Loved the Lavender Honey Sour & their signature drink especially but really enjoyed the adventure of trying different cocktails in comparison to the compass + walk/run/fly menu descriptions. Everyone working there took their time with us to chat professionally but casually and gave recommendations which made it an even better experience. Plus, it had a very cool ambiance and we were able to immediately be seated both times. When we travel, we like to try new places every time but this is the first time we decided we had to go back again before we left Amsterdam. Shoutout to Alina who was there both times! Not surprised to see she is an owner, she had that sh*t on lock!! Honestly an integral part of the enjoyment of our experience. Thanks for an unforgettable time!

I've been to a few of the other locations, but the Handboogstraat spot just hits different. It's…read moregot that dark, slightly chaotic, "rariteitenkabinet" vibe that makes you feel like you've stumbled into a hidden club rather than a burger joint. We kept it classic this time: * The Ribs: Fall-off-the-bone tender as always. They don't over-sweeten the glaze, which I appreciate. * Le Cannibale Royale: The pulled pork on top of the patty is a heavy hitter, but the sauerkraut actually cuts through the richness perfectly. * The Fries: Still some of the most consistent in the city--thin, salty, and actually hot. Service was busy (it's Handboogstraat, so what do you expect?), but the staff was super chill and kept the craft beers flowing. It's loud, it's moody, and it's exactly what I wanted for a late-night feed. Plus, I've noticed they actually take the time to read and reply to feedback here, which is a rare find for a place this popular. Keep doing what you're doing!

Place is kind'a noisy because it's a bar/restaurant but can still hear conversations among yourselves. We were first asked if we had any reservations so I assume reservation is suggested if you don't want to wait too long for seats. I'm particular about hosts - the one who got our order was like 'throwing' the menus on the table. He could've just handed it to us. Overall I'd recommend the place.

So, I had made reservations on Thursday evening, but our plans changed and we had to cancel. We tried again the next night, but had to pay a non-cancel "deposit" of 10 euros each for our party of five, 50 euro. But we were sure we could make it and booked. Now if you're thinking that the deposit was charged due to our prior cancellation, it's not the case since another person in our party booked the second reservation. It was well worth the deposit! Firstly, the location is in the Rembrandt area and very nice and active area. We were seated just inside the restaurant, with a very comfortable table, seats and window. The ambiance is great with popular music playing and a very bustling staff that is very attentive, friendly and helpful. The menu is vast and includes a lot of great options including French favorites such as frog legs and snails. We started with an adventurous order of the frog legs and they were amazingly good and the sauce was amazing! We ordered a bit of family style including the Cote Beouf, French onion soup, baked potato, fries, vegetables, chicken, ribeye. It was the perfect amount for the five of us and left room for dessert, which we ordered as a brownie and we asked for a custom dessert of ofogato, or ice cream with espresso poured over, an Italian favorite of mine! The price is reasonable and can highly recommend!

Since we came pretty late, none of the appetizers were available and only steaks. Which was fine for me, since I didn't want to waste any valuable calories on anything but steak. Ordered a massive Côte de Beouf (800 grams or 28 ounces) and some Grilled Vegetables on the side. This was an extremely well-cooked steak! European medium rare borders closer to rare than medium, which is fine for me as long as the steak is cooked well. Quite tasty! Service was fine, no complaints from me. Honestly can't believe I've never been to De Nachtwacht before. Definitely need to come back.

Everything we had was cooked well and tasted great. The service was friendly and attentive without being pushy, and the drinks were nicely made. The restaurant is well-decorated with a cozy, modern feel. The only minor drawback is the restrooms--they're a bit tricky to access, but honestly that's pretty normal for Amsterdam's older buildings. All in all, I'd definitely return. Good food, great service, and a convenient location make Black & Blue a solid choice for dinner in the area.
