They were very helpful in helping us navigate the menu, as my wife and I had never tried Dutch food before. There are plenty of options for vegans (I highly recommend the tofu kapsalon), but also choices for non-vegan companions. This has become my go-to restaurant in Springfield since my first visit. My only criticism is that they should clearly label the vegetarian options on the menu. While they only mark vegan dishes, there are some items that could easily be made vegetarian with a simple substitution, like switching out non-vegan sauces. It would be beneficial for them to offer this option. I hope that the management/owners will take this feedback into consideration.

The food is quite good, with the sweet soup and tofu scramble being my favorite dishes. However, the customer service is terrible - the staff is rude and unhelpful. I know of four separate groups who have had similar experiences at this pretentious establishment. I recommend eating there, but be aware that if you ask for anything or require any kind of assistance, they may refuse to help you. I had an incident where a waiter added fake tips to our bill, but when we called to complain, they gave us a gift card that we never got to use because they found a reason to ban us from returning. Keep this in mind when considering dining at this restaurant.

They have a few good vegan options and knowledge team that could probably help if you didn't see something you liked. I haven't utilized the patio area yet, but I love that they have it available for warmer months. A little pricey and not somewhere I would go often, but cute to check out and stop by on occasion.

The interior design is a definite nod from Scandinavian and Dutch influences...minimal and streamlined...light, airy and comfortable. We were pleased to see a familiar face running the front of the house with whom we've always had a great experience...whether it was Nonna's, Cafe Cusco and now Van Gogh's, her knowledge of the menu and the wine selections are spot on. The entrées were terrific with my wife opting for one of the savory pancakes with shawarma beef paired with greens and a curry catsup. I went with the Dutch Meatballs with a gravy over mashed potato with kraut and bacon, flanked by fresh greens. The dish was simple, comfort food just perfect for a cool evening. We would highly recommend Van Gogh's and look forward to the next opportunity to try more of the menu.

They offer a variety of vegan options, all of which are absolutely delicious. The ambiance is lovely, the service is outstanding, and the coffee is great – not to mention the fantastic food! I wholeheartedly recommend this place to everyone. The meals are fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. I’m eager to explore their lunch and dinner menus next! A bonus for fellow vegans: the staff is accommodating and friendly, making it easy to navigate the menu without any awkwardness. We tried the Tofu Scramble, Daubigny’s Garden, and the Fruit Platter with a vegan pancake. There were even more options we didn’t get to sample due to being so full. The servings are large and incredibly satisfying!

The staff were incredibly friendly and extremely helpful in explaining the various menu options. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lovely, and overall, it was a wonderful experience! I highly recommend the Sunflower breakfast pancake and the dessert pancake, Death by Chocolate! I can't wait to return!

The vibrant colors and Dutch-inspired decor are absolutely delightful. As for the food, I took my kind waiter’s suggestion and tried Daubigny’s Garden—a wonderful and subtle blend of flavors served on a traditional Dutch pannenkoeken. I enjoyed a cup of coffee, sipped on some refreshing water, and had plenty of leftovers to savor later. My only wish is that I had room for dessert, but I suppose that will have to wait until next time... and I am definitely looking forward to returning! Thank you for a wonderful experience, Van Gogh’s Eeterie!

For entrees we had the meatball stamppot and the Aruba pannenkoeken. Very yummy and good sized portions. For dessert we went all out and got all of them! Not really! We had the stroopwafel and the double Dutch tiramisu. Wow: . We will return.

While the place has a promising appearance and cute decor, the food is far from authentic. They had been out of bitterballen and kroketten for a year, even though those items were still listed on the menu, which indicates they aren't made fresh. I ordered Oma's vegetable soup and a tosti, but it turned out to be just a mushroom soup with a grilled cheese sandwich on the side. The Dutch fries were topped with mayonnaise and large pieces of onion—something I had never seen before—and they weren't that tasty. The pancake was mediocre; nothing special at all. As for the stroopwafels, they were smothered in so much caramel that they were far too sticky to eat and not traditional at all. It was such a disappointment, especially since I drove four hours to visit this restaurant, hoping for a taste of home. I didn’t expect the staff to speak Dutch, but a simple Dutch greeting would have been a nice touch.

I really enjoy the food and the decor, especially the lovely sunflowers in the backyard, and the tea is fantastic. The staff is always eager to answer any questions I have.

They have a variety of options and cater well to vegans, with clearly marked menu items. The only confusion I had was figuring out which pancake toppings were vegan and how to customize my drinks to be vegan. The food is good, but not amazing to me, as I'm not a huge fan of Dutch cuisine. Despite that, I always enjoy dining here with my coworkers and find the restaurant's atmosphere to be relaxing.

My meal was delicious and can’t wait to go back and try others. I forget the name of it but I had a Brat with mashed potatoes and veggies with sunflower pesto. So yummy! They also have vegan breakfast items but I was there for dinner

The food is pretty good, with the vegetable soup and tofu scramble being my favorite dishes. Customer service is horrible- they are entitled millennials who ban people who question them- know 4 separate groups that have been “cancelled” by this pretentious place. Eat there but don’t question anything or make any kind of concern or they will ban you. This happened shortly after a waiter ran up fake tips and they called us later to tell us, and then gave us a gift card we never got to use because they found a reason to not let us come back when we complained about the service.

They were very helpful in picking what to eat. My wife and I had never had Dutch food before and were lost but the staff were excellent. Many great options for vegans (I recommend tofu kapsalon), but also options for your non-vegan friends and family who might balk at a vegan-only place. This is my go-to restaurant when I am in Springfield ever since my first visit. Criticism: They really ought to mark the vegetarian options. They have tons, but they only mark vegan. They have some dishes that will never work as vegan, but several others that easily could if they used a single substitution, like vegan ice cream. It would be low-effort to make that available but they haven't. I expect management/owners would listen if suggestions were made.
