Es & Es Catering in Koedijkslanden

Beautiful location of the restaurant at the Meppelse stoomboothaven. Started outside with a drink and two amuses of which the mienestje looked beautiful and tasted delicious. We had chosen a hearty four-course menu. The start with brook knight (a sustainably farmed salmon) was delicious. Then a beautiful round sesame tuille with asparagus pieces in it with a fantastic sauce. The two meat dishes were great. Finished with coffee and accompanying delicacies. The choice of wine was great

Very friendly and helpful staff, nice personal welcome. The food came quickly and was very good. Definitely a recommended place to eat!

Last week I got a Chinese rice table for 1 person. The only restaurant in Meppel where this is still possible. It tasted delicious. Is there a new chef? I think it tastes better than before. Very satisfied.

Came here with my family a while back for a Birthday dinner and found our experience to be quite nice. We reserved a table for 7people about a week prior, requested a high chair and everything was handled efficiently. As a family we ordered the following, (excluding drinks): 2x bavette 2x catch of the day (1gf) (salmon) 1x duo duck 1x chefs special (entrecote) Kids: tomato soup, poffertjes 1x Proeverij for 4persons Several sides, including: fries, salad And for dessert to share: 1x Cheesecake 1x Dame blanche The food was beautifully plated, had plenty of flavour and everything had the right temperature upon being served. What surprised me was the quality of the meats they serve. I don't get my hopes up when it comes to Dutch restaurants in regards to properly cooked steaks and premium cuts, yet De Wheem truly surprised us. All the food we ordered, even the side dishes were truly lovely, even for international standards. We did however experience a slack in drink service. We ordered several rounds of drinks over our entire seating and 3/6 rounds didn't arrive, or we had to ask the waiter when it would arrive. When we finished our mains and ordered our dessert we also placed a tea and coffee order. After 25min of wait we asked the waiter again if it was coming and they apologized that the bar "forgot it again". At that point we requested those drinks to be taken off our bill and that we'd like to pay. The restaurant itself has a nice ambience, looks beautiful and has plenty of tables available. The bathrooms looked clean and fully stocked. Staff wears outfits that equalize both male as female and it looked pretty sharp for the overall aesthetic. Last but not least: a special shout-out for a restaurant that not only serves good meats, but also has their knives BEAUTIFULLY sharpened! Capital letters: "beautifully". We enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend this place to others. They do however have room for improvement in regards to their bar service.

Beautiful location but food was a bit disappointing
