Plenty of veggie and vegan options, which I always appreciate. Kids&#39; menu was a nice touch too. Outdoor seating was fine, parking in the back is a bonus. Decent spot for a casual bite.

The fish stew was decent but nothing crazy. The poultry spring roll though&mdash;definitely the highlight. Eat it first, the stew&#39;s flavor kinda overpowers everything after.

The seafood platter was fresh, no complaints there. Tried the grilled octopus too&mdash;soft, decent char. Portion size was fair for the price. Place gets loud when full, but I wasn&#39;t there for the quiet. Just the food.

The pistachio ice cream was genuinely good&mdash;creamy, not too sweet. But the service felt a bit rushed when I visited. Guess that&#39;s what happens on a busy afternoon. Still, I&#39;d go back for another scoop. Maybe just pick a quieter time.

The 6-course with wine pairing hit the right notes&mdash;each pour matched the dish better than the last. Cozy room, staff let us take our time. Maybe slightly pricey but worth it for the experience.

Owner picked our dishes for us. Lamb was the highlight, prawns done just right. That mushroom gratin though - really good. They even had gluten-free bread which was nice for my friend. Place was busy but we got a table fine. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Came for the mixed grill, left full. Curries were rich, proper spice level. Portion sizes are no joke &mdash; good for the price. Place was busy but we got seated quick. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and hungry.

The flat white was honestly the best I&rsquo;ve had in a while. Rich, not burnt, and the milk was steamed just right. Service was quick even though they were busy. Only downside, the seating is a bit cramped if you want to stay and work. But for a quick coffee stop, it&rsquo;s solid.

The first stop on our food tour and honestly it set the bar pretty high. The sommelier knew exactly what to pour with each course. That first dish alone was worth the walk over. Wish we&#39;d had more time to just sit and linger over the wine list.

The terrace is really nice for a quick stop. I had the mushroom soup with bread and it was honestly the highlight&mdash;creamy but not too heavy. My partner got the smash burger and it was a proper double, messy in the best way. Inside is cozy too. Only thing is it got a bit busy around noon, but fine for a casual bite.

The interior is really nicely done &mdash; cozy and warm without being overdone. Sat near the window and the light made it feel even more inviting.

Came here for a quick bite with some friends. The all-you-can-eat deal is solid for the price. Staff were friendly enough, didn&#39;t have to wait long for refills. Place gets loud though, hard to hear the person next to you. Still, for a casual dinner, it does the job.

Friendly staff, took my gluten-free needs seriously. Even helped me pick a wine that worked with the meal.

Stopped by for dinner and honestly the food was fresh, nicely plated. I had a glass of their house red with the catch of the day &mdash; decent pour, paired well. Staff friendly without hovering. Place is a bit hidden around the back, easy to walk past. Not a bad spot if you&#39;re in the area.

The fish was really good and the roast beef salad had a decent portion for the price. We paid around what I&#39;d expect for this area, so no complaints there. Place was busy but we got a table without waiting too long. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the neighborhood again.

The rijstaffel was solid&mdash;lots of little dishes, all pretty tasty. Sitting by the window got a bit warm though, which was slightly uncomfortable. Still, the food made up for it. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back for that spread again. Just maybe ask for a table further inside next time.

Ordered the barbecued beef medium and it came exactly as asked. Sides were a nice mix too. Portion felt right, and the place had a good vibe.

The waffles were good, but honestly the service stood out&mdash;they brought everything to us across the street.

The margherita here is spot on. Thin, crispy crust, decent amount of toppings, not too greasy. I&rsquo;ve had it a few times now and it&rsquo;s been consistent each time. That&rsquo;s pretty much all I need from a pizza place. Solid if you&rsquo;re nearby and just want a proper pie.

The concept is nice and the place feels cozy. Food was tasty, service felt genuine. Portions were a bit small for what you pay though.

The lighting is warm without trying too hard, and the food matches that vibe. Had the grilled fish&mdash;simple but cooked properly. Service was friendly, no one hovering or rushing you out. Just a relaxed spot to sit and eat. Maybe slightly pricey for what it is, but I didn&rsquo;t mind.

The steak and fries were solid, and the salad had a good amount of shrimp on it. Portions felt right for sharing, and the price was fair. Beer was the real highlight here. Coffee was a bit of a letdown, but that&rsquo;s not why I&rsquo;d come back. Seats were comfortable enough to stay a while.

Zeegster burger was solid. Really juicy, good bun. Staff were quick, friendly enough. Satay came out a bit dry though, overcooked. Also noticed a few hygiene things that kinda put me off. Not sure if I&#39;d rush back, but the burger itself did the job.

The interior is modern without feeling cold &mdash; good lighting, tables spaced out enough that you&#39;re not overhearing the next conversation. Sat near the window and it was pretty comfortable. They&#39;ve got an outdoor terrace too, which is nice if you catch a sunny day. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back just for that.

The terrace really caught my eye&mdash;looks gorgeous, even if we ended up sitting inside. Traditional meat dishes were solid, nothing fancy but well done. Owner came across as genuinely friendly, made the place feel welcoming. Would&#39;ve liked to sit outside though, maybe next time when the weather cooperates.
