This meal was amazing! There was a miscommunication and unfortunately/fortunately they served us the 8-course instead of the 6 course (which was our fault for not asking for clarification when we were discussing which menu we wanted). As a result of that (and ordering the non-alcoholic pairing menu, which means time between courses is longer because of the complexity of some of the drinks), this meal lasted a whopping 5 hours, by the end of which I was eager to go home. We mentioned it to them at the end and they apologized and said they'd make it right next time we visited. We visited in February, but they were still serving the same menu as they did when we visited last time, so they were kind enough to offer to serve their new menu (which is coming out in a few weeks) early instead of the one we had already, which we took up! It was fantastic and I truly can't wait to find another excuse to have a meal here. My husband's favorite dish of the night (and all-time) was the iberico ham, and my favorite of the night (and again, all time,) was the sweetbreads.

I want to add that this experience has really solidified for me and my husband that we are not cheese-course people, as this was supposed to be the best cheese selection in Holland and we both were very “meh” about it lol. Overall, a great experience
