    Oysters served in plastic plates and salt
    Xue Z.

    Worst meal in Amsterdam, what a shame for being a decent dining place! Me and my friend walked in and there were many empty spaces, the waitress said follow her and then rambled something that neither me and my friend understood, then we followed her to the kitchen, a waiter stopped us and asked her what was going on, she rambled something again and the waiter led us to a table. The food, after so many years I finally see the oyster platter served in a plastic plate with salt rather than metal plates with ice, also no lemon, only vinegar. The meat of the oyster looked like they were bullied in the oyster farm or they were leftovers, and I paid €26 on this. Still we finished it, and waited for our stake for long. The gentleman sitting next to us waited for 20 mins to simply get his check. So did we. We ordered a medium rare rib eye stake for two, not sure of the standard here but to my understanding this is called a sunburn, only 1/10 was cooked. The plates were cold as the weather. And the worst part, I can still feel the cow bleeding in my mouth, we managed to almost finish the dish, and soon the stake turned cold too. I understood how my ancestors hunting in the wild and what were they eating. By the way the only decent thing was the fries on the side. We paid €102 for this meal, regretting why we didn't get a refund.

    My personal favorite was the scallops. It was perfectly cooked, very fresh and juicy on the inside. One of the best Cornish Hen I've ever had. Chicken was not dry at all. It was seasoned well and moist. The steak came with the sauce bearnaise on the side. It was an interesting combo. Every dish I had was great, recommend it for a visit if you are a fan of modern European food!! Overall: 9 / 10 Restaurant Red Amsterdam FOLLOW @kellysfoodblogs for more! #kellythefoodie #kellyinamsterdam

    This is my third negative rating out of the 30+ reviews I've done. I go out of my way to try not to negatively reviews places, but the behavior by a staff member here was unfortunate enough for me to act. Now, perhaps I'm not accustomed to the culture in Amsterdam, but considering that it's a city that thrives from tourists from all over the world, I had assumed that open-mindedness wouldn't be out of the question. I had just landed from a great flight less than an hour ago. I did not change. I looked for a decent restaurant to have some steak on Yelp. Found Red. I came in wearing jeans and Jordan's (13 He Got Games- to be specific) as I saw no dress code. It took me over five minutes to be greeted. Mind you, this is a small restaurant where everyone can see everyone. The waitress who greeted me, I believe her name was Pascal (sp?), looked at me in confusion and asked, "Can I help you?" Lol. By the way, the couple that came in just after me received a nice, "May I take your coat?" I told her I wanted to eat. By paying for food. At this business at which she is employed. She hesitatingly nodded. Ten minutes later, she walked by me and I had to stop her and ask her for a menu. At this point, I'm already turned off with the place but then again, I'm hungry and want some steak and Malbec so... I ordered. There was another waitress that ended up helping me: Tanya (sp?) I believe was her name. She was very delightful. The food was fantastic. I had the Lobster Bisque soup to start, which was good. I had Tenderloin as my main course. It was wonderful.

    It was a lovely restaurant. We made a reservation and came at 6pm but there was still one or two free tables there.(Who knows, maybe they were reserved). We both ordered surf n turf. Very nicely done. The service was good. Will recommend it to others who visited Amsterdam! 听说最好提前预定,我们预订了,六点钟来但是好像还有一两个空桌子。装修的环境很好。点了龙虾和牛排,味道不错,龙虾很新鲜,牛排半熟也刚刚好。

We were able to get seated right on the window area. We chose menu 5, which was just enough for two people. Everything was delicious! Their pea soup is out of this world. Don't know why as it is a simple dish but wow! I also love their herring. It was so delicious that I wanted seconds. It paired so well with their onions and mustard. And their bitterballen was just enough bite. Creamy and crispy! We also got a combination of the hutspot. They were all delicious! Although for me the meatball was just a tad bit salty but it is probably just me! Everything else was spot on. I love their dessert at the end. It was a great way to end the night. Our server and their staff were all amazing! Very friendly and welcoming. Yes it is a tourist spot but totally worth it.

We did not have one but they were happy to seat the 2 of us and invited us to switch tables once another couple left (they were checking out). Small space, can accommodate groups of 2-4, cozy atmosphere, lots of the traditional blue and white ceramics on the wall (dishes and tiles). Traditional Dutch cuisine: we ordered the Boerenkoolstamppot with smoked sausage and Zuurkoolstamppot with smoked sausage and a slice of apple pie to share for dessert. The food arrived piping hot in about 20 minutes. It was sooo delicious--the tasty juicy sausage pairs perfectly the mashed potatoes with either sauerkraut or kale. The apple pie was also tasty--larger chunks of apple and more spices less sugar than American apple pie from what I can tell. Perfect with whipped cream. A must visit if you're in Amsterdam and want to try traditional fare. Highly recommended!

    The Pantry - I hadn't had Dutch apple pie since my days waiting tables at Denny's, in the '80s & this was well worth the wait.

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!
