    Had dinner with friends on a Friday night. It was our second time at de Quay for dinner. We were all very happy with the food and service. Will definitely return.

    Wow. We went for their Rijstaffel Service and had a fantastic evening. The food was great and was paired with great service. Cant wait to go again.

    I was drawn to this restaurant because of the monthly rijstaffel. I was so excited to find a place in Chicago that serves the Indonesian rijstaffel meal service I experienced in Amsterdam. The food and the service was great, however it wasn't what I was expecting. This was more of a Dutch food sampler than and Indonesian food sampler that would be served in The Netherlands. Although I will admit the food was good and we were very satisfied. I think I will be back on a normal night to try the regular dishes.

    De Quay is one of my favorite restaurants. The service is the best I've ever experienced. I love how each employee genuinely strives to provide a wonderful experience for each patron. The level and quality of service are unique to De Quay and create a warm, comforting atmosphere in which to enjoy delicious meals. I love the variety of tastes in each dish as well. The dumplings and mussels were simply amazing. I loved my salmon entree as well. I will be visiting De Quay again and of course recommending it to everyone I know! Also, the almond spekkoek is my favorite dessert in the city (and I've had a LOT of dessert).

    As a chef I am very fussy about where I eat. This was recommended by a colleague who was mentored by the owner and suggested we try it during a trip to Chicago. The restaurant is a neighborhood gem, intimate and quiet even though it was packed. Beer & wine selections were great but it was the food that stood out. The Gouda dumplings were glorious. This is a classic small plate style and everything we had was excellent. The pricing was very reasonable considering the quality of the ingredients and preparation. Highly recommended.

    Really tasty. Small menu but everything was delicious. The only odd think is that there are two apps and we ordered the Pecans and then found out they were out. Very strange to be out of one of the two options at 7 pm. Would have thought that they would sub something or be more apologetic. We shared 4 entrees and they were all delicious.
