I reserved a table for two for our meal together. The restaurant is well decorated and really beautiful. The food is exquisite and the wine was terrific. So we are eating our way through the dishes we ordered from the menu including Cream of Endive soup, creme de langoustine and grilled Halibut. The restaurant was good enough to understand my medical condition eg:My having had a gastric bypass and served half portions each for my wife and I. This is a rarity I can tell you as usually I am given an empty plate and shares with me her food as ironically, she is not a big eater either. One of the owners recommended me a glass of white wine from a small vineyard in Nimes in the south of France. My goodness, I could easily have consumed a whole bottle! It was so, so good. Yes, the food is delicious. The portions are a good size. The restaurant is clean and one of the owners speaks English very well. However, the menu was only in Dutch so we used the scan function on Google translator to read it. No big deal in a modern world.

A very distinguished establishment with very well-established tables with white striped linen. Where else can you find this? Very competent and friendly staff that, for some dishes, cut your meat or fish at the table and serves you the accompaniment. A pleasant environment in calm and space between tables. All dishes were very tasty and nicely garnished. This is the place to be for quality, freshness and irreproachable service! The client is really king here. An absolute must (Original opinion) Interessant gebouw, met nog een zicht op de werkvloer van Minerva. Een heel gedistingeerd etablissement met zeer verzorgde gedekte tafels met wit gestegen linnengoed. Waar vind I say nog? Uiterst bekwaam en vriendelijk personeel die, bij sommige gerechten, aan tafel uw vlees of vis aansnijden en u bedienen met de bijgerechten. Aangenaam rustig kader en ruimte tussen de tafels. Alle gerechten waren bijzonder smakelijk en mooi gedresseerd. Yesterday moet u zijn voor kwaliteit, versheid en een onberispelijke bediening! Yesterday is klant koning. Een absolute aanrader
