“ So much care and pride going into what this place is putting out there. From the FOH to the food, everything was top! We had a selection of the snacks and loved them all, but the ravioli was just perfection. ”

“ Amazing new restaurant and addition to the Hague. Absolutely delicious refined shared plates, unique cocktails, attentive & kind staff and wonderful atmosphere. I loved the artichoke, the salmon and burrata dish, definitely give those a taste. We will be back soon :) ”
“ Absolutely perfect restaurant, please go here. Supposedly, the chef visits Spain every so often and imports a variety ingredients fresh from there. You can definitely tell this in the pata negra (and the other dish that is similar to it), because that was just fantastic, you'd easily keep eating it and never get around to your main course. The bread also deserves a shout-out; it came with a lavender honey-butter sauce, which was quite delicious! If you put it on the crust of the bread, you tasted an 'ashy' honey-butter flavour, but if you put it on the white/middle of the bread, you tasted the lavender flavour. The cauliflower-chili combination was interesting and surprisingly nice, too! Unlike the other two, I wouldn't order this more than once, but I can always appreciate a unique combination of ingredients that positively surprises you. :) As for the main dishes, the fish was very, very good. It is easy to make a fine to good piece of meat, but the same skill/effort results in a poor to mediocre piece of fish (in my opinion) - but when a fish tastes >good<, it leaves more of an impression, and I tend to enjoy it more than an equally good piece of meat. So, I'm very happy with how the fish was! It also comes with a delicious gravy (which it doesn't need to taste good, let's be clear!). But there is a genuinely good fish, a genuinely good meat, and then... Then there is literally the perfect piece of meat. The meat is possibly the best meat I have ever eaten. Pure bliss, absolute heaven, an angel on your tongue, honestly. And, again, everything just works; the gravy is worth licking off your plate (which I did), and even the 'spitskool' on the side is not just a random addition because 'lol vegetables' but actually works really well both alone as well as with the meat. Absolutely superb, I don't have enough superlatives to describe this dish. The pasta was fine, but I didn't try much of it, so no further comment. The desserts were nice and interesting! The mascarpone was surprisingly nice, and the whole ensemble of strawberries with rhubarb and dragon was refreshingly unique - coming from someone who usually prefers sweet chocolaty desserts, this one was actually my favourite. Sadly, according to Google, the main picture of this dish violates its content policies... You can still see it in the picture with four desserts, but alas. The chocolaty dessert, of white chocolate, chamomile, bee pollen, and honeycombs (?), was nice too, mind! The triangular sticks on top were very nice, but I think the 'ice cream' to the side was a bit too cold to fit well with the whole dish. Not bad at all though - again, I always appreciate unique things, and the entirety of the menu of this restaurant is super unique (except for the bitterballen). Finally, shout-out to the staff; they are super friendly, they know their job, and they know their dishes, not only as a memorised list of ingredients but in the interplay and the art/science behind it. They also know their wines - the wines come mostly from Slovenia and Croatia, I believe, and they know which specific wine (not 'oh a red wine', no, a specific year and brand) goes well with which dish. I like wine only if it's a high quality wine - so I never really order it in restaurants - but I loved the wine here, so, that says enough. My compliments! Please do yourself a favour and visit this restaurant. Please. You can thank me later. ”
