    The place looks amazing, and I was very much looking forward to eating here. My burger was tasty but nothing really exceptional. Unfortunately the cocktail (Tin Man) was very disappointing. It was served with an aluminum straw (which is fun given the name) however also making it impossible to drink due to the high amount of crushed ice and the minimal amount of cocktail. After ditching the straw I was hoping to get a taste of the cocktail itself, but this literally tasted like nothing. I got my friends to taste it just to have their opinions. They all agreed. The prices are steep, they already add 15% tip to your bill, so keep this in mind. Personally I like to decide the tip for myself… service is friendly.

    The kitchen made a special vegan brunch for us, outside their generous 3-course Sunday brunch menu. Lots of effort being put in, thank you very much for being so inclusive! Wonderful hidden sunny terrace by the water and spacious restaurant just 15 mins walk from the central station, in the former Marine grounds. The waiting staff are highly personable and attentive, who adds to the charm. This will be our new favorite place.

    The food and cocktails were amazing! We had a team dinner here and everything was exceptional. While I had the steak, my coworkers were raving about the aubergine and how delicious it was. The view from the terrace is also pretty amazing and a great place to take people visiting Amsterdam.

    A place where you feel and eat like home. The menus are 80% plant based, everything is hand made in house, biological and sustainable is the moto of the restaurant. With a built in pizza oven and really good prices. A real treat for Amsterdam.

    Update: added one star for the kind response from the owner who acknowledged the quality of the food was not on par. This is service the way we need it. Thanks and keep it up! We will take that rain check ;) Great place for brunch. Especially when the weather is nice. Staff is hospitable but not the resolute kind when something is off. We ordered two Egg Benedict with salmon. Tastes were great. But the egg was way overcooked. When told about this the waitress apologized but didn't take action (we had only taken one bite).

    Terrible service. 30 minutes until drink order and brought mains as appetizers. View great. No music. Food amazing. Pork belly app is top tier. Risotto great. Lamb steak great. Wine list terrible.

    Amazing location, on the water. Amazing ambience, very friendly wait staff, and great appetizers (which is all I had), and awesome local beer. I'll definitely be going here again fo ambience alone the next time I visit.

    I really wanted to like this place but I was a bit disappointed to be honest. It looks sooo nice. Inside is amazing. Super spacious and great design. It’s really well done. Long bar. Open kitchen. Plenty of place to sit or dine. The best part is, they were allowed to have an extra terrace in the yard near the waterfront. This is amazing. A beautiful view on the water. Boats passing by. An amazing sunset behind Nemo lighting up the silhouette of Central Station. Unfortunately we took pizza. And this is not a pizza place. It was a bit dry, and simply just did not have that much flavor. I’m quite sure I’m spoiled with some of the best pizza places of the country here in Amsterdam, but this sure was underwhelming and below average. I really tried. They have some nice vegan options as well. Including... vegan chocolate cake. It just called my name when I saw it on someone else’s plate. But... although it’s good size and the chocolate crème between the layers was delicious, the cake itself just was a bit dry. Not sure if it’s supposed to be like that. But for me this was the second disappointment. They were quite understaffed as well on this sunny Sunday afternoon. The only waitress outside did not really look after any of the tables. But hey, let’s not go into that. When we finally talked to them after trying to find someone inside they were super friendly. All of them. We actually had some great conversations with them. Anyway, to conclude, I don’t think I will try again anytime soon. Although I probably should, judging from the crazy high rating. Maybe we were unlucky. Or maybe we should have kept it to drinks or any of the other more special dishes. Just chilling out on the pillows or tables under the trees in the Marine area is a great experience by itself as well. So try for yourself.

    Really nice place - spacious inside with cool decoration and a lovely outside are nearby the water. At a good weather it's just wonderful to hangout with friends and enjoy the amazing cocktails. Service is kind but might be a bit slow if busy (especially in the good weather). The food is tasty and at goo quality. Thanks, we will visit again.

    We came for the amazing terrace next to the water. We started with the pet nat bottle which was excellent and refreshing on a warm summer day. We had dinner set for 42 euros. This includes an appetizer, entree, and dessert. My friend and I shared everything so we could try the menu. Appetizers Steak tartare - quail egg, mustard, shallot - this was very average and not seasoned well. Sea bass carpaccio - grapefruit gremolata - very unbalanced dish, wasn’t a fan of the texture of the sea bass Mains Rump steak - over cooked and dry :( Catch of the day - salmon - I’ve never seen salmon as the catch of the day lol. It was so basic - the most edible dish of the night Dessert K25 chicka our cake - kaffir like ice cream - I enjoyed this dessert too. But can you really mess up chocolate ? Strawberry - balsamic, basil yogurt ice cream - literally chopped up strawberries with a dap of basil ice cream. So basic and not worth it Overall, the vibes and the service were impeccable. Come for drinks but I would not recommend the food - especially for this price point.

    I was skeptical about the celeriac steak. But it was quite delicious. Second time to dine here. Haven't been disappointed yet. Great service. Awesome view at the terrace. Indoors is nicely lit too.

    This is a great restaurant with lovely views over the water, either from within the restaurant, or from the terrace. We loved the food and the staff are very helpful and attentive! It also has a bar, which is good for corporate events. We loved the open space within the restaurant. It has a very relaxed feel and you can enjoy your meal in peace.

    Amazing place! I had dinner from their fix meal menu. It was mix of vegetarian and vegan options as every option of vegetarian was not Available. I wish they add few more options for vegetarians more. Food was yummy and tasty. My non vegetarian friends liked what they ordered. So overall a must try restaurant with a nice atmosphere and outside view.

    Been here before, but just for a quick lunch. Today we went for the Sunday brunch. We had the table in the corner, which was lovely. But I think every part of this restaurant is lovely. The food was really good and since one of us is lactose intolerant, they were really trying to find the best solution. The crew is really good, which in Amsterdam is not always a given. So a well deserved 5 star review from me! Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures, because before I knew it my plate was empty.

    Great place for fine dining. They have lots of space so also ideal for large groups. The place is built in sections so can host multiple groups without any dramas. I sat at an outside table overlooking Nemo. Amazing ambiance. The food was great too. I must however note that i was driving and its was just a bit difficult to ascertain if there is parking at the venue or not. I ended up parking about 1km away. Staff was very accommodating as I was almost 20 mins late due to traffic.

    Service was a bit slow despite it being quiet, food was good but nothing memorable. Off the beaten tourist track so plan your route.

  • 3/5 Kristýna B. 1 year ago on Google
    The brunch was actually really good. Nevertheless, we payed for the whole brunch and the waitress charged us 7€ more ( for something that was included in the 3 course menu) and she even wanted us to count ourselves what’s the half when we wanted to split the bill 😅. Except for that, a nice experience.

    The food, decor and the view was good. The service is slow and they promised one workshop for kids that never happened. Try to explain that to your 5 years old kid after 3 hours of they promising that would happen... Not good!

    Incredible food, service, and venue. Beautiful views of the water and cozy environment. The cocktails are phenomenal. All of our plates were perfectly cooked and well-presented. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. We can’t wait to return!

  • 4/5 georginamgo 2 years ago on Google
    modern kitchen, food cooked with care, imagination and knowledge, with unusual and innovative taste combinations. Not all of them work out well, but they are worth trying anyway. About 12 euros for first dishes, 25 for mains and 10 for deserts. Dishes really small, the idea is that you take one of each. Overpriced wine menu. Very friendly staff. It's good for once but no need to return

    Today we went to Kanteen25, the food was really good, they served us really on perfect timing and they took care of us, if everything was good and if we needed anything else. I would come back again, I didn’t liked the way to arrive here because is a little bit difficult but it is really worthy and relaxing.

👍👍 The perfect place to enjoy high-quality seafood at a reasonable price. Was surprised to see this large restaurant buzzing at 5pm (both inside and outside!) but after seeing the fresh fish on display and trying the sashimi which just melts in the mouth I understood why. The staff were also very well-...
