    Food and location nice but they have no clue how to offer good service. Ordered snow crab and in the terrace was extremely dark, to be able to eat it. When expressed my disappointment to the waitress that they should provide more light or to not serve it at all, she responded politely but her manager came with an attitude saying to me "hey man"... That's not a way to behave in this environment. I am sorry. You can run this business better. I hope this feedback helps you to get better.

    After two years living in the middle east I never thought I could find the same level of food than I could have in Amman. This place proved me wrong... probably the best shawarma / hummus you can find in Amsterdam. May be netherland... Clearly a perfect spot ! (As the outside spot is quite appreciated, go early or you ll have trouble finding a seat)

    Great location next to the water and overviewing Noord. The restaurant is very cozy, for just drinks or for dinner. The wine and food is amazing! I’ve been there a couple of times now and I’ll repeat soon again 😊

    Beautiful restaurant near to the water. They serve tasty dishes and the service is friendly and professional. A bit pricey but overall it was a nice experience. In the summer, staying outside and have a drink next to the water on the terrace must be beautiful

    Very unique but extremely delicious Club Sandwich! Super friendly and an amazing spot to visit.

    French orientated menu. Price/quality/size ratio is not great. Waiters aren’t well trained. Sad to see a growing amount of places in Amsterdam like this: clearly not for the love of gastronomy and creating something special but instead aiming to be as profitable as possible. Not recommended.

    Francy drinks by the river. Super cosy place! There is also a fire in the room and a huge terrace for the summer. Interesting furniture and I really liked the idea of placing a photo boot at the entrance. Fair prices.

    Great location but disappointing experience and too expensive for what you get. 3-course dinner for 40 euros and quantity wasn't enough. Quality was disappointing. Service was very slow and below average. I'd advise to only go for drinks.

  • 5/5 Connie Ines Chan G. 1 year ago on Google • 185 reviews
    This venue is so beautiful. Loved the wood, cream- dark decor. We arrived without reservation on a rainy day, and we were able to get a table for 5. Got some drink and dessert. Would definitely go again for another time. Toilets were clean.

  • 4/5 Jacob M. 4 years ago on Google • 153 reviews
    Really cute atmosphere and friendly service. My friend and I had oysters and burrata to start, and a couple cocktails. They dont have much of a cocktail list just a list of the liquors the carry, and they have some beer and wine. For the main courses we had the fish of the day and the BBQ Leeks and a side of French fries. The portions are quite small, the main dishes are more like tapas than mains but were tasty. The portion sizes definitely encourage you to order appetizers, mains, sides and desserts if you want to fill up. The view on the water is nice. Overall 4 stars.

  • 5/5 Priscilla 11 months ago on Google • 79 reviews
    Lovely restaurant by the water - very nice views by the windows! I really enjoyed the food, but I also agree with some previous comments that the service is not the best.

  • 4/5 Linda De B. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice location and friendly staff. The dishes were nice but I expected a little more. It’s not cheap so you expect good quality produce. The steak tartare wasn’t cut properly and me and my friend both ended up with large strings of meat. The flavour was nice but the execution of it not so much. Same with most dishes that the rest of the group had. Amazing flavours but sometimes it missed a bit of wow. My main was a tuna steak and was amazing though! Also we shared Caesar salads on the side. Again nice in flavour but the leaves were so big you couldn’t even share them. I would definitely go back though. But maybe with lower expectations and trying some different dishes

  • 5/5 Anastasia S. 4 years ago on Google
    Great ambiance. The terrace is quite big. Food is good as well

  • 5/5 Rick k. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice and especially nice place, large terrace on the water. Smooth and friendly service, delicious food! Recommended (Original) Leuke en vooral mooie zaak, groot terras lekker aan het water. Vlotte en vriendelijke bediening, heerlijk gegeten! Aanrader

    (Translated by Google) I went to eat here last week and I am all for it. What a delicious food, top service and nice terrace. Unique place on the water. (Original) Ik ben hier afgelopen week gaan eten en ik ben helemaal om. Wat een heerlijk eten, top bediening en fijn terras. Unieke zaak aan het water.

  • 5/5 Konstantina R. 4 years ago on Google
    In the warmest night of the century, stuff was attentive, with a smile, fast and sweet. We thoroughly enjoyed our time!!

  • 5/5 Dominique K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Delicious snacks and incredibly nice staff. Really recommended! (Original) Heerlijke hapjes en onwijs aardig personeel. Echt een aanrader!

  • 3/5 Mademoiselle M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice place to drink but not to eat. Very small portions of main courses, still hungry afterwards! (Original) Mooie plek om te drinken maar niet om te eten. Hele kleine porties hoofdgerechten, had erna nog honger!

    (Translated by Google) Shame about typical arrogant Amsterdam hospitality staff, view and oysters very good !! (Original) Jammer van typisch arrogant Amsterdams horeca personeel, uitzicht en oesters erg goed!!

  • 3/5 Pieter ten C. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is very close to the central station and has some delicious but overpriced dishes on the menu. Especially during the summer time, this is a nice place to go to . The place has a great terrace along the water on which you can wine and dine near the IJ river. Go here for some drinks mostly - the food is pricey.

  • 3/5 Asimwe R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great view and location. The garden outside looks ideal for a summer night and the decor inside is pretty. Food is pricey but okay. I've been here twice and each time it was so loud, I left with a headache. Wouldn't recommend if looking for a quiet and relaxed ambiance.

  • 4/5 Rajae Ben S. 2 years ago on Google
    Its one of our fav places (we’re locals) but the new staff is somewhat clumsy (orders tend to be forgotten / messed up). But overall, great location and ok coffee. Snacks are really good!

  • 2/5 Wim B. 1 year ago on Google
    We reserved (they charge a reservation deposit) a table for three inside the restaurant, especially as they mention when you book a table outside, they cannot guarantee a table on the inside when the weather turns. On arrival, we were told that due to a lack of staff, nobody could sit inside, and we were forced to sit outside, where we were assigned a tiny table, which was unacceptable, bearing in mind the prices they charge. No proper table was available, and we were basically forced to sit at the waterfront at a picnic table with a dirty ashtray which was only taken away after we asked. The staff is friendly but clearly receives no guidance and lacks real restaurant experience. All our orders took a long time to order and arrive as staff runs around without real attention to guests when not at your table. We ordered some bread, and three pieces of bread arrived with butter close to curdling; why so little when bread is cheap, and prices charged are high? No salt or pepper on the table nor provided. As the main course, we ordered a steak and risotto. The steak came without anything else but the sauce. Fries are ordered as a side dish (still no salt or pepper), making a steak rather expensive, the risotto had a lovely taste, but the presentation was lacking. It looks like they slammed it on a flat white plate and sent it out. The time between the starter and main course was way too long. The desert was good but nothing special. All in all, you spent way too much time getting the staff's attention, taking time away from a nice evening with friends. Definitely not a restaurant I would ever go to again as prices are too high compared to the atmosphere, service, and quality.

  • 4/5 Natali W. 1 year ago on Google • 18 reviews
    This is the perfect spot to catch up with a friend over good food or have a fun team dinner, because there is always something for everyone. The restaurant overlooks the Ij and is cosy inside for the winter, and even more fun on the terrace in the summer. (Pics are from the delicious “Italian Sunday” menu)

  • 5/5 Agnès L. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was yummy. Service was great. We came mainly for the Baba au Rhum and it didn't disappoint: delicious.

  • 2/5 Sadia W. 2 years ago on Google
    You shall be waiting forever for the menu, and the bill. Coffee was good though.

  • 5/5 Dominic Anggit P. 1 year ago on Google
    Gorgeous venue by the Ij with great food.

  • 1/5 Stan D. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) After 30 minutes still no drinks can order very poor service (Original) Na 30 minuten nog steeds geen drinken kunnen bestellen erg slechte service

  • 5/5 Marija R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place and great vibe with a stunning view on the IJ. Delicious fresh oysters were a highlights of the day. The huge beergarden became a perfect place to chill on a super hot day

  • 4/5 Hannah B. 1 year ago on Google
    We came for the sunday roast experience. The quality of the food was good and tasty but the portions were quite small for a group of 5 people, especially the side dishes could have been more generous. The service was friendly but unfortunately not super well trained. There was a lot of attention to detail missing, we ordered mimosa’s and 10 minutes after the order they told us that there is no orange juice, we had ordered roast for 5 but only were served 4 carrots and 4 Yorkshire puddings which felt not very considerate given the price. There was no serving cutlery with the dishes or sauces. All in all still giving 4 stars because the food was tasty and hoping that the problems in the service and communication issues between kitchen and service will improve in the future.

  • 4/5 Lau A. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely terrace, in the evening no sun (behind the building) so that’s pretty chill. Nice food. Pretty small portions thus a bit pricy :)

  • 5/5 Emily F. 4 years ago on Google
    €9.50 for smoked salmon toast??? This would've costed three times as much in New York! I'm not used to getting such large portions of salmon on my toast, I was actually full from the meal. It's been five hours and I'm still thinking about that salmon. What a great brunch.

  • 4/5 Fábio S. 3 years ago on Google
    Good cafe bar restaurant. Interesting interior design with some mirror panels on the ceiling and a lot of glass chandeliers. The food quantity isn't big. Nice location. They attract a young and energetic crowd.

  • 5/5 Li C. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place with nice view. I love the oyster a lot, very fresh and tasty. The portion is just perfect for me.

  • 2/5 Riccardo M. 3 years ago on Google
    2 stars for the nice location, but really bad and slow customer service. Also there are three sizes for small beers but did not have glasses for pints. Will not come back.

  • 4/5 Vladimir P. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Lucie V. 3 years ago on Google
    I went with a larger group and we had a two-course menu; the food was great, but the overall "choreography" less so. Still, I like the interior design and vibe of the place, the staff was nice and friendly. Also, they have a photo booth.

    Place, ambiance, view were good, although food and (especially) customer service were pretty bad.

  • 2/5 Jelle 3 years ago on Google
    It looks like they do not threat their employees fair while we were having dinner. Some ever were working on an extremely warm day for more 10 hours! We will not come back.

  • 5/5 Nancy 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very good food. We had two starters. The soup and the salad with tomato / feta. We found the amount appropriate for the price. We can't say anything about the main course. Everyone was very nice and tried hard to help us. (Original) Sehr gutes Essen. Wir hatten zwei Starter. Die Suppe und den Salat mit Tomate/Feta. Fanden wir für den Preis angemessen von der Menge her. Über den Main Course können wir nichts sagen. Alle sehr nett und bemüht um uns.

    (Translated by Google) Nice tent on the water. Good food but above all very cozy. (Original) Leuk tentje aan 't water. Goed eten maar vooral erg gezellig.

  • 2/5 Marc H. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The location is nice. But the food well what shall I say .. too little choice .... and too expensive for what you get. For example 23 € for a small piece of meat without anything. French fries cost another 5 €. So don't go here if you want to eat ... (Original) De locatie is leuk. Maar het eten tja wat zal ik zeggen.. te weinig keuze.... en veeeeel te duur voor wat je krijgt. Bijvoorbeeld 23€ voor een klein stukje vlees zonder iets erbij. Frietjes erbij kost nog eens 5 €. Dus ga hier niet heen als je wil gaan eten...

  • 5/5 Ruud W. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a beautiful location on the banks of the IJ where as a real Amsterdammer enjoy is always movement on the water and delicious food with attentive staff where you can request everything with good explanations and never rushed and friendly (Original) Het is een mooie locatie aan de oevers van het IJ waar het als echte Amsterdammer genieten is altijd beweging op het water en heerlijk eten met attent personeel waar je alles aan kunt vragen met goede uitleg en nooit gehaast en vriendelijk

  • 5/5 Rob de G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Delicious eaten (oysters, barbecue mushrooms, risotto and prime rib, all equally delicious) with a beautiful view of the ships sailing across the IJ. And for a very reasonable price (including bottle of Cava less than € 100) (Original) Overheerlijk gegeten (oesters, barbecue padestoelen, risotto en entrecote, allemaal even lekker) met prachtig uitzicht op de schepen die over 't IJ varen. En voor een zeer redelijke prijs (incl. fles Cava nog geen €100)

  • 5/5 Allen Joiner, J. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food, great service. Small menu but executed very well. Quirky and fun atmosphere. I went in the winter so didn't get to experience it, but the outdoor seating would be great in the warmer months, with the water right next to the dining area, with great boat watching.

  • 5/5 Jeroen K. 4 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 Sanne b. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Great food, but way too much and way too little! It could really have been three times as much. You also pay for salad and fries as a side dish. Price and quantity are really not in proportion. If you feel a bit hungry you can easily eat 100 euros on your own to satisfy your hunger. The service is good and the food is certainly tasty. Yet they unfortunately don't see me here again. I am still going to the snack bar to fill my stomach! (Original) Heerlijk eten, maar veel en veel en veels te weinig! Het had echt makkelijk drie keer zo veel kunnen zijn. Daarbij betaal je ook nog voor sla en patat als bijgerecht. Prijs en hoeveelheid zijn echt niet in verhouding. Als je een beetje flinke trek hebt eet je in je eentje makkelijk 100 euro weg om je honger te stillen. De bediening is wel goed en het eten is zeker lekker. Toch zien ze mij hier helaas niet meer terug. Ik ga nu nog ff langs de snackbar om m'n maag te vullen!

  • 2/5 Pavel Jansen op de H. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice atmosphere in the evening (summer evening). Great snacks and drinks. But the service is really bad. Inattentive. Uninterested. Management, what are you doing? Train your staff! (Original) Heel erg fijne sfeer in de avond (zomeravond). Prima hapjes en drankjes. Maar de bediening is echt vreselijk slecht. Onoplettend. Ongeïnteresseerd. Management, waar zijn jullie mee bezig? Leid je personeel op!

  • 5/5 Guillermo T. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a great restaurant/bar located next to the city center, in Westerdoksdijk. Ideal for going with friends, have some drinks, or celebrate a reunion. The terrace is beautifully lit, making it a perfect spot for spending a summer night outside, watching the river. It has a photo booth which gives you 2 copies of the taken pictures. Totally recommend it!

    Such a nice place for daytime food and drinks!

  • 5/5 Golden G. 3 years ago on Google
    Outstanding service. Just got home after having some drinks here. The bartender was excellent. Really nice place. I forget his name it was like rook or something similar. Anyway nice place I would recommend.

👍👍 The perfect place to enjoy high-quality seafood at a reasonable price.
