Only here to state for the record that the four stars others have given Café Maxwell was our experience this past evening, a Monday night. In an up and coming area we understand recently developed, appears there's plenty of strong competition within the block for drinks and food so you'd better be on your "A" game. A nice crowd when we sat down at 8:30 p.m. for dinner, another sign the locals know a good thing. Charming outdoor dining space with room under a spacious tent or a chance at several small two-person tables just outside the area. We opted for the latter. Came looking for something light and a couple of glasses of wine and were not disappointed. Settled for the Mixwell which is a plank with meats and cheeses, small bit of salad, olives and the other in the party a Caesar salad. Has the feel of a nice French outdoor cafe so on a cool but pleasant night the result was a delightful evening. I could see stopping by here during the day for a beer or glass of wine and lunch as well. Highly recommended.

This pub is open pretty late and the food is good. It's nothing special or to write home about. The staff was friendly and accommodating

We stayed at the nearby Hotel Arena, and wanted to try a nearby restaurant away from the main part of town.

Ron Gastrobar Downtown was our first real dinner on our recent trip to Amsterdam. My friend is the…read moreone that discovered this restaurant and made the reservations ahead of time, and from the pictures, it looked like a fun place to eat. I was excited. From research, it seems as though Amsterdam is known for having some good Indonesian food, so that was something we made a priority of trying while we were there. Though somewhat pricey, the entertainment, decor, and food here definitely exceeded our expectations. To eat, we had already decided to order the rijsttafel (rice table), which is essentially a variety of small Indonesian dishes. In total, I believe there were about 15 that we were comfortably able to share and enjoy. In addition, we ordered a few street food appetizers, which included the black angus tartare, tacos, and albacore tuna tartare. Overall, I thought the food was pretty good. I particularly enjoyed the street food appetizers, which were presented very uniquely. While I'm glad we tried the rijsttafel for the authentic experience, there were only a few dishes from it that I really enjoyed. Still, I'd recommend ordering it for the experience. It was pretty cool to try so many Indonesian specialties in one meal. If looking for a fun restaurant to dine at in central Amsterdam, Ron Gastrobar is an option you should heavily consider. The ambiance and atmosphere are unrivaled, and you are bound to have a great time. The live performances are very enjoyable. Service was also very accommodating and friendly, and the drinks were superb. Go ahead and check this place out!

Six of us came in for dinner on a Wednesday night and it was bumpin'. I made a reservation. We…read moreapproached the restaurant and the line was out the door. We were all waiting for an elevator to the top floor, which was the restaurant. When we got to the top, no one was there but we eventually found someone to show us our table. The sun was a bit bright because it is already summer but it was a beautiful view as it set. We took every recommendation our waiter gave. We started with cocktails from the small menu and tuna tartar and oysters (with apple, green pepper and ginger dressing). I never eat oysters but I loved these. When it was time for the main food, I told our waiter we were interested in the rijstafel. He recommended that we get rijstafel for four and supplement it with the sea bass. Upon further inspection of the menu, we did that, plus the chicken sate, beef sate and wagyu sate. Everything was amazing. There are a couple of entertainment pieces that come with the meal. Mr. Spicy comes around in a red dinner jacket and asks if you want mild, medium or spicy sauce with your meal. We wanted to try one of each. Later on, Mr. Downtown with the cat head came by for a photo. He never put down his glass. In all, the meal was delicious and the cocktails were unique. I look forward to the next experience here.
