The interior contributes to a "hip yet relaxed" and "buzzy" social energy. A recurring con (15% of reviews) is the venue becoming very busy and loud, especially the outdoor area adjacent to a busy street. Around 10% of feedback points to specific drink quality issues, noting some lemonades as watered down or overpriced, and occasional "shallow" cocktail quality concerns. Minor issues include isolated reports of dry pancakes or burnt bitterballen. Some service-related complaints include inflexibility regarding early entry and occasional slowness during peak hours.
