The show cooking is the real deal here&mdash;watching them prep everything right at your table was pretty cool. Food was fresh and tasty, staff friendly. Just a heads up, it gets a bit loud when it&#39;s busy.

The mussels were the real star here. So fresh and cooked just right, not rubbery at all. The broth was light but packed with flavor, perfect for dipping the bread. A nice surprise!

Stopped by for a quick bite in Stene. Eel in cream was solid, shrimp croquettes hit the spot too. Service was friendly and fast enough for a lunch break.

The seafood tasted really fresh and the cooking was simple but done right. Sat near the window, the light was nice but the chairs got a bit hard after a while. Still, comfortable enough to linger over dinner.

Stumbled onto this place on a Saturday night. Service was the highlight&mdash;staff friendly, took time to walk us through the menu in French without us even asking. Food was solid, decent portions. Not the cheapest, but fair for what you get. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Stopped by for a quick bite and went with the BBQ Chicken Pizza. Cooked evenly, decent flavor, though I wished the crust had a bit more char. Had a glass of red with it&mdash;worked fine, nothing fancy. Brownie after was warm and rich, good way to end. Solid spot if you&#39;re craving American-style pizza around here.

The calzone was solid &mdash; good balance of flavors and that little chili kick worked well. You can tell the owners know their stuff. Just wish the seating area was a bit more comfortable, the chairs felt a little stiff after a while.

Pizza was decent, service friendly enough. Place gets busy on weekends, so don&#39;t expect a quiet meal. Fine for a quick bite, nothing fancy.

Great gluten-free options and the staff actually knew what they were talking about. Felt safe eating here, which is rare for me. Service was spot on too.

The scampi was the reason I came and honestly it didn&rsquo;t disappoint. Cooked just right, juicy, not rubbery at all. Chips were fine, nothing to write home about though. Place was busy for a Tuesday, had to wait a bit for the table but once we sat down, service picked up. Would go back for those scampi again.

The terrace is the main reason to come here&mdash;right on the square, perfect for watching people go by. Food was decent, nothing mind-blowing. Staff were friendly enough. But honestly, for the portion size they give you, the bill felt a bit steep. I get that you&#39;re paying for the location, but I left still a little hungry. Fine for a one-off drink, maybe not a full meal.

The beef cheek was spot on&mdash;slow cooked just right, fell apart without trying. Wine list is deep but prices stay fair, which I appreciated. Garden seating looked nice but I didn&#39;t bother, came for the food. Only thing: accessible restroom was out of order, bit annoying. Still, the main plate did the talking.

The kitchen runs all afternoon, which is how we ended up there. Sole and rib-eye were solid, apple tart with ice cream hit the spot.

Nice place for a casual dinner. The staff was really friendly and made us feel welcome. Food was decent, but honestly, the portions felt a bit small for the price. My main dish was gone in a few bites.

Booked ahead and it was packed, so that was the right call. The roast duck panaeng curry was rich, though I wished for a bit more fresh veg on the side. Spring rolls were a decent start.

The food was super good and the service was impeccable, very nice staff. We did find the ambient way too warm and the food took a while but it was, overall, a great night with super good food.

Service was quick and the mixed grill was decent, just a bit smaller than I expected. Good spot for a casual catch-up with friends though 👍

The staff really made us feel looked after, even with our kids in tow. Food was solid too. Just glad we managed to get a table.

Food came out fast, which I appreciated. Got the daily special and it hit the spot. Nothing fancy, just solid and quick. Good spot if you need a bite without the wait.

House aperitif was a nice surprise. Grilled sole tasted fresh, nothing fancy but done right. Solid spot if you want a simple meal without the fuss.

Bouillabaisse was solid. Big bowl, lots of fish and shellfish, broth had real depth. Portion&#39;s generous for the price. That&#39;s about it.

The lobster was really fresh, that&rsquo;s the main thing I remember. Fish dish came out simple, well cooked, no fuss. I sat on the terrace and the sea view made it even better. Not a huge menu, but for seafood it felt honest. I&rsquo;d go back just for that freshness.

Popped in for a quick lunch. Mussels were spot on, fresh and plenty of them. Service was fast, didn&#39;t have to wait long at all. Price was fair for what you get. Place gets busy around noon but they keep things moving. Solid spot if you need a proper meal without wasting your whole break.

Cozy place, liked the interior a lot. Fish stew and the handmade croquettes were solid. Service felt a bit random though, depends on the day I guess.

Food was good and the plating looked nice, but service dragged a bit. Takeaway orders seemed to jump the line. Would still go back for the pasta though.

Came here on a weekday evening, sat on the covered veranda in the back. That spot alone is worth it, pretty chill. Had a few dishes, all well presented and cooked properly. Portions are decent for the price, honestly hard to find that balance these days. Service was fine, nothing special, but I left satisfied.

We came here on a weeknight and it was pretty busy, but the vibe was nice. Service was friendly and they helped us with the menu since our Dutch is limited. I had the skate and it was cooked well, decent portion. My partner&rsquo;s bison was good too. Dessert was fine, nothing crazy. Overall a solid spot if you&#39;re in the area.

The owner gave us a little tour of his private museum before we sat down to eat. You can tell he really cares about keeping the memory of the soldiers alive. Food was decent, nothing fancy, but the passion made it worth stopping. Glad we picked this place.

The Holstein carpaccio with foie gras was the highlight for me. Set menu had plenty of options, though the price felt a bit steep for what you get. Service was quick and friendly.

Drove a long way for this. The local ingredients were the star. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtful. Worth the trip.
