Wijn and Ko - what else would you need...I have to say that I need a bit more, especially when…read moregoing out to have some nice wine with nice food. Went there with a small group of fellow yelpers. The place was newly opened in a new location. Wijn and Ko doesn't have an ambience of a restaurant or a wine cellar, but more like a big open bar place..I wasnt very impressed with the interior. What about the wine - they have a very big selection of different wines per glass or only per bottle. The prices are pretty steep and they start with 3.75 Euro and quickly go up. I had some wine for 3.75 or 4.75 and they were ok, however I had better and for a lower price. I tried a really nice one for 5.75. It was a good wine, but the price quality wasn't that great. If talking about the food. We had a big meat platter to share and vegetarian platter. They were ok, nothing too fancy and also quite pricey I must say. Later we found out that they also had a special 3 course menu offer for 25 - which sounded like a good deal. We went for dessert only option - creme brullee and cheese platter - they were pretty nice. Service..ah..this is a part that is the cherry on the top and it either makes this a good place or not. The waiter who was taking care of our wine orders wasnt very service oriented. He would bring the wine to men first and then serve the ladies. What even shocked me a lot more..was that they should know what temperature the wine should be served at...When commenting that my red wine was way too cold - negroamaro is not served chilled...he said that it will warm up..right..maybe after 2 hours of warming it with my hands..Luckily owner of the place had a different service approach and exchanged it right away. Did I like this place? It was ok, but because I was in a great company. Would I go back there? I am not sure.

Three hours and 20 minutes later we made the 11 foot hike back to our unique three story lodging (it's the purple fronted place to the left of Wijn and Ko, next door, literally) in a food nirvana state of mind. This is a 6 star place with all the pieces in place.

At first, you might think it's a little sketchy because it is downstairs but it's only to give you the maximum privacy in a church not to mention!! Remember that these visits are personalised, I'm honestly so happy I found this place and I had a perfect time. You are also not restricted to spending just one hour as per your reservation, there's ample time to lounge and talk. This was great, please go experience!

We are from Virginia which is growing in wine popularity so we've been to our fair share of wineries and wine stores. This place is not like anywhere we've been before. It's underneath Melly's Cookie Bar (http://www.yelp.com/biz/mellys-cookie-bar-amsterdam), meaning you go INTO the Cookie Bar to get to it. But once downstairs you are in a whole different world of coziness and wine with a man (José) who knows his stuff! He is super friendly, but professional and helpful and just wants to find you a wine you will love! I dare you to go here and not love it! I'm taking everyone who visits me here because it is that awesome.

Gezellig - Awesome place! I was skeptical at first. I saw the outside of this establishment on a…read more"House Hunters International" episode in Amsterdam. Since it's my favorite place, I looked it up on maps and saved it. When I was there a month or so later, I was riding my bike in the afternoon and saw someone sitting near the front window working on his MacBook with a nice glass or white wine. I immediately slammed the brakes and parked my bike! Fortunately I had my MacBook so I could get some work done and drink some great wine at 4 PM (16:00 hours). Bottom line is you simply purchase a 20-30 euro card (or whatever you want) when you get there and can just choose from any wine in the restaurant. It's awesome. The notable thing is, the bartenders are wonderful and very helpful. They don't just let you fend for yourself, they assist you, give you advice, even free samples! Awesome place. Also, great food too! Try the oysters! They have bitterballen (of course) all day - then dinner and food all night. My favorite dinner place in Overtoom. Don't be afraid as I was the first time - when it was really crowded. Friendly and warm place - gezellig!
