are dimmed) and the tables are close together, for an intimate setting.
My date and I started off our meal with a glass of white wine and raw oysters as our appetizer. The wine list, for both red and white, was reasonably priced and fairly extensive. I would discourage the oysters--ours were much brinier than we were accustomed to in tthe States. You can get better oysters down the road at Cineac for a better price with a drink later in the night. But from then on, the meal didn't disappoint. We ordered a grilled fish and veal--and they came back juicy, tender, and cooked to perfection. The portions were just right and the vegetables excellent compliments. All around us, the chicken and meat dishes (rosemary grilled chicken breast, for example) left customers very happy as well. We did not order dessert here, so I can't comment on it.
All in all, one of the best dining experiences I have had in Amsterdam. Romantic setting, competent waitstaff, and well-known chef. We were the only ones speaking English in the entire restaurant. The decor is minimalist, but trendy. The crowd ranges from young 20- and 30-year-olds to slightly older groups.
