You can have a great variety of Asian food here, specially authentic Chinese food. While keeping lots of traditional recipes, the restaurant also mix and match to create something new and special.
The quality of food here is very high and staff are very friendly. This is a nice place to eat when you visit Lisse or Keukenhof Garden.

It's not always straight forward that small restaurants in small villages are worthwhile to visit but although I work in Amsterdam, and spend a good bit of leisure time there as well, I really like this place. It's cozy (gezellig in Dutch), the staff is always friendly and the food is simply good. Somehow you can have very enjoyable evening here without ever having to worry about the quality of the dishes and the height of the bill, also important!

Went to this Vier Seizoenen restaurant after spending the afternoon around the Tulips fields in surrounding Lisse area. We managed to get a table without prior Reservations. Service was good and friendly. Food was creatively fusion but very delicious. For starters, I had beef carpaccio & my boyfriend had asparagus soup. For main, I had grilled Dorade fish with quinoa & grilled vegetables in mild curry sauce and my boyfriend had linguine with green asparagus, cherry tomatoes and truffles sauce. The accompanying fennel salad was refreshing with the creamy sauces of the dishes. Wines were good too. Overall we had a great experience and would recommend this place.

We had an excellent dinner at this place, food was great, but service and attention from waiters does need improvement. Had to ask for refill on drinks, clearing the table after a course was done, and so on. Pity. But again, food is great and ambiance also!! A place to go back to!!

Enjoy our unique authentic and modern cuisine in an atmospheric, cozy and especially friendly atmosphere. Our dishes are carefully prepared in traditional "Sicilian" way. And we only work with fresh ingredients and herbs. In the restaurant there is space for 50 people, and on our beautiful indoor Terrace is Seating for 20 people. In addition to the possibility of lunch, it is possible to book for groups of over 50 people. In addition, we also have an extensive wine list with the finest Italian wines at an affordable price. Ask for our many possibilities, you will be amazed. We would like to see you in our restaurant. Il Mulino

Having read the positive reviews of this restaurant on Tripadvisor, I was looking forward to my dinner visit.
However, I was shocked at the racist treatment we received. Despite the restaurant being pretty empty when we got there, we were showed to a makeshift table right at the back of the restaurant near the toilet and kitchen. The table looked nothing like the other tables and did not have table settings set out.
On asking the waiter why he gave us this table, he said it was the owner's instructions. At this point, we almost walked out but since my son wanted to eat Italian badly, I insisted on another table and they provided us with a normal table. I later asked the owner why they provided us with the makeshift table and he mumbled something around not being aware of it but it was not convincing.
During the dinner, the restaurant continued to be only about half full and I later noticed that the makeshift "table" they had originally shown us was used as a kitchen table where they put food ingredients. Therefore, it was not because the restaurant was full that they put us at that table originally.
I can only conclude that they originally put us at that table because we are East Asians and they were discriminating against us. The food itself was good but the treatment left us feeling very uncomfortable and unable to enjoy our meal.
This is the first time I have experienced racism so overtly at a restaurant despite having travelled extensively all around the world. From the other reviews, it seems that their normal service is good and not what we experienced so we were singled out for "special" treatment.
If you patronize this restaurant, recognize that you are supporting a racist owner who overtly discriminates against customers based on race.
7. Het Oude Dykhuys
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 87 reviews
Reviewed By Venneper - Amsterdam, The Netherlands
This Michelin-recommended restaurant along the Ringvaart Canal is in a typical Dutch private house style with low ceilings and a rather uncomplicated décor. The cuisine is French/Dutch with occasional, slightly, Oriental influences.
The amuse-bouche including a sip of creamy soup and shrimp cocktail did pleasantly arouse my appetite. The starter with various preparations of mackerel was well above ordinary and fresh. The entremets of quail piccata with green asparagus was equally enjoyable without being stunning. The main dish of salmon and cannelloni filled with spinach was the highlight of the day; simply delicious. The wine (William Fevre Chablis 2012) paired very well with the dishes, enhancing the positive impact. For dessert, the ice cream with raspberries was decorated with white chocolate. Along with a decent cup of espresso it was a worthy closing of this meal.
The service was good and less formal than expected. The bill for two persons came to 120 Euro.
Perfect? No. But the Oude Dykhuys is a genuinely high quality restaurant that I want to visit more often, disregarding my financial constraints.

Reviewed By wijnands - haarlemmermeer
At the edge of the center of the town with plenty of free parking close by you'll find this little bistro.
Decor looks modern and fresh but because of the total absence of any soft furnishings you'll struggle to hear the guests on the same table when the restaurant is full. It gets noisy fast.
Food was ok, I found it overal on the spicy side. For me not all dishes are about peppery heat, I also want the other spicy aromas. Main complaint I had was that everything is served in really small portions.
Service is attentive and there's excellent Lindeboom beer on tap. Don't bother with their G&T, it's not as special as they make it out to be.

We visited after spending the afternoon wandering the Keukenhof Gardens. The food was excellent. A BBQ pit is located at each table and you get to roast your own kabobs, choosing your own pieces of meat and fresh veggies from the food bar. The kids loved it. Local brews are available in the bottle. Highly recommended.
