Menu was delivered and the specials were explained. The menu was fairly limited, but plenty enough. Our server also explained that the mains do not come with any side dishes. We were a group of six and the entire place could have held maybe 15-18 more people. Not a big place, but very cozy. We had some drinks and in no time our food was on the table. I had ordered the seared tuna and my wife had ordered the rump steak. Both were cooked to perfection and both very tasty. We had ordered fries, beet root, and stir fried veggies for appetizers to share. The fries came with a garlic aoli/mayo, that was very tasty. Overall, our service was at Vlaming was impeccable, the food was excellent and the price was in line with what you'd expect. In fact the food was more in line with what you'd expect at fine dining, but with a lower price. I like Vlaming and would go back again !

More of a place that locals go to though there were also several tourists last night, including us :). Sat outside on a lovely warm night, started with a beautiful and tasty lentil salad and a creamy rich yellow pepper soup. Both were yummy. The mains were three large pieces of filet of sole and a perfect medium rare duck breast. Both were delicious and good sized portions. We also shared a side of crispy fries which were also very good. Service from the staff at Vlaming was exceptional. Friendly and gave very good advice about the wine and food choices. Had a nice time talking to another family sitting next to us, also from California. Vlaming was an excellent restaurant choice for our first night in Amsterdam.

We found the cafe and followed the sign to the side door that indicated the dining room. The top floor was closed for a private event but they sat us at a lovely table in a tight corner. It fit us just fine. The place has tons of character. A young lady took our order but didn't understand a couple things and the timing and ordering of our food wad screwed up. When the manager realized our friend was sitting there with a salad while the rest of us were waiting for our food, he told the kitchen to fire our plates. We had a burger and scallops coming. At least our friend's food wasn't going to get cold. When our food arrived, mine was baked chicken. I ordered what said 'scallops' in their English menu. The manager came over and explained that there was a misprint on the English line of the menu and they haven't had it fixed and the waitress didn't know but he promised the chicken was good. We were pressed for time at this point. We had plenty of time when we arrived but since the waitress was waiting for us to eat my friend's salad as an appetizer before telling the kitchen make our food, the time was burned by the time our food finally arrived. The worst part was they don't do take away in Amsterdam, apparently. I had to admit it smelled divine. I shook the manager's hand and thanked him before I dug in. This is probably the best chicken dish I've ever had. Seriously. It was so perfect. Juicy, perfectly cooked, crispy skin, and flavor throughout. The Pommes friets were perfect too. It was awful that I didn't have more time to properly enjoy the whole dish and get my fill but we had to run to catch a boat for a canal tour. Highly recommended to give them a try.

It's on Prinsenstraat, like 3 blocks north of the Anne Frank House. Easiest way I found was to get off at the Dam tram stop and just walk west like 4 canals. I had some large dutch beer of some sort, and a lemon meringue pie. The pie was pretty tasty and about 5 euro. The beer was 3 euro. Not too shabby! Service was quite good I think for Europe.
