Wines were good. I had wished that the people knew more about the wines. I would have expected that given the price. The ambience was good, a bit too much light for my liking. Location great. The food was unbalanced, too salty and sometimes uncomfortable. We found sand in our kale, and the mousse was grainy. The hosts were kind, but some where really distant and seems unauthentic. We felt really disappointed.

We enjoyed a really nice dinner in Putaine. We both had oysters, two cold and two warm dishes and desserts. The food was really good and the portions quite inventive. The wine list was well thought out, easy to read and versatile.

The service and atmosphere were perfect, cozy but still classy. Taste was close to perfect, but when I compare it to some fine dining restaurants in Rotterdam, I think there was still a little last touch to be given towards perfection. But very close still. Thank you very much!
