I had a great Argentinian fillet stake with fries... cooked perfectly as I asked served with a very good sauce. Fries were yummy and very dutch... with majo. They have all kind of beers and drinks. Some took chicken, which was yummy also and giant shrimps.. all good stuff. Not even too expensive. My Creme Brule with dulce de lece was gooooooood!! We use to get there for late office dinners.... at quarter end. Good place. Central to Amstelveen. The South American music can be too loud at moments but over all pleasant.

Stopped into CAU Steakhouse without a reservation and were pleasantly surprised--they were able to…read moreaccommodate us right away, which was a huge win. We ordered the 900g sampler, and it was fantastic. The meat was juicy, perfectly grilled, and gave us a great taste of multiple cuts, making it ideal for sharing and trying a little bit of everything. Each piece was flavorful and cooked just right--exactly what you want from a steakhouse experience. The burger was spot-on, especially for the kids--simple, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. Pair everything with the crispy fries and classic sides, and it made for a very satisfying meal. Great food, welcoming service, and flexible seating even without a reservation. If you're in Amsterdam and craving a solid steakhouse with options for both adults and kids, CAU is a great choice. Would definitely return

Yesterday I went to have dinner with a friend at El Gaucho in Leiden. I must say that it is more…read morethan 10 years that I go there and as much as I find the wine selection not the best, the food has always been quite good. I had a very bad experience with a waiter, possible the manager of the restaurant, I am not sure, he behaved like he was in charge. I called to reserve a table for two for the evening, I asked for a table close to a window, if possible. When I arrived I was given not a table at the window, while there was a free table (not marked as reserved) close to a window, a table for 4 people. I asked if I could get that table if free, since it was already 20:15 (it was unlikely for them to fill that table), he said no because I had bookd just a few hours earlier, I then asked to see other available tables in the back of the restaurtant, and he eventually accomodated me on a table for 4. So, the feeling was that I could not get a table close to a window just because he said so. OK. After a few minutes a table for 2 close to a window got available and somebody else kindly transfered me there. When I order the food, I was clarifying with the waiter the piece of meat I wanted, this guy come close, jumped into the conversation and told me I should not ask such things and have no expectations that my wishes could be fulfilled (I have asked for the same thing everytime I have been there for the last 10 years and was never disappointed, and also yesterday eventually what I got was ok), still this guy had to be like that with me. Then, at 21:30 we were brought the menu for dessert, at 21:42 we asked for a dessert, and the same guy told us that the kitchen was closed at 21:30, we were not reminded of that when they brought us the menu, nor we knews what time it was, we were having a good time and did not mind the time. I asked to still make an effort, as we really wanted to have a dessert, which by the way is not something that you cook on the moment, it is just something you place on a dish and bring to the table. Anyway, the guy (still the same guy) said that that was impossible, and he refused to go and ask in the kitchen, and treted me like I was crazy just only asking for it. Left us with no dessert. He said we could order coffees, we said no, and he brought us the bill 3 minutes after that (we did not ask for it), and 3 more minutes after someone else came with the machine to make us pay (again, we did not ask for it, and they even refused to split the bill). Result, this guy ruined the good experience we were having. He works in the hospitality business but he is definitely an amateur of this business and ruined the experience for us, it felt like he was being mean to me from the moment I stepped into the restaurant. Not going to El Gaucho anymore, there are many other good places for steak in Leiden or in Den Haag. I am very disappointed!

The mixed grill offered a bit of all of the meat selections, sans the chicken. Everything was flavorful. Do note that there is charcoal continuing to heat/cook the mixed grill, so you'll want to shuffle stuff around so you don't over cook the beef cuts. Desserts were outstanding.

Service was fine, ambiance is cute, but the place is Spanish in name only, don't be fooled. There won't be a next time. Place is a tourist trap. Good for a quick drink and then move on.

You go down a set of stairs to get to it. From what I was told it's been here for a long time and the menu hasn't changed much either. The name itself suggests it's a Argentinian steakhouse and there are many such places dotted around Central Europe with similar sounding names. I ordered the all you can eat ribs menu and I could not finish the first portion that arrived. Great tasting ribs and fries and it was yummy. The meat was tender and fell off the bone and the sauce was great. The wine list small but well priced and we enjoyed a great Syrah from Argentina. Service was quick and super friendly and we had two great waiters by us. Dessert was also ok and all in all we had a great evening. I would happily come here again.

The staff was very patient and helpful with explaining how a meal works here. They will take the time to talk about what you like to make sure you select the right thing and answer any questions. The cocktail was also really good. I made a reservation, which seemed like the thing to do because it was lively inside. I mentioned this place to friends and they had already heard about it so it seems to be pretty popular and for good reason.

However I was walking back to my hotel one night and saw the steak that a diner was eating and I thought 'I gotta try that!' I ordered the 300gm rib eye medium rare (€23.50) and it was one of the best (if not the best) steaks I have ever had. If anyone has been to Rockpool in Australia this restaurant beats it hands down. Cooked to perfection, tender, seasoned perfectly. I always believe if the steak is good you don't need sauce with it. Call me a purist but this steak did not need sauce. I had a house wine with it which was also very good! It was a Tempranillo cab merlot. Not the cheapest restaurant but if you live in Perth Australia, you will agree that this is a good value meal! Service was a bit iffy at the start. It took the place about 3 mins for anyone to ask us if we needed a seat, but after that it was spot on :) The coke is expensive. €2.50 for 200ml. So just go ahead and order wine or beer! Five stars from me. I'm going back tonight!
