Het personeel is super gastvrij en maakt de avond compleet! Wat ook gezellig is: gedurende de avond gaat de muziek wat harder & wordt het omgetoverd tot borrelend café. Zeker een aanrader als je in Noordwijk bent!

 Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is. We had such a wonderful dinner at Open Doors! My partner ordered Rundercarpaccio and Kalfsentrecôte and I had Vitello Tonnato and Ribeye, and all dishes were absolutely delicious. The ribeye was cooked perfectly, wonderfully tender and full of flavour - honestly one of the best I’ve had in a long time! 🥩

The staff made the evening even better. Everyone was genuinely friendly, attentive and always happy to help. We felt very welcome and well looked after throughout our entire visit, without the service ever feeling intrusive.

Amazing food, a lovely atmosphere and truly excellent hospitality. We will definitely be coming back! 🥩🍖

 Trustindex verifieert dat de oorspronkelijke bron van de recensie Google is. Ich schreibe die Rezession auf Deutsch, da auch der Kellner, welcher uns bedient hatte, nicht nur von Anfang an direkt gemerkt hatte, dass wir nicht die Landessprache sprechen, sondern auch noch grandiose Beratung in Deutsch abgeliefert hat.

Im Eingangsbereich wurden wir empfangen, die 2 Türen, die zum Tisch führten wurden uns von anderen Personal aufgehalten, während wir dem Kellner zum Tisch folgten.

Wir hatten uns alle für die Grillplatte entschieden. Sämtliche Fleischvariationen waren auf den Punkt perfekt gegart. Alle von unserer Runde haben unterschiedliche Geschmäcker, waren aber zu 100% zufrieden.

Wir hatten den Amaretto Strawberry Cocktail, Deep Blue und Paloma als Cocktails. Auch diese waren vom Geschmack her perfekt.

Angerichtet war alles grandios. Die Bilder sprechen hier für sich!

Der Kellner der uns im Oberstock am 3.09.2026 von 18:30 bis 21:00 bediente war absolut nicht aufdringlich aber wahnsinnig aufmerksam. Er hatte die Gesprächsart vom Tisch direkt aufgenommen und sich locker mit uns unterhalten. Die Nebentische hatte er in Englisch und Niederländisch bedient und hat sich auch dort an die Gesprächskultur und die Art der Runde perfekt angepasst.

Das Lokal ist ein wenig teuerer, es aber absolut wert. Klare Empfehlung 7/5! (Wenn es gehen würde)

Wie oben schon angegeben rundum packt perfekt. Der Parkplatz nebenan ist auch sehr billig. Nach dem Essen ist ein Strandspaziergang empfohlen, da es nur 3 min Laufweg sind.

Wir waren vor einem Jahr schon einmal hier und wollten es noch ein zweites Mal probieren. Selbe Erfahrung, andere Kellner, selber Geschmack, selber Service!

Nach 2 Besuchen, die ein Jahr auseinander liegen kann ich die Bewertung mit ruhigem Gewissen abschicken, da es nicht nur ein Einzelfall war.
