What people say, in short
Most people who weigh in recommend Rijks, though some of the praise is secondhand. One diner says the lunch was delicious, a few commenters single out the beetroot millefeuille, and one credits its location beside the Rijksmuseum. Some are less keen: one who visited twice was disappointed both times, and another thinks it too big and impersonal for dining alone. One commenter notes that a reservation is needed.
