5&33 was likely the swankiest pitstop that we made in Amsterdam. It's located inside of a hotel and had great ambience, good service, and a fire place that lit up the entire restaurant. You'd think Anthony Bourdain would be up to something if he dropped by this place. Everything seemed fitting for a romantic evening out. You've got servers ready to bounce at you with your order, a candlelit table, and restrooms that offer fancy towels, lotion, and even cologne... or maybe someone left it there by accident? Either way, they certainly live up to their reputation for bougieness. We would've ordered an entire three course meal. However, we came here for one thing only- their charcuterie plate. Meats. Cheeses. Bread. That's all we really wanted, and it was fantastic. Their prosciutto was extremely tasty and the selection of cheeses to match were fab. We got a sense that the wait staff were a bit annoyed that we only ordered their €30 charcuterie board, but hey, they're known for such and I will attest that it was good. I'd love to come back one day to taste more of their heartier fare, but until then, I am satisfied with my care at 5&33. read more

This might get updated...went for an event called Lobster Heaven...arrived on time, lobster wasn't ready, no big deal, waited for my friend to get there. 20 min later still no lobster ready, and told in 10 minutes, an hour after the event still no lobster ready so had to leave as my friend was working the night shift and had to eat before work. However the place was quite nice and the cocktails were excellent, kudos to the bartenders :D Kinda odd that there wasn't a coat room or even coat hooks so everyone had piles with them consisting of their coat and bag. Hoping to maybe go back and check it out another time. read more

First time I got here, I was overwhelmed, it's a sexy kinda bar. Bartenders were friendly, cocktails were good. These days it seems they get lazy: bartenders seem tired and not at all friendly, reservations got missing, cocktails were charged twice (and they're not cheap, and it's seriously not nice to doubt a faithful customer) and some dishes seemed uninspired if at all available. However if you want to eat something I'd recommend the zucchini fritti, the goatcheese ravioli and the octopus. For cocktails I prefer to go to Vesper, but since 5&33 is close to Central Station I don't mind hanging around for one cocktail. It's not that it's a lousy place with lousy service, the people are just... Uninspired. read more

5&33 - Ehm the view from the sofa to the chix to the lamp... - Hotels Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

As a visiting Elite to Amsterdam, I couldn't wait to see what foody delights this particular City had to offer. Despite suffering some kind of mystery vomiting bug for most of the trip (I didn't partake of any of the particular pleasures the Dam had to offer, before you start thinking that); on Saturday night I was just about ready to consider eating again. Now, our trip to 5&33 came as rather a surprise. I was in a group of lovely ladies, two of whom were celebrating big birthdays (Higher than 21, lower than 50 is all your getting) and for our last night, we wanted to do something really special. One of our number had received a text from her other half in the day explaining their neighbor in London owned a restaurant in Amsterdam. Filled with intrigue, we rang up to try and get a table. This was a bit of a rooky error as the restaurant was completely fully booked (a disappointment, but a sign of a good eatery). This is where her "Connections" came in; after a short but sweet conversation with her neighbor a confirmation call had been received advising us of our booking for 8:30pm. It was with a sense of intrigue we pulled up to a trendy looking venue in a smart looking district just before our allotted time. We knew it was a good choice when we stepped inside. Being greeted high design and pounding music, this was definitely the place for us. After the kind and courteous staff had confirmed our booking, all of our coats were taken and we were taken to our table. Holy Moly! What a place! Enough space for around 150 people to eat, a chilled out lounge area with gorgeous real fire pits, an open kitchen (so you can see your food being prepared) and shining chrome and marble glinting at every turn; you would have to be very jaded not to be impressed. Once seated, a senior member of wait staff bought us our complimentary bottle of Prosecco (not a standard part of the service, but a gift due to a member of our posse's connections) and we were presented with the menu. Our wonderful waitress (she really was tip top throughout the whole experience) explained that for a standard meal diners would choose up to 3 plates eat. Each dish is larger than Tapas but not large enough on it's own. It was armed with this information that we tentatively discussed our choices. The atmosphere of the venue is casual and relaxed; with people in jeans nibbling whatever is bought out and on the table at the time. The food is cooked fresh and bought out in stages (so you can enjoy a great conversation whilst picking at the offerings on display). We had a vegetarian in our number, but this wasn't at all a problem as the menu catered for all tastes (including my bad stomach which would only manage a cheeseburger). Once the important decisions had been made and everyone had a drink in hand, we sat back and relaxed. We were seating near the "art curtain", which is a live interactive piece installation which seemed to change every 5 minutes to a different artwork. I was transfixed by this the entire meal (much to the detriment to our conversation). Once the food started coming, the evening really hotted up. From the Mushroom salad to the trout ravioli; I had it on good authority that everything was exquisite. My hamburger was cooked to perfection (pink in the middle) and served with skin-on chunky chips. Delish! Once the fizz has run out, a secondary bottle of wine was ordered and conversation and food flowed for a few hours. It's worth noting that as well as the restaurant, bar, lounge and gallery area; there is a "secret" indoor smoking area which is designed as exquisitely to the rest of the venue with bright orange arm chairs and comfy sofas. The toilets are also pretty funky (as a top tip - the doors are HEAVY) and extremely clean. Once we had finished our mains (and were totally stuffed), our waitress tried to persuade us to try the Tiramisu. One of my favorites, but I couldn't risk having anything so creamy :(. Even though we protested, she bought us one out (on the house), just to try. Again, I have it on good authority that it was the BEST Tiramisu's that the ladies had tasted. Without alcohol, our bill for around 10 small plates and a hamburger and fries came to 120 Euros. Not too bad at all! But this wasn't the end of the experience... next... the bar! I'll keep this brief, but the bar is just as fantastic as the restaurant. With an extensive and inventive cocktail menu (with drinks being priced from 9 - 12 Euros), it was a winner from the get go. Add in a fantastic DJ AND a live Saxophonist playing along to club hits (I kid you not!), and it was the perfect end to our trip. Our visit at 5&33 was an experience I am not likely to forget in a hurry. read more

Sharing diner! New, hip, trendy hotel restaurant. Great service, Delicious food. This month you could "sneak" food at the new restaurant : 5&33 in the Art Ôtel. Tonight they have their great opening party for 600 people and from tomorrow on you can officially book a table. But already turning to trail, they had a 'sneak preview' menu 3 weeks before opening. Knowing me by now, always yearning for novelties, I gratefully took this opportunity. Officially they were closed last night, but they welcomed us with open arms. And so we could quietly enjoy the ambiance, the 'sharing dinner-menu', the tranquillity to sit there with just the Israeli owners, some flown in guests for the party of tonight and the sublime staff of the restaurant. As a woman, I love sharing dinners anyway. Never knowing what to chose from the menu, wanting to taste all they have on their menu, it is a absolute perfect solution. And what also struck us by surprise: shared dinning at this hotspot is very affordable. And how we were pampered! A rare height in the area of service, kindness and exquisite cuisine. The Italian chef flies around the world with his team to start up the restaurants of the hotel group. I give them a big A+, these Italian, Dutch and Brazilian waiters. Such a eye for detail and on top of it we had a good laugh with them as well. After our dinner we were given a tour by the General Manager, who showed us their unique large gallery downstairs, where as in the rest of the public areas, many bizarre but beautiful works of Joep van Lieshout can be admired. Equally unique is their art curtain with moving images along the staircase. The whole concept is urban chic and often to be found in London and New York. But what a feast to find this around the corner, in the heart of Amsterdam, opposite the Central Station. The restaurant has its own entrance and operates separately from the hotel. The bar is huge and all over the floor you will find the most lovely intimate seating areas. For people who get off on hotel lobbies, like me, this is true heaven! If they can keep up with this incredible level of service I see a new trendy hang out hotspot for the coming months/years! read more

Bar review Very very nice. I would go back to try the cocktails, but as many places in Amsterdam, they are a little pricey, so I had a glass of wine which was recommended by the server, and it was very nice. The service was much better than I could have expected. We had a woman at first who was very accommodating to our growing group, and then we move to another area with more seats. The only problem was that those seats fit two (smaller) people or one large person. They were so large that the entire area was quite spread out. I didn't like that so much. But it did create a sense that that area was our space to mingle in. The atmosphere was very nice as well. A little upscale but not so much that you felt out of place and the greeting mimicked that vibe as well. Very well done. Hope to visit again soon! read more

5&33 - Unique seating areas by the bar. - Hotels Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

What started with a bang has quietly and surely fizzled out. The last time I wrote a review for 5&33 I raved about the decor and the great service. Sadly, these are two aspects of 5&33 which have fallen in terrible disrepair. Gone is the good service and attention to detail. The place feels like just another lounge bar in the Rembrandtplein. On my last trip I ordered a hot chocolate with a side of the fried zucchini. The hot chocolate wasn't hot enough, was a bit artificial, while the zucchini dropped notches in both quality and presentation. It came with no sauce of any kind. There was no cutlery even. The floor is a sticky mess now. All in all, 5&33 has seriously degraded from being a hip to a flop spot that is no longer presentable. read more

Very new, modern and fancy look in an old Amsterdam building. Two entrances, hence the name. One is for the bar and restaurant the other side for the hotel. Bar is very nice. It deserve definitely 4 stars. Clean, good ambience. Music a bit loud but cocktails are great. Quite pricey for the mixes, average prices for beer. The restaurant is very nice. Great tastes and good choices. Wines also are good. Service is fine, even if a bit too chatty. Most of the personnel are not Dutch with a high presence of Italians. Food was good, well presented and tasteful. I would say quite an Italian flavor with portions on the average small side. What I do not like much and hence only 3 stars, is the formula of small and big dishes with the intention to share. What is on the big dishes list is not on the small. Kind of confusing and the big dishes, apart from not being too big, are quite expensive. It is kind of an organized mess to take you spending more, and that feeling is not great. Also the service for replacing plates and provide extra spoons or forks to allow "sharing" does not look efficient and you find yourself asking over and over for additional stuff. Tables also are not that large to play the share game. Over all good. I would advice to get there max with 4 people. I think 2 is best table size. Warning for everyone is parking. Either bike or scooter. In this area parking is really not easy and there are a lot of people wandering outside making difficult to use sidewalk. read more

This restaurant is located inside Art'otel across from Central Station. Cozy fireplace and dim lighting. Wouldn't recommend wearing t-shirt and shorts as it's a more business casual dress. Our Order May 3, 2015 Tea: (3.50€) Fresh Mint & Jasmine Chung Hao Burrata: (10€) Heritage Tomatoes & Basil Asparagus Salad Dinner: (11€) White & Green Asparagus, Truffle Quail Eggs & Parmesan Roasted Leg of Lamb: (50€) served w/ Heritage Carrots & Rosemary juice After a long day of travel, we just wanted to eat and go to sleep. I usually don't like eating at hotel restaurants but was too tired to care. Surprisingly the food was pleasantly better than expected. The lamb was flavorful and soft. Carrots were more on the raw side though. The fresh salad and burrata was a great change of pace after so much airplane food. Not many other customers since it was late so service was fairly attentive. Not sure if I would go out of my way to eat here again though. Note: The complimentary hotel breakfast is held here. Good selection of pastries, juices, and hot dishes as well. Mostly self-service. read more

Had a lovely candle lit dinner at 5&33 last night for Earth Hour. Service was great, slow at times, but they apologized with complimentary dessert :) Started with the octopus and burrata - you can never go wrong with burrata ! My partner and I then shared a half portion of the tagliolini with truffle - amazing ! Truffle was pungent but tasted so incredible - highly recommended ! Nice wines also, had a bottle of the reisling and pinot grigio. Total bill was €110 for 2 starters, half a main, 2 bottles of wine and a bottle of sparkling water + free dessert and popcorn at the bar :) Overall, lovely night, will return again soon to try the cocktails ! read more

Went here today for a date. This place was. Very quiet, not a lot of people on Friday at 6pm, perhaps 7 people total? It allowed us to get very attentive service. We sat at the bar for about 3 hours. The wine menu has very good Sicilian selection. When we got hungry we ordered gamba from the bar bites menu. Since it's only 2 shrimp per order we got two orders. Shrimp did not came out well. It was a very poor plate. We couldn't peel the shell of the meat, the sauce tasted like from a can, and the dish was cold when served. Yet, it is supposed to be a hot plate. We ordered the burrata bruschetta which came out to be better. I had a taste of it, and with a cherry tomato and we poured olive oil on top of it - was much better. We also ordered a cocktail each. I had a gin and soda with blackberries and dried lemon, and my date had passion fruit martini. Was a bit on the sweet side for me, but I am just sensitive to sugar nowadays. We were offered a complimentary zucchini fries. Which we did not see on the menu, so I appreciated the figure positive offering. The service saved the date, and the little extra made us forget about the gamba mishap. In the end we paid €60 for 4 glasses of wine and the gamba. We tipped €30 extra as we were also given some complimentary tapas and got a very good service. I might come back here for cocktails, but to be honest I will choose Door 74 before I make it out this way. Ah, forgot to mention, they do have a live DJ playing there from 8pm on Friday night. The atmosphere is lounge like and if you want to chill and have a cocktail this might be a good option read more

A great refuge inside artotel right across from Central Station. Cool ambience, air conditioned for a hot day, plus stellar food. Great vegetarian and meat entree options and small plates for sharing. We told them we in a a bit of hurry and they gave us quick but nice service. Especially recommend zucchini fries and cheese/meat plate. Keep in mind the drinks don't come with much, but have a fun presentation! read more

Went here for a brunch/lunch with my friends after they just opened (and someone who was at the opening got me curious about this place). Great experience, from entrance to exit the (international) staff knows how to make you feel welcome! We ordered several dishes from the traditional Italian menu and were surprised by taste and presentation. Cozying up next to the fireplace (or what seemed like) we were blown away by the good service and top of the bill (or actually, right after the bill arrived) the complementary digestives to make sure we were knocked out for the rest of the day :) Exceptional service for Amsterdam standards (though not sure if they still got game within a couple of months). read more

Last night I fell completely in love with 5&33! We had dinner there and already when I saw the entrance of the restaurant, I knew it was going to be good. When they brought us to our table I got a glance of the rest of the place; the lounge and bar, and then the dining area. It was beautiful, warm, fancy and modern all at once. I was just perfect. The fire next to our table made it all extra cozy and the seats were soft leather and sat so comfortable. Then the food. At 5&33 you come for a shared dinner with friends or your partner. It is a fun way to try many different dishes. We sure tried a lot, I think we tasted most of the things on the menu haha. I loved the food, it was all tasty and nice but there were a few things I particularly liked; the lamb chops, the ox cheeks, the burrata (very soft mozzarella like cheese), and the yellowtail. But I also loved the peppers and the mushroom salad! Everything is quite nice! The portions are quite large. I would recommend 2 - 3 dishes a person. The wines we drank with the food were also really nice, the wine list is quite large. For dessert we tried a few different things; tiramisu, crème caramel (which was a bit to much of egg taste) and chocolate delice. The chocolate was the best. With the the desserts a few of us had cocktails. There are classic ones and house ones, and of course we tried the house cocktails (more special!). We order a gin daisy (a fresh and fruity cocktail), a harlequin (strong and manly cocktail, with different kinds of liquor and also orange) and a 5&33 version of a mojito (forgot the name!). The cocktails were al delicious and with a good amount of booze. The lovely food, drinks, interior, good company, reasonable prices (we paid 55 each including tip for food, 2 glasses wine, water and a 11 euro cocktail) and very friendly, helpful (unlike most places in this city) staff made this night into a memorable one and made me really fell in love with 5&33. Between the main and dessert we even strolled around through the lounge area and bar area and the place is just fab. I'm so glad I tried this place quickly after their opening because now I know my favorite spot in the part of Amsterdam! read more

Chic, quiet, with an almost Zen-like serenity. Dimmed light and soft listening music on the background. One can sit in a lounge aside the fire or at tables. The staff is well trained, kind and hospitable. The formula is sharing dishes. We enjoyed the Burrata with Mozzarella heritage tomatoes & basil, Sea Bass ravioli and Zucchini fritti, followed by an excellent coffee. It was an enjoyable stay! read more

We visited the bar area just opposite the restaurant. We were able to order off the main menu but opted for drinks and appetizers. Small appetizers were served complimentary along with our drinks. The food was good, service was great, and the overall experience was perfect. The only downside was that the menu was limited. When visiting the Central area of Amsterdam, this is a perfect venue for drinks and conversation. read more

Last Friday we had a sharing dinner with a few friends at 5&33 @ Art Otel. We only had 3 different dishes and a cheese platter which were all quite good. You will probably need at least 3 different dishes per person if you want a full meal which makes it a bit on the expensive side. But the food, lounge experience and drinks are worth it! If you're looking for a hip, energetic place and good food & some nice wines/cocktails this is the place to be! read more

They had some pretty amazing bread. Spacious interior, so you can come in a large group. It's honestly huge inside, especially for Amsterdam. Food is pricy, but most of the items were tasty. Again, the bread was great. Romantic vibe and interesting art. Classy place to dine if you have extra cash to spend abroad. read more

My three star rating before before still holds but I wanted to tell you about the arancini starter. I had never heard of arancini and my friend described them as risotto balls, with breadcrumbs, and lightly fried. I wasn't too excited until I had my first bite, then I wanted to eat them all. The dips with breadsticks weren't exciting, nor were the mozzarella balls. If you go, just get three orders of arancini and you can thank me later. Service was a bit slow but seemed to improve as the night went on. read more

We came here for brunch with a group on a Sunday afternoon. Good things: They could easily fit a big group as it's a huge restaurant space. Service was attentive and friendly. Prices for brunch are very affordable. Coffee was not bad. Bad things: Extremely slow service! How is it possible that in an empty restaurant it takes an hour to make 6 simple egg dishes? The servings were very small and in some cases a bit underwhelming. One of my poached eggs was overdone. The bloody mary list is.... long but experimental, and not always in a successful way. Atmosphere was a stiff-upper-lip. Overall: good for groups but maybe better to come here for drinks (or, sounds like, dinner). read more

I was worried about coming here because it's labeled as Italian and I was already overwhelmed by all the Pasta in Bologna the week before. However, this place is lovely, with a very nice atmosphere and staff...all attentive, helpful and courteous. I went with the Burrata suggestion and though I expected actual pesto there was none. Just a basil leaf. It was also very bland but ti my surprise it tasted amazing and honestly didnt need anything else. The tomatoes were also the right texture so overall, i would definitely recommend. Also tapas size was the salmon with a small salad (rose petals, turnips, lettuce and lemon aioli) if i remember clearly. Yummy not overcooked and just the right size. To top it off, i had a smooth glass of Malbec. I went to the art gallery just below after dinner, so needless to say. I had a great night. Kudos..:) read more

I wish I can give it more because the food it very good but the service is that bad that it is taking my rating down by 2 stars. The place is designed very cool and hip. There is music and lighting and cool furniture everywhere. Lots of interesting and not cheap cocktails are available in the bar/lounge area and in the restaurant area, a Spanish style tapas restaurant is setup. Do not expect to find Spanish prices here! While not terribly expensive you receive less than you would in Spain while paying much higher prices. But, the quality of the food is quite good. I was really impressed with it. For sure try the octopus, artichoke, and olive dish... amazing! The service on the other hand is very very poor. They totally kept forgetting out table and while the dinner portion of our evening when relatively smoothly, the desert portion was a disaster. Between trying to order, re-order, talk to 3 different waiters, then try to get the bill and pay, we were there for an extra hour and a half. I would go back again because the food is that good but only if I had no other plans for the night because it will probably end up being another three hour ordeal again. read more

Wonderful experience. We decided to come here for dinner with some colleagues after a meeting in Amsterdam and it did not disappoint. Tapas style dining with some unique and customary choices that were delicious. We went for a variety and shared amongst us the following: Zucchini, Burrata, Beef Carpaccio, Seabass Ravioli, Cod, and the Beef 350. I would recommend them all without hesitation. The service was impeccable with multiple members of staff checking on us throughout the evening. Great atmosphere and and ambiance, will definitely be back. read more

I went here with a friend while we were visiting Amsterdam, I came upon tit when I got lost, the staff was incredibly friendly, the drinks were amazing and the food was absolutely delicious.

I would definitely go there again a lovely place with lovely people!!! read more

This review is for New Year's Eve. We paid 240 Euros as a couple for dinner. We were sat at a table 4 feet from the bathroom and in a hallway with blaring music and tons of people walking by to the bathroom = terrible ambiance. The main dish, beef, was so tough that we couldn't chew it so we can had to return it to the kitchen. The new one they cooked for us was just as rough so finally we just didn't eat it. The salad was one bite and tasteless. The dinner took 3 hours, with the second course taking 30 minutes to be served - way too long. We spent the whole time waiting a long time for mediocre food, yelling to talk over the music, and watching the bathroom door swing open next to our table. This was a really poor experience for how much we paid. read more

This is Amsterdam fine dining. The bar has ambiance, the restaurant has a vibe and the kitchen is the real Italian deal.

Sharing is caring. You order little plates to share with friends. The place is a good option for group dinners. Just 3 min walking distance from central station makes it an easy access for commuters. Food is quite good- yet I believe a little over expensive. If not the restaurant, definitely try the bar! read more

I always stay at this hotel when I am in Amsterdam. Great bar with excellent gin&tonics accomplished with a good dj music.

Nice wine, good location. Waiter got order wrong and then put it on tab anyway. No apologies and kind of inpersonal. But generally ok.

Excellent! Cool, sleek atmosphere and decor. The wait staff was very helpful, assisting with menu options and offering suggestions.
