    Dinner at De Tafel was quite an experience and a very pleasant one. Our waiter Nathan was exceptional. We were blown away by the presentation of each course

    A really fantastic dining experience - the food was outstanding, in terms of creativity and inclusion of local ingredients, in terms of presentation, and most importantly, in terms of taste. My friend out from the UK said it was better than La Colombe! The service from Teegan was excellent. Although the dining area in this part of the hotel is not airconditioned it was very comfortable even for lunch on a hot day.

    The Evening started good, but once we had the firdt complaint regarding the sorbet, service started to get bad and towards the end basically didn´t exist anymore. One of my worst experiences in a fine dining restaurant !

    de Tafel responded on Thu 12 Mar 26:
    Dear Joerg, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent visit to De Tafel. We are naturally very concerned to read about your experience, particularly as the level of service you describe is not consistent with the feedback we regularly receive from our guests, including those who dined with us on the same evening. Our team works hard to ensure that every guest receives attentive, professional service and an experience that exceeds expectations, which is why your comments are both surprising and disappointing to read. We understand that you raised a concern regarding the sorbet course, and we regret if the way this was handled gave you the impression that the service declined afterwards. That is certainly not the standard we aim to deliver, and it does not reflect the level of hospitality that De Tafel is known for. Please be assured that we will review the details of your visit with the team to better understand what may have occurred, as experiences such as the one you describe are not reflective of our usual standards. We appreciate you bringing this to my attention. Kind regards, Gregory Henderson

    A really delightful experience. Highly recommended if you enjoy fine dining. The historic building and newly decorated interior are beautiful. All staff were knowledgeable and professional. The food was amazing and gave us plenty to ooh and ahh over. Not cheap, but excellent value compared to other places that serve a similar top standard. We were very impressed and will be back.
