I visited this restaurant for the high google reputation and easy to go from Tony's chocolate supermarket.
And it was so crowded when I visited there that there's no table seat for me.
I understand the reason for that when I tasted their dishes and received their service.
They were all very nice and the service was so pleasant.
It's a little far from Amsterdam Central Station, but it's worth visiting there.

Small restaurant but has incredible food. I had their muscle and Indonesian coconut chicken, which were all very very flavorful and tender. My friends had tomato soup and a 3 flavoured mousse and duck. Also very tender and flavourful. Very unique style of delivering their menu- their staff describes each appetizer and main course. Went on a Tuesday at 4:30pm and there was no wait. Would definitely come again

Service was great, food as well. We had the steak and duck, outstanding. The girl serving us was amazing and had a lot of patience. I’d definitely throw in a real menu for us that are more “complicated” to order, otherwise it was a brilliant experience. We are definitely coming back! The price for 2 starters, 2 main meals, 2 side dishes and a bottle of wine was around 100€ which is more than reasonable!

Tourist should avoid this restaurant! No menu, need to listen the staff to read the menu to you. Don’t go there if your English or Dutch is not good as you will have problem for ordering. I don’t know how do they serve customer having hearing problem. There is no where to list out the exact charge on food, drinks, service etc (they just give you a range). You only able to know it after getting the bill. But of cost you can request them to give you the total amount after ordering. Service is just average, they will not say a thank you to you if you don’t give the tips.

Apart from that, food quality is acceptable. The mussels are good. Tender beef is not as good as stating in other comments. Ordered a hot water cost us 1.5 €. Coz of unknown price of food. We didn’t order much and desire eat somewhere else after.

We searched the place out as Rick Steve's recommendation.
Excellent service.  The menu was verbal, and the servers were excellent in english.  We had the Stillton cheese appetizer and the Curry soup both phenomenal. The Venison with a gingerbread infused gravy, and the Indonesian chicken had superb flavors.
When we are back in Amsterdam, we will return.
