    The food was good but I found nothing special in any of the services at this restaurant. We had a…read morereservation made by request through the hotel concierge. Upon arrival, we didn't feel welcomed even checking in with a reservation. We asked for outside seating but they said they reserved us inside seating either at the bar or at the bar shelf by the window at the entrance door. Immediately, my husband and I felt that this was very much a locals place and they very much don't want tourists. (I get it, coined flipped, I live in South Florida) We decided to take the 2 bar seats on the quiet side of the bar. It gave us a view to the kitchen, which was the best part of the meal. I could see the absolute passion from the guys in the kitchen cooking and plating their love for food. Too bad the rest of the service from the bar was less than stellar. I probably wouldn't come back but I would recommend anyone local to check it out for the food above all. The clams had a wonderful broth that I wish there was a basket of bread to soak up the juice left over from the chorizo crumbles and meaty little clams. The skewers of roasted chicken thighs were crispy and well seasoned on the outside while being tender and juicy on the inside. So simply yet so complex. Just wish the service was more complex, or at least friendly.

    This place was at the end of my friends street and every time we biked back home, it was ALWAYS…read morebusy. My second night in town we stopped by for a glass of bubbles. The place was packed with fun and happy people. Everyone was really nice and the sparking wine was great! The food smelled amazing.

    My friend highly recommended this location so I had to give it a try…read more We ordered the calamari and smoked ham appetizer and also the fish and meat paella. Appetizers came first and the first thing that surprised me was that the calamari came in one huge piece. I loved the olive oil and pesto sauce that coated the calamari and it tasted fresh with just the right amount of chewiness, not too rubbery. I'd highly recommend this dish. The smoked ham appetizer was really just a slightly thicker version of prosciutto that still tasted quite good. Ham was extremely flaky and so different compared to American processed ham. The main dish was the fish and meat paella. There is all sorts of seafood in the paella, calamari, clams, mussels, shrimp, crawfish, and the meat is mostly just chicken. The rice is slightly tough, but didn't stick to one another. Seafood all tasted fresh and thankfully nothing was overcooked. The paella was quite large and extremely filling for 2. I'd caution ordering any other main dishes along with the paella.

    Vamos a ver is an unpretentious, authentic Spanish food place. They don't only serve tapas but also…read morefull meals. The portions are generous but fear not, the food is good! I happily enjoyed the slightly toasted bread with the yummy home-made allioli that brought back memories of Spain. That's how an aioli's supposed to taste, it was certainly the best I had so far in Amsterdam. And also the main, Solomillo a la plancha, was fully to my taste, I really enjoyed these 2 tender, juicy steaks. The staff is genuinely friendly. Not the typical Spanish exuberant-vocal friendly but definitely makes you feel welcome and want to come back.
