We've been served by 4 different waiters/waitresses that asked the same thing every 5 minutes (no follow up by the same waiter). the prices are pretty expensive for the quantity of food that is provided. fortunately the taste is good.

Cozy restaurant with a patio as well I had the pork satay which was outstanding. Kabobs of pirk on a skewer with a thick satay sauce.

I must have walked by this place dozens of times without really knowing what was inside, but I'm so…read moreglad I finally stopped in. Located on the Rozengracht, it's super central and easy to get to from just about anywhere in the Jordaan or the Center. * The Atmosphere: It's dark, moody, and has a very cool "late-night" energy. Even if you aren't sure what it is from the street, the vibe inside is unmistakable. * The Food: If you like meat, this is your spot. The burgers are massive and juicy, and the ribs literally fall off the bone. * The Vibe: It's a bit louder and more energetic than a standard restaurant, making it perfect for a night out with a group or a casual date with great cocktails. It gets incredibly busy, so even though it feels like a "hidden" spot from the outside, you'll definitely want to book a table ahead of time. Overall: A total neighborhood win. Don't make the mistake of walking past it for as long as I did!

We entered and seated ourselves, and within 5 minutes, a staff person greeted us, brought us a flask of tap water (tastes great and clean) and two glasses, and gave us menus. We ordered a short rib sandwich for him and a chicken Caesar sandwich for me. These come à la carte but you can add sides if you want. I was glad we didn't because the portion was generous. One thing I've noticed here is that the bread is always high quality--our sandwiches came in baguettes about 8 inches long --I had to cut mine in half to eat it lol. Both were savory and flavorful and satisfying. The meat was tender and well seasoned. We savored every bite! They both had crispy bacon in them as well. Very filling! Just what we needed to energize us after our morning at Keukenhof!

The service and environment were friendly, and the food delivered. We enjoyed a Burrata tomato salad made with arugula, focaccia, penne pasta arriabata, and a rib eye steak. We also purchased a bottle of Italian wine, a barolo that was very nice. I will tell you that if we had drank more going to the bathroom, would've been a harrowing experience as the bathroom is located upstairs up a very narrow, steep stairwell. So, this Italian restaurant is very worthy of being considered while you're in downtown Amsterdam.

This restaurant is located inside the funky-looking Inntel Hotels Amsterdam Zaandam (the one that…read morelooks like stacked Dutch houses!). There's both indoor and outdoor seating - outdoor is lovely during the day with some nice views, but can be windy. My mom and I went with the Three Course Menu (42,50 euros as of April 2025). I had the scallops with brandade and elderflower sauce, veal rib-eye with rosemary gratin and garlic caramel sauce, and the vanilla parfait with Nutella mousse and blueberry jelly. I really enjoyed all three - especially my medium-rare veal, which was tender and flavorful. My mom had the asparagus soup and cod, and we both agreed the veal was way better. The cod tasted a bit too fishy. I also appreciated that they did not skimp on the scallops for my starter. The main issue was the very slow service. We showed up around 7:18 PM and didn't finish until 9:19 PM. The staff were friendly, but the pacing was awkward - it took a long time to even get the menu (we ended up grabbing it ourselves), and there were long gaps (10-15 minutes) between courses. It honestly felt like they were understaffed. Because of the delays, we had to adjust our evening plans and missed the train we originally wanted back to Amsterdam Centraal. If you're looking for a relaxed, leisurely dinner, this might work for you. But if you're on any kind of schedule, I'd think twice.

This was a wonderful way to wind down our day and enjoy a fantastic meal. There weren't many people in the restaurant but as we continued with our meal, more and more people stopped in. The waiters and waitresses went to lunch and yet our service was still wonderful. Our kids were given coloring books and colored pencils to color with while they waited for their meal. They loved their hot chocolates and they didn't make it too hot for our kids to enjoy, it was wonderful. The kids meal came with bitterballens, fries and salad and my kids licked the plate clean. I had the roasted chicken with dutch asparagus and chips, it was beautifully cooked. My husband had the lamb and again, perfectly cooked and we loved every bite. To finish our meal, we shared the cheese plate, with rum cake and ended it with some coffee.
