Frommer's Review
In a former beer hall across from the Royal Palace, this restaurant has been serving up the stolid virtues of its steaks and typically Dutch fare -- though now backed by a cast of international dishes -- for more than 100 years. Beamed and tiled with Delft blue from Koninklijke Porcelyne Fles, the Dutch-tavern dining room has been fully restored along with its parent hotel, called Die Port van Cleve. De Poort maintains a tradition that's become legendary among regular patrons: Each steak is numbered, and if the number on yours is a round thousand, you win a bottle of wine. They've already served more than 6 million steaks! The restaurant is equally known for its Dutch pea soup.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
