We ordered a meat dish with pepper sauce that was not good. Neatly indicated that the meat was not good and that the sauce was of poor quality, and the dish was returned without eating it. The owner then comes with an arrogant attitude, a...fast jacket and a Rolex on his wrist and says that he wants to maintain his self-esteem and therefore will not take it off the bill. It is not about the money but about the extremely arrogant attitude and working method, which still leads to the service to 1 star. Very unfortunate as a repeat guest, because it is a beautiful tent and the service staff do their very best. Nice place for a drink, don't stay away for dinner. There are countless businesses in Haarlem where value for money and genuine service are truly paramountMore

Excellent, great and friendly service. Nice atmosphere and ambiance, clean toilets. But most important. Great menu, delicious food choices, with live prepared. Price-quality-quantity in line. So, highly recommendable.

Nice looking restaurant, quirky, good atmosphere. We enjoyed the food, but a bit pricey. We had a sofa, which was very comfy, but not the best to eat dinner at.

A great evening on 25 Dec 2022; excellent food , amazing ambience , service is a little hit and miss and were left waiting for drinks and re-orders of fresh drinks - that’s the only thing that lets the place down, the slow service -...we had a table in the brasserie bar areaMore

Me and my wife came here to enjoy the lunch on the terrace. We had as a starter the oysters and then the tuna tartare. Everything was amazing. Also the service was really good and the waitress was very kind. The Chablis premier cru is...very recommendable… also the interior looks very nice and cozy and we will come back to have dinner there.More

Slow service, stuck in an undesirable spot , so so and limited menu, there are much better options all around. Perhaps a decent place for a cocktail and location is very nice

We took a table on the terrace and it was the perfect spot to eat and people watch. Everything we ate was lovely, the service was friendly and the wine was spot on. We did a tour of the menu, sampling the oysters (the Laotion...vinaigrette was awesome) which were tasty, the "torched truffle beef nigiri" (divine), the seafood soup (rich and flavorful) and the salad nicoise (perfect). We also enjoyed a lovely Bobbys Gin and Tonic and a perfect carafe of rose. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!More

Barman Maize (sp?) was spot on! He new his bar and how to serve. I requested a specific style, and he provided it to me as I asked, neat, in order to taste the drink itself. He also offered tonic and garnish to enhance the...drinking experience. After moving to the table, he brought two more and inquired of my friend her opinion of the drink. He met with continued success and praise from my friend. Service was prompt, friendly, and attentive. I chose one of the signature main dishes, Côte de Boeuf. We were able to select from one of three prices. Each was well-marbled. I appreciated that each cut was slightly different, with different amounts of intramuscular fat. However, I was surprised that the fat was white. Asking about the life and feed of the bovids, I was informed that they were indeed grain-finished [FYI: a diet of only grass leads to a yellowed and differently flavor]. As we awaited the main course, we partook of delicious local oysters.More

The interior of the restuarant is really nice and comfortable. Not only because of the design and decorations. Also because of the very adequate accoustic messures. Even when it's busy and the music is loud you still can have a conversation with your company. The...food was also good. However I won't return: The music was too loud and not suitable for a comfortable meal. A request to turn it down was gruffly rejected. 'This is our concept, we can't do that'. The service was very impersonal, to a point of being rude. Beside that, it was annoying that all staff members were walking around with a phone in their ear. It created a feeling that there always are more important issues or contact than the guest.More
