Frommer's Review

It's hard to pin down this fashionable, vaguely French/Italian eatery. For one thing, there's no menu. Its youthful chefs describe their creations as cuisine spontane -- they go to the markets, spontaneously pick out whatever's fresh and takes their fancy, and equally spontaneously figure out what to do with it back at base. But the name means "praise" in Dutch, and that sounds about right, since the results are invariably admirable. The choice is deliberately limited, not quite to take-it-or-leave-it, yet not far away. Oysters are a regular feature among two or three starters; then, choose from three main courses: meat, fish, and vegetarian; and finish with a torte. You dine on one of two levels, at plain tables in a cozy setting with bare brick walls, and a view of proceedings in the open kitchen.
