None of the plates were memorable or made me want to return. The service was poor because the staffing was short handed. In summary, four stars for the space, three stars for the food, and two stars for service.

Absolutely stunning!…read more This bar is set within a part and it is an oasis of tranquility within the net of a series of very busy roads. You cannot help but breathe more deeply, slow down and enjoy yourself on just approaching this venue. Once inside you are greeted by a posh eatery and a wonderfully upscale but relaxed bar with an outdoor patio on to the park. Not inexpensive but well worth the cost, this is a stunning venue.

Parker's in the Rosarium is conveniently located near the Zuid As and the RAI conferencing centre,…read moreI was quite surprised to stumble this little gem whilst visiting the Amstelpark recently. Easy to reach as it is conveniently located near the A10 and RAI train station. There is ample parking space in front of the entrance. I think it took me about 5 min by bicycle from the office on the Zuid As. Surrounded by flowers and lush green, the terrace proved to be quiet and intimate. Great for a business lunch on a sunny day. Being a fan of aromatic foods, I enjoyed the tom yum soup. The chicken kofta was a finely spiced novelty for me. The menu offers a nice selection of both Asian and European dishes catering to all tastes. Good selection of wines, too. Service was trim and efficient. A nice touch I noted written in the menu was the optional 1-hr service for those who indeed are time constrained because of business hours.

Very nice space, very nicely design and big. It is outside…read morethe center so you need either car/bike/motorbike to get there or by metro... or ... yes.. a taxi. I was there for my company's Christmas party.... very nice. They let you get there the stuff you want for your own music and shows. Food is good (bar food), and drinks are nice. Just a bit outside the usual central path.... but then you get a nice spacey place with very easy parking !!

This must clearly be one of the most amazing venues I have ever seen! We ran a training workshop…read morehere, but I can imagine all sorts of events in this location. The most amazing thing about it is just the vast space you have. Being here feels like having moved in together with a group of friends, there are fridges with soft drinks and Nespresso machines, you simply help yourself to anything you need. To create a nice atmosphere, there is a Sonos sound system with Spotify, and also a TV screen for presentations. They do provide all possible adaptors (HDMI, VGA, Mac, etc...) in case you forget to bring your own. It is a bit pricey, but completely worth it if you want to run an event at a location that leaves an impression.

My first time, but I love it already. There is a limping cat…read morewho is oh so cute (I don't like cats) you will want his attention. Service is great, don't forget to make your waiter a human, like ask for his name or something It is not a people watching spot but it is fantastic for a tête à tête with a good a dear friend, let's face it all cafes sales the same freaking wine, it is all about location and what you want to use it for. The street is low key, you will find locals, yes you can wear your flip flop. Yes, I will go there again

I took a group of four English friends here because they advertise having a Dutch and English…read morespoken pub quiz. Sadly this meant a Dutch pub quiz with many questions about Dutch politics, Dutch vocabulary and Dutch culture, that the quiz master could translate for our table upon request, so this wasn't a huge success. The quiz master himself seemed bored, and got irritated with the chatter and laughter of the participants. Take it easy dude, it's only a pub quiz and it's meant to be fun! Two out of the six teams left during the intermission. Food was pretty decent and it was a nice local bar, but it's not my neighborhood and all in all the experience was disappointing so I won't be returning.

First and foremost, the standout service sets Your Space apart from other shared meeting…read moreenvironments. The ladies who run this space add creative, enthusiastic flare to their inspiring venue to help your ideas develop. It's choice location in the inner canal belt makes this a grade A+ venue for work and social gatherings, easily accessible by tram and bike. The views ain't bad either; you can see as far as the Marnixstraat from it's second story window. Canals as far as the eye can see! These ladies have carefully curated their snacks; making sure they tick all the boxes for any kind of diet. They also have drip and SUPER FANCY coffee - don't forget to ask for a flat white! They are Aussies, after all. The venue is equipped with high speed wifi, chrome cast and funky tunes. There's a whiteboard wall (!) and if you're like me and have a weird thing about stationary and office supplies, you'll basically want to live up there. There are 3 large rooms, all beautifully decorated and themed with names (ask them about it!) to help you get into your creative groove. If you love quiet, victorian inspired decor, you'll love the Library. Would highly recommend their service/venue.

The venue features three unique meeting rooms, gorgeous canal views, an oxygen-rich indoor oasis and lush velvet sofas that'll make you say 'ahhhh...' It's a laid-back, inspiring atmosphere that breeds creativity, growth and innovation. But that's not the clincher. It's the experience that the space's hands-on hosts are committed to providing each and every time - the unparalleled service, impeccable attention to detail, and flexible offerings customised to meet your unique needs.

I'm of two minds about riding lessons here. I like to put in some equestrian time wherever I am in…read morethe world, and after the whole process of getting approved at this stable, I was excited to ride here. On one hand, it was beautiful and the horses were well-trained, and once I got into a nice riding rhythm, the experience was enjoyable. On the other hand, the trainers... I dunno, maybe it was a cultural barrier... because they seemed checked out. They just never seemed particularly enthusiastic or personable. I get that these trainers might be 20-year-olds used to training adolescent girls and they don't need to be particularly sociable to be good instructors, but it kind of felt like I was in their way and they were just rolling from one lesson to the next. Then again, I might be overthinking. My regular private instructor once said that busy riding schools tend to be like this - filling up as many lessons as possible, resulting in stretching their attention thin. They were respectable enough and some of the other students I interacted with were fantastic and much more willing to talk and trade helpful tips.

In dit prachtige rijksmonument van bouwmeester Van Gendt is de oudste rijschool van Nederland…read moregevestigd. Dezelfde architect is verantwoordelijk voor Concertgebouw en Stadsschouwburg. De ingang is aan de Vondelstraat. Bezoekers komen binnen via een museumwinkeltje waar de entree betaald kan worden. Die geeft toegang, recht op een drankje en komt deels ten goede van het Levend Paardenmuseum. Deze stichting heeft tot doel de binnenkant van het gebouw in oude luister te herstellen en te onderhouden. De gemeente Amsterdam is verantwoordelijk voor de buitenkant, manegehouder Vincent Valk voor het paardenbedrijf en de horeca. De manege heeft een binnen- en een buitenrijbaan. De buitenrijbaan en binnenplaats grenzen aan de tuinen van de buren. Dat was bij de bouw in 1882 wel anders, toen was dit braakliggend terrein, ver buiten de stad. De foyer bevindt zich boven, daar is ook de bar. Via de foyer kom je op het balkon. Van daaruit een goed uitzicht op de binnenrijbaan en een prima plek om een drankje te drinken. Je kunt hier paardrijden, volwassenen kopen een starterspakket alvorens in een groepsles verder te gaan. Kinderen vinden zo ook hun weg. Voor hen zijn er ponykampen waar een hele week met vriendjes en vriendinnetjes met en tussen de paarden wordt beleefd. Er zijn hier twee studentenverenigingen actief. Er wordt dressuur-, spring- en carrousel les gegeven. Carrousel is een teamsport waarbij figuren op muziek wordt gereden. Privépaarden stappen na de les regelmatig uit in het Vondelpark, altijd een bezienswaardigheid in dit stadspark tussen de joggers en fietsers. De manege heeft ook een paardenvrachtwagen waarmee buitenritten in het Amsterdamse bos kunnen worden geaccommodeerd. Dit mooie gebouw kan gehuurd worden voor onvergetelijke feestjes, groot en klein. Er zijn hier films opgenomen, even geleden "Keetje Tippel", meer recent "Pak van mijn Hart". Kinderfeestjes met taart, pannenkoeken of patat en een begeleid ritje op paard of pony zijn hier te boeken. Voor de volwassenen zijn er high teas met lekkere hapjes. Zo timmert 's lands oudste rijschool aan de weg om ook in deze moderne tijd succesvol te zijn. En dat lukt aardig, ga maar kijken!
