Also got the game pate which was very interesting! And the snackplatter included cheese sausage and bitterballen, which is a great starter! Love their bitterballen. So so good!

I would recommend making reservations as this place can get filled up quick!

This place is a really cool bar with nice ambiance. It seems like a good place to hang out with…read morefriends after work! We came here for dinner and I thought the food was okay. I ordered the Angus rib steak and they recommended medium, but my steak was quite pink and very chewy. My friends remarked it looked more like medium rare or even rare and I agreed. It was very hard to chew the pieces. The right part of the steak was also a lot of gristle or cartilage. The herb butter was not bad and I ended up using a lot of it on the steak. I did share a split pea soup with my spouse and we liked the soup. It had boar sausage and I didn't think it was that salty like I normally do with a lot of sausage. The soup was quite thick and the flavors were nice. The pea flavors were indeed strong. My friend got the beef stew but they didn't give you that much meat. They did give you a lot of fries though. I thought the fries were thick and not bad. My spouse and friend both ordered the Zealand mussels and it came in this giant pot. The soup was at the bottom but it was difficult to get to the soup at the bottom of the pot since the mussels were on top. They bought thought this dish was okay. They didn't charge for water here which was nice. It's a tossup in Europe if they will charge you for water!

We had made a reservation to come to Vlaming on Christmas eve. When we arrived, we were warmly…read moregreeted as soon as we walked in. Our table was ready, and we were immediately seated. 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.

Everything about this place was great!…read more I'll start with the service. We walked in around 4:10 and they didn't start food service for another 20 minutes. The waiter was super cool and told us to have a seat anywhere we liked and brought us a drink menu. He knew we wanted to eat so at exactly 4:30 he came and took our orders. Through out the meal he was on top of everything and even offered many suggestions! The food was spectacular as well. I had the trio of fries and my friends had other small plates that were all so good! And the sauces that come with the fries, mamma mia! We also shared the Boca's Platter and it was absolutely to die for. Do not pass this up. I repeat, do not pass this up! Between 4 people, the medium was plenty of food. The space itself was also nice. They had outdoor seating for nicer days. We went right when food service began on a Monday afternoon so can't speak to how busy it gets during peak hours. Go for the great service, go for the Boca Platter, whatever you do, just go!

The bruschetta was delicious and if you love blue cheese, get it...it's extremely rich and creamy. The three kinds of fries were solid; curly, sweet potato, and regular with some chili ketchups. The boca platter was HUGE and we got the medium for 4 people. Came with steak, fried shrimp, mackerel potato salad, crostini, and an assortment of cheeses and some pepperoni. Last but not least...my favorite...the tartare. The quail egg was delicately placed atop the center of the meat and placed alongside the four little crostini on the plate. It was juicy and had so much flavor, a little spicy but not an overwhelming amount of chili spice. This meal reminded me of tapas in Madrid; definitely stop by bocas and get everything!
