Our experience started with a problem with the reservation. They did not have it on the list. It was new years eve and I've booked it 2 months in advance and confirmed a day before. But they still had an open table, so we managed to sit down. The menu was fixed at 110 euros per person with a choice of a starter and a drink. The service was OK, however we asked several times for tap water for the table, when they finally brought it it was 15 euros per bottle and lasted for 4 glasses. We didn't know any better so we went with it. Turned out they also had free tap water carafes, they just decided they can ballon the price. That practice is popular in restaurants, it does not make it any better or less rude. After that came the food. It was OK. It came really late, but it was a taster menu of 13 things, so it is to be expected. The dishes were very oily. A lot of them came already cold, even tho they should have been served hot, like for example the stew. Two of the 13 things was rice, one plain one fried. Between four people it disappeared almost immediately as it was served in tiny bowls like the rest of the selection. We finished about 50-60% of the food. I cannot say it wasn't tasty, some of it was quite nice, but it definitely was much less appealing cold than it would have been hot. It was the evening of new years eve, so the staff was pushing us to finish quickly and move to the crowded bar. Overall, we spend just over 500 euros and left quite unsatisfied. Maybe they would have been better on a regular evening? But then again, looking at all the other reviews, they say pretty much the same things regardless of the time of the year... If you're looking to spend a lof of money and have a mediocre experience, this is the place for you.

Food, service and atmosohere were all great. Quantity and quality of the rijsttafel both excellent. We were disappointed by the desserts, however. They were tiny and not that tasty.

Good food! Expensive though but original modern twist of the rijsttafel! Always weird when nobody speaks Dutch while in a restaurant in Amsterdam...so, it is also explicitly called rice table by the servants...

The maitre d’ told us they were fully booked and turned us away. We booked on OpenTable and went back 15 mins later and were seated in the half empty restaurant. They were whispering about us, quite rude. The waitress spilt food on our table and just left it there. The food was excellent.
