'Perhaps they close at 10' he thinks and walks out. On a whim he checks the restaurant times. Apparently the place is open till 11:30. He walks back in and asks why, if the restaurant is open till 11:30 that he can't be seated at 9:20 and he is told that they are "still trying to catch up" What exactly am I, the brown guy in question, supposed to think? You want me to be believe that you won't seat anyone for 2 hours and 10 minutes but keep the place open? Or the much more obvious explanation...

Upon arrival we were afraid to walk into a tourist trap, being so close to the center. But we were…read moresurprised in the nice kind of way! The tapas on the menu are typical Spanish, finding the ones that you would see in any average Spanish bar. Tia Rosa just made and presented them in a way that was not average. Both the presentation, with side salads, herbs and sauces made the tapas really nice and tasty. Besides that the service and the location are of the best you can get. Being situated on one of the nicest canals in Amsterdam centre, with the bridges lighted and barely any cars passing by, makes your diner even more special. The waiters very kind and accommodating. Overall a good experience and a good place to eat tapas. Note: even a Spaniard agrees with this!

I randomly had unscheduled stopover in Amsterdam - much to my delight - and so I looked to my…read morefellow helpers for a place to eat. It ended up being a great decision, because Pata Negra was amazing. The divey, eclectic bar-restaurant was packed to the brim and full of energy. I was by myself, of course, so I grabbed one of the few remaining spots at the bar after a warm welcome and escort from The owner. He chatted with me a bit and then told the bartender to take good care of me. I ordered some sangria and a few tapas (empanadas, bacon wrapped dates and lamb steak bites) and soaked everything in. I read some of the messages carved into the walls and woodwork throughout the kitschy joint and people-watched across the tables tightly lined against the window. The empanadas and dates were tasty but the beef was tough and lacked flavor. I've only had bacon-wrapped dates once (I'm not too adventurous with food), and they were delicious. So comparatively, these weren't as good. Honestly, if the food was just one step higher, I'd give the joint five stars. Everyone around me seemed to enjoy their food, though, and lots of people were ordering what looked like creme brûlée. I was too full to order dessert, though. The owner came by again later to sit and chat with me for awhile - and take a shot (yikes!). Even though I was new to Amsterdam and was exploring by myself, he made me feel right at home. I stayed for another sangria, but ended up leaving after only because I wanted to explore more of the city in my limited time there. I'd definitely recommend checking out this place.

I was especially impressed with the chef's awareness of night shade allergies and thoughtfulness about what he could add to my plate that wouldn't be harmful. In fact, when he learned that I had shared that I had allergies to tomatoes and potatoes he sent our server back to confirm that I had a night shade allergy and that he shouldn't put eggplant on my plate. The inside of the restaurant is also picturesque so even though it was pouring raining outside it was pleasant inside.
