Great place to bring your partner/friends for an evening meal. Food was good as was the service albeit I thought the wine was a bit pricey. £40 euros for an everyday Pinot Griego was a bit heavy I thought and all other wines were more. Nonetheless, well worth a visit and I'd go back if I visited Amsterdam again.
