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

The server admitted it was frozen out of a bag, just reheated. Gross. He recommended the calamari "next time". We also had the Iberian ham, which came out looking like someone had hacked it with a steak knife. Tasted fine, but wtf, I doubt it was the real product. 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.

I also tried the mezcal pairing. It was a great experience in total. This was also how I learned that I don't care for mezcal. Now I know to avoid it in other situations. 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.

Everything was delicious and the team made me feel special on my birthday.

Argentinian steakhouse in Amsterdam done really well! Who would have thought that?…read more The meats are super tender, super fresh, and super delicious. The soup and sausages I had as a side are also very good. One thing I can appreciate is that the staff knows what they are talking about. Take their suggestions and never look back, even if the bill gets up there in price. You will thank me later.

I will start with this...we only stopped in for one drink and a tiramasu. It was near closing, but…read morethey welcomed us into the place. I ordered a Jack and water. I watched the guy pull the Jack bottle from the shelf and pour the drink. One jigger. 3/4 full. If you're gonna use a jigger and charge me full price, pour to the top. But I digress. That wasn't the issue. I am a whiskey/bourbon drinker. I know my whiskeys, bourbons and the family. This was ABSOULTELY scotch. In Amsterdam, the Jack, the Jim Beam, Makers, and Bullet are far more expensive because they are imported. This was definitely scotch in a Jack bottle. No Doubt. none. Zero. My wife's drink was also a less than full jigger. So we paid full price for two terrible drinks and a Tiramasu that was once frozen but had been defrosted. Snarky service, bad drinks, supermarket dessert. I'm not a complainer, and I didn't complain. Perhaps I should have. But overall, if you check out my Yelp profile, I love to praise service, food and ambiance, but this place sucked away my will to live. Avoid it.

We felt relaxed and happy throughout the meal. Alex was the best waiter we had on the trip. He made the whole experience wonderful. Would definitely go again - in fact we almost went twice in the same week / trip.

Seriously, does nobody just decide they are going somewhere? With live music being played with a guitar and some drums...it really helped set the scene. A special was 50 Euro for 2 people and you get two appetizers (Carpaccio or Shrimp), two entrees (Steak or Fish) and an entire bottle of wine (you pick red or white). The apps were very good (we had one of each), the steak was good, and the wine was also good. The value was great and really couldn't be beat. The service was very nice as well. We sat close to the kitchen and watched everything just go smoothly. The chef seemed to like what he was doing and the servers seemed happy as well. That may seem like a little thing, but it really adds to the experience. I can't say we will seek out this restaurant again, but if you are in the area and need a spot to eat, this is pretty decent!
