Negative experience. Yesterday, Saturday 4.30pm my wife and myself wanted to have a drink at the Sofa terrace. We wanted to taste the atmosphere in order to understand if this could be a future place for a dinner with friends since a business relation recommended this to me. The terrace was less then 20% occupied and already prepared for dinner, we were told they were full. We left the place, we were flabbergasted, not even to mention the arrogant waiter, there are so many ways to say "no". Never ever we will visit this place again, there are many other restaurants in the area that truly respect their customers, this restaurant is not worth your money. We drove in the direction of Kanne and enjoyed a glass of wine at a terrace , we only needed 45 minutes to relax... p.s. after reading the various reviews posted here, I must conclude our experience was not an incident. Apparently others had the same type of treatment. To all my business contacts I will recommend to avoid this place.

This restaurant is beautifully located just outside of Maastricht, along the Maas, at the yacht harbor. A small vineyard and nice landscaping make finish the beautiful scenery. The menu is not too extensive but offers choices for fish, meat and vegetarian French cuisine style dishes. I was particularly impressed with our salmon starter. The flavours were amazing and we love salmon sashimi. The main course was also well prepared, both the pork and the tenderloin. Both the starter as well as the mains were plated nicely. Dessert was excellent as well. Staff is friendly and helpful. Expect to wait 20min between courses. Prices are slightly above average for Maastricht but their 3 course set menu is priced very friendly. Expect to spend a little over 100,- for a full set meal for 2 persons, depending on your drinking habits of course.

Loved the soup: cauliflower soup with vadouvan was 100% . the order of meals was different; am not sure it it was by design

Sehr schlechter Service. Junger Kellner lustlos und unmotiviert. Auf 3 Eis ca. 45 Min. gewartet. Wie man Getränke serviert, war Ihm wohl nicht geläufig. Flasche und Glas zwischen Fingern geklemmt. Aber das beste, Rechnungsbetrag war 39,00 €. 45 € mir den Hinweis auf 43 € gezahlt. Weder ein "Danke" noch Restrückgabe. Wahrscheinlich lag es an unserer Nationalität, Niederländer wurden sofort bedient. Kunden die nach uns kamen, hatten Ihre Speisen früher als wir unser Eis. Wir wissen, das SOFA hochpreisig, aber auch qualitativ hochwertig ist. Dazu gehört aber auch Fachpersonal, keine lustlosen Aushilfen. Für Qualität zahlen wir gern. Dann muss aber auch alles stimmen. Das ist hier nicht der Fall

This is one of the best restaurants I have visited the previous period. It is located beautifully in an isolated area close to Maastricht. Upon arrival the staff welcomed us and offered the house cocktail (Balon 43) which tasted really good. We took the 3-course menu with cheese as desert. We asked if there was a possibility to get the steaktartar as starter. The waitress couldn't promise but would try. We received a delicious steak tartar. Also the main course of meat was excellent. All in all, this diner outside was just excellent and the staff contributed to that for sure. Would go here again! Ps the vintage Tawny port of Croft is absolutely recommended with the cheese.

Sofa restaurant is located on the beautiful grounds of Kasteel De Hooghenweert, but not part of the same business group as the hotel. The Sofa restaurant has beautiful settings, both outdoor as indoor. It is a true pleasure to spend time here on dry summer afternoons and evenings. One day we had lunch and the next day dinner in the restaurant’s outdoor area. Quite a lot of people on both days, mix of locals and tourists, and you could tell that people did travel on purpose here. All food and wine we tried was delicious. Service very attentive, professional, while pleasantly informal. I would highly recommend this restaurant when in the Maastricht – Aachen – Liege area and planning a small detour.

Food and service excellent..Local beers also very good.

Das ist ein Restaurant mit Wow Effekt. Man kommt rein, und schon kommt das erste Wow. So schön eingerichtet mit Alt/Neu Design. Personal ist sehr freundlich, hat Sinn für Humor und sehr hilfsbereit. Die Speisekarte ist entweder auf Holländisch oder Englisch aber es wird dir geholfen. Das Essen war das nächste Wow. Wir haben Steak und Kalbsrüppchen gegessen und was soll ich sagen....... da können die Fernsehen Spitzenköche einpacken. Ich freue mich schon auf Juli, da werden wir wieder Maastricht sein und natürlich auch dort essen gehen.

Mixed feelings about this. The food was wonderful but the duck was not up to expectations. I've had much better. Knife provided didn't cut the meat well. But the rest of the dishes were fantastic

An excellent family-friendly restaurant serving amazing food. The staff is very friendly. One thing we disliked is too much physical contact from a waiter like a pat on the back or touching a baby's face; this should not be allowed and especially not amidst a global pandemic. All in all, we were very happy and will be coming back.

We were a party of 18. No vegetarian options on the set menu on Sundays (it’s only on the small print that it’s a set menu that day), so they said we could choose from A La Carte which seemed like a good solution but then they charged all the set menus AND the separate items we ordered for the vegetarians, so effectively 4 of us ended up paying for two menus each which is really unfair. On top of that one waiter was extremely rude to my 11 year old son in response to a question about when the mains were coming (as it was late and he was trying to decide whether to go to bed (as we were staying at the wonderful venue next door) or wait around for longer). So overall, I feel cheated and very disappointed. The food was alright. Snobby attitude from some of the staff which is a real shame.

Nice dishes, fine dining! Delicious food in an elegant atmosphere!

Great food and nice location. Great for events

What a fantastic spot! We felt at ease right from the reception. Jean Paul was super friendly and an excellent host. Kiki, the waitress, was a delight – open, charming, and real, just like the rest of the service staff. The food was delicious, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. Can't wait to come back!

Great food & service, beautiful location!

I don't give 5 stars because the cheeses are a big joke and even a shame. As a French person I felt offended and scamed. However all the rest is perfect

Beautiful location but very bad service. Looks like a nice idea to combine with the hotel next door but ended up for dinner somewhere else.

With 5 people, everyone was very satisfied. Good service, good food. Nice place, nice location.

Wonderful friendly service. Delicious food surprising wine from the Vineyard next door!

Excellent service by staff. They have also gone out of their way to stick to COVID restrictions. The food was great too - the sea bass was cooked to crisp perfection.

very nice place and delicious food
