If you are sharing a meal with someone, get items from a different prix-fixe menu and you can both try a variety of items. We enjoyed: * Charcuterie plate: sausages taste minimally processed and delicious * Beef and onion stew: taste slightly different than ones in America * Cauliflower and cheese oven bake: vegetarian's comfort food * Hutspot (mashed potatoes and carrots) and meatballs: non-vegetarian's comfort food * Pea soup with smoked ham For desserts, we had chocolate mousse and vlaflip (vanilla custard) and they were just okay. I'm not sure if desserts are the Dutch's strengths, except maybe the Dutch apple pie. They even bottle their own house beer. The restaurant is small. Try to make a reservation if you can. We didn't have a reservation, but went to the restaurant at around 5PM and were seated in about 15 minutes. At times, the line could get very long, but the staff is still welcoming and ensures that everyone gets served...eventually.

Portions are substantial and a very good value in a neighborhood where tourist-markups are the norm. They have a/c, but in order to feel it you'll need to sit closer to the back of the restaurant/near the kitchen, as there is only one wall unit back there, and they leave the front of the restaurant open to the elements (even in 98+ degree heat).

It is in the lobby hotel, and when you walk into the hotel it's directly to your left. The service was amazing, everyone was very friendly. We had Rose as our server, she was very personable and gave great recommendations about the menu. My family and I got the fish special, the flat iron steak, the mussels, and the crème brûlée. Would highly recommend all of these dishes, they were delicious! Would recommend this place if you are visiting Amsterdam. Great restaurant for family dinners or a date night!

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 quail was very nicely done and very good. The dessert was interesting my partner definitely liked it more than I did. Overall, I recommend this place as it's pretty solid place to try while in Amsterdam.

We were attracted by their bountiful vegetarian options. I'm going to start with one of my dining companions who ordered the small vegetarian platter as her meal and freaked out that it would be too big after ordering it. It was pretty big but to no one's surprise, she had no problem tackling the whole thing. It contained a little sampling of many of their vegetarian options including a hummus, cheese, jackfruit something, a salad, rolls, and vegan sausage. This is a great way to try a bunch of different things or a solution if you can't decide what to order. GF and I did a similar sampling and ordered a few items to share: vegetarian or vegan (can't remember) bitterballen, vegan sausage sandwich, fries, and I couldn't resist trying MUSTARD SOUP. We had made our decision on the first few items but at the buzzer when placing our order, I noticed "mustard soup" and had to inquire what on earth that was. The waitress explained that it is literally mustard, cream, and broth and as as a mustard stan, I couldn't let this opportunity pass me by and added that to the order. The mustard soup was actually amazing, had onions which I hate but it was so good I was able to overlook that. The bitterballen were crispy and tasty. The vegan sausage sandwich was nothing outrageous but simple and got the job done. The fries include regular shoe-string fries, curly fries, and sweet potato fries with 3 dipping sauces. Don't ask me what the sauces were or which one I preferred because they were all satisfying in their own way. This is a great order to share. I'm glad we stopped by, I love their vegetarian/vegan options, menu diversity, and shareable dishes.

We started with a fun Olive plate and added a fun Friet late with 3 different types of fries and dips.

The diners at the next table asked what it was, so they could order the same plate. It was that good. Hope to go back for more!!

It's located in the top of the Sir Adam hotel and they don't take walk ins so you have to make a reservation and pay ahead of time. I've been complaining about European service and how spoiled we are in America, well, this place will offer you American service in Europe. The restaurant rotates 360 degrees and it has spectacular views of the city at sunset. The food, even the starter bread I got with beer cheeses was outstanding. I kept sending my compliments to the chef because everything I tried was delicious. I'm definitely coming back here when in town
