The staff are super nice and helpful on the boat.Posted on Kate ImbachTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The dinner cruise exceeded my expectations. The food was incredible, the service was excellent, atmosphere totally charming. Even coordinating the logistics in advance was pleasant. It was a very special experience, even for us Amsterdammers who have all been on the canals many many times. It was one of the best activities I've ever done in Amsterdam, and my whole group raved about the experience afterwards.Posted on Darren BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nice experience for a work team meetingPosted on Erik AskvikTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were a group of five who ordered the 4-course menu at Blue Pepper Restaurant, and we were very pleased with the entire experience. The food was excellent, with creative and well-balanced twists that made each dish interesting enhancing the authentic flavors. We were also pleasantly surprised by how beautifully the dishes were presented — elegant and inviting on the plate. The wine pairing matched well, and the service was both professional and friendly. We felt well taken care of throughout the evening. A restaurant we can highly recommend — and one we’ll definitely return to on our next visit to Amsterdam.Posted on Mark DuyvesteynTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Comfortable atmosphere, awesome service, great people and amazing food.Posted on mark rasmussenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been here before. I Always make it a priority when I’m in Amsterdam. It never disappoints. Small bistro serving Se Asian food, principally Indonesian, some Balinese and Sumatran influences. Staff and owner are gracious and friendly. They always make me feel like I’m a valued guest. The food can be spicy (which I like) but I’ve heard other tables ask for milder versions and they were happy to accommodate. They have 3 different rijstafels , all fish, vegetarian and a mixed meat. They do good wine pairings at a very reasonable addition. They serve individual dishes as well, many very beguiling and mouthwatering.Posted on Dagmar BlankTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
