I came here for an excellent dinner with a friend.
My experience was fantastic right from the get-go: I made a reservation by email, which was replied to within a day. I asked about dairy-free options and Monique let me know that it wouldn't be a problem whatsoever. Once we got to the restaurant, the server (possibly Monique herself) let me know that they were going to keep the dairy allergy top of mind, and did so when we ordered our dishes.
I would describe the food here as Dutch Colonial, in that there were a lot of mainland Dutch/European items with a few colonial things, like Indonesian fried rice and their special of that day, Caribbean-style oxtail. A truly interesting concept for a restaurant. We both ordered the $37 prix fixe and split everything:
Bitterballen: fantastic! Deep fried goodness with a soft, somewhat gooey meat interior. They complemented the different mustards perfectly and were my favourite thing from dinner
Fish cakes: quite good
Nasi goreng: a very tasty take on fried rice that I haven't had before.
Duck confit: very good, though I've had crispy duck confit before and I'm still kind of chasing that dragon.
Dessert: I got the date... pudding? I can't remember exactly, but it was very good and not too sweet. It was great to have a non-dairy (well there's butter in it) dessert on the menu that wasn't a bowl of fruit.
The place itself is lovely, with a giant sunny window in the front. Service was super friendly and we felt welcome and taken care of the entire time. There will definitely be a repeat visit!
