Wij hebben onze 30e verjaardag gevierd bij de Poort voor ongeveer 40 gasten. Locatie was er uitermate geschikt voor en het barpersoneel was kundig, vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Erg geslaagde avond gehad!

Average rating of 9.3 out of 10

Onbeperkt buffet, drinken en dessert, een prachtige en stijlvolle locatie met een vleugje nostalgie en historie, en een fantastische sfeer. We hadden de hele zaal voor onszelf en een zeer professionele barman die altijd beschikbaar was zonder opdringerig te zijn. Het eten was subliem en alles was tot in de puntjes verzorgd. Dankzij alle aandacht voor detail beleefden wij een onvergetelijke avond vol plezier! Top

Fantastische locatie in een historisch pand met heerlijke Hollands stamppotten

Average rating of 8.3 out of 10

Heerlijk Hollands diner gehad met diverse stamppotten. Echt leuk om dit voor te schotelen aan buitenlandse gasten, want dit kun je bijna nergens meer laten serveren. Prachtige historische locatie en gezellige sfeer in de Poortwachterszaal.
