Our experience was insanely good from the beginning, with insane being the best word to describe it. We met Hans having a cigarette out the front of the restaurant and got introduced to his absolutely wonderful dog, Chiara. She has a cushion in the restaurant...and throughout the evening was happy wandering around the tables, playing with her toy octopus and generally saying Hello to the diners. This is NOT a posh, waiters kissing your bum, everything is shiny and new type of place. This is an amazing food, amazing wine pairing, amazing company kind of place, where you have to appreciate there's more to life than boring chain restaurants or restaurants with good food but no soul. We chose the 6 courses and arrived at 6.30pm - we left incredibly full and happy at 10.15pm so don't expect to be in and out in a couple of hours, this is a whole evening experience. We'd absolutely come back and whilst my Husband loved the "good wine" pairing, he said he'd choose the "excellent" wine pairing as he genuinely enjoyed it so much. Great evening and made our trip to Amsterdam even more memorable. If you do visit - make sure you give Chiara (Who Hans rescued from being put to sleep) lots of love and cuddles :-)More
