The white asparagus was the star&mdash;fresh, simple, cooked just right. First of the season, too. Everything else was fine, but that dish alone is why I&#39;d come back.

Cozy spot inside the old town hall&mdash;loved the stained glass and original tiles. Had a nice glass of wine with my meal, fair price for the quality. Staff knew their stuff too.

The dolmadakia here are seriously good &mdash; best I&#39;ve had outside Greece. Would totally come back with my friends for a casual dinner.

For around &euro;30 per person including drinks, the value is quite reasonable. The portions are generous and the quality of ingredients is evident.

The waiters were all very friendly and always with a smile on their face BUT-We had to wait almost 1 hours for our food to arrive-The quality of the food was very low and way overpriced, a student after a heavy night of partying could have prepared it better. Geitenkaas salad was a joke for !!!19 euros!!!! My favorite salad here in NL but that was just lazy and cheaply prepared. My girlfriend had a small paprika filled with cream cheese that tasted like nothing for 20! Euros. The bread in beginning was raw in the middle and the kruidenboter was dry and seemed old. Such a pity because the place itself was very cozy.

Been coming here for a while now. The flavors stay consistent every single time, which is honestly why I keep going back.

Thin, crispy crust and the toppings were fresh. Pretty decent pizza overall, though nothing mind-blowing. Fine for a casual bite.

Came here with a couple of mates for beer tasting. They even had the 0.0% option, which was nice since one of us doesn&#39;t drink. Tasty stuff and didn&#39;t break the bank. Place gets a bit busy later on, but we managed fine. Good enough for a casual afternoon out.

The truffle pasta at lunch was solid. Pasta cooked right, sauce had real depth. For 12 euros, that&#39;s a good deal. Maybe the portion could be bigger, but I left satisfied. I&#39;d come back for that dish alone.

The lamb was pretty good, and the tzatziki tasted fresh. Portion size was decent for the price, which I appreciated. Sat in the conservatory area, a bit warm and cramped, but the food made up for it. Would go back if I&#39;m craving Greek and don&#39;t want to spend a fortune.

Came here while passing through and honestly didn&rsquo;t expect much in a small town. Food was fresh and tasty, service quick. Only downside&mdash;they were out of fish that day. Still a decent stop.

Came here for a quick bite with some friends. The all-you-can-eat deal is solid for the price. Staff were friendly enough, didn&#39;t have to wait long for refills. Place gets loud though, hard to hear the person next to you. Still, for a casual dinner, it does the job.

Friendly staff, took my gluten-free needs seriously. Even helped me pick a wine that worked with the meal.

Lovely spot right on the lake, almost feels like a mini seaside escape. Schnitzel was a bit dry though, kinda like a frozen one. Penne looked nice but needed more flavor. Bit pricey for what it is.

The pork knuckle was spot on. Crispy skin, tender meat, and the gravy actually had flavor. Portion size was generous for the price. Didn&#39;t need to ask for anything extra. Just solid food.

We booked ahead by email and got a super friendly reply. Honestly, the food was tasty and the beer hit the spot. But the service really stood out&mdash;they made us feel so welcome, like we were regulars. Perfect spot for a chill catch-up with friends. Just wish we&#39;d found it sooner!

Came here on a random weekday evening and grabbed a table in the beer garden. Pork chop from the open fire was solid, properly smoky and juicy. Portion size is generous for the price, I left full without feeling ripped off. Beer was cold and fresh. Service was friendly but a bit slow when it got busy. Fine for a casual dinner if you&#39;re not in a rush.

The pizza was really good for the price, no complaints there. Service was quick too, which I appreciated. Only thing I noticed was the seating felt a bit cramped, not the most comfortable for a longer meal. But if you just want a solid pizza without spending too much, it does the job.

The fish was really good and the roast beef salad had a decent portion for the price. We paid around what I&#39;d expect for this area, so no complaints there. Place was busy but we got a table without waiting too long. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the neighborhood again.

The rijstaffel was solid&mdash;lots of little dishes, all pretty tasty. Sitting by the window got a bit warm though, which was slightly uncomfortable. Still, the food made up for it. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back for that spread again. Just maybe ask for a table further inside next time.

The terrace seating was really comfortable, nice breeze while we ate. Apple pie and sorbet hit the spot. Service was friendly enough, no complaints.

The concept is nice and the place feels cozy. Food was tasty, service felt genuine. Portions were a bit small for what you pay though.

Stopped in for coffee and cake on a quiet afternoon. The apple cake was really good&mdash;moist, not too sweet, with a nice crumb. I liked that the fruit tasted fresh, not like it had been sitting around. Staff were friendly too, even when I asked to take a photo. Just a solid spot for a simple break.

The tiramisu was the highlight for me &mdash; really fresh, not too sweet. Owner seemed genuinely nice too. Just wish the portions were a bit bigger.

Pizza was ready when we got there, even though we ordered while still loading the car. Thin crust, decent amount of toppings, and it came pre-sliced which made eating in the parking lot way easier. Paid around &euro;12 for a medium, felt fair for what you got. Not the best pizza I&#39;ve had in the Netherlands, but solid for a quick bite before hitting the road.

The apple pie with real whipped cream was the standout. Crust was buttery, filling had just enough cinnamon, and the cream was properly thick. Ate it on the terrace watching the square do its thing. Pie did most of the talking. Service was fine but honestly I was too busy with that slice to care much about anything else.

The pasta with beef tenderloin strips was the standout for me&mdash;really fresh, and the meat was cooked nicely. We also grabbed the antipasti platter to start, which was solid. Place was a bit busy when we got there, but food came quick enough. Would go back for that pasta again.
