I really liked this place. Between the ample bench seating, the beautiful views of the water, and…read morethe delicious food, I got a pretty good feeling dining here. The indoor decor is sort of alpha male masculine, with stainless steel, aged wood and leather, but the staff was accommodating and gracious when I came here with my baby and met my friends who also had a baby. I hear that on Saturdays this place is Baby Central. :) But you can still find business guys and glamorous people here as well. But oh my god, the food! The steak was delicious, and thick, and juicy. I have never had a steak that is so thick but was still so easy to cut, and I used to live in Chicago, which tends to have the best steaks in America. The steak fries were also delicious and salty and crispy. Even the vegetables were good. It took me a while to finish everything, but I didn't want to let any of it go to waste. I wanted it in mah belly! They had an interesting drink and wine menu that I never got to try, but I'd like to the next time I come here. I highly recommend coming by to NAP. :)

I must have walked by this place dozens of times without really knowing what was inside, but I'm so…read moreglad I finally stopped in. 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!

Busy enough to be lively but quiet enough we could still have a conversation. One of our friends had some minor medical issues (fainting, weakness) while we were there.

The waiter/bartender…read morespoke English very well with us and was more than happy to make food and drink recommendations. There was no table for our party of 5 but he let us sit at a table that was reserved for someone who wouldn't be there for a bit. Great vibe, music and decor. It felt like a lot of locals hanging out there and everyone was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend going a little out of your way to visit. We took an Uber from Central Station to Joost and it was about 20€, worth it since it was pouring down rain. This place was recommended to our friend by a brewer!

Probably one of the best dinners I had during my trip to Europe this summer…read more Their menu is set up to be sort of like a sampling menu where it's recommended you order multiple dishes in order to be full. It's great for getting to try a lot of things! The servers here work really hard, during the dinner rush there was only 2 of them, therefore be a little patient! The wait is totally worth. Also, make a reservation if you can, they are very popular. (It was packed and we arrived 20 minutes early for our table) We ordered oysters, lobster, seabass (whole), scallops, green salad, bread, and at the end, french coffee. The highlight of the entire dinner were the razor clams. Absolutely unbelievable and a must order if you ever visit and it's on the menu! The coffee was extremely dark and we didn't finish any of it. But, being American, we probably should've known better and researched before we ordered. The creme brûlée was also very enjoyable! (Side note: all the creme brûlées I had in Europe were pre-made and not hot when they came out. Europe tingz?) The bill didn't come out to be outrageous at all and basically all we ordered was seafood... how? All in all, the perfect dinner to end my birthday. I'll be dreaming about this place for the next few years until I visit Amsterdam again.

We grabbed menus and, before we could crack them open, he was back with English menus - something must have given us away as being tourists. ; ) We opted for a table outside. I started with Bobby's gin - with closed pushed into orange slices and cinnamon stick added, it's amazingly refreshing & not terribly priced. BONUS: paper staw Of course, we had to get bitterballen. Say what you will, a hefty dose of mustard and these lil balls are the perfect sidekick for a brew. I went with the chicken and waffle. The sweet waffle paired nicely with the savory chicken. Other dishes at our table: sausage, schnitzel and fries... plus a few beers. I'd suggest getting the house recommendation of half chicken... it smells amazing and was being devoured by regulars all around us. The place was hopping - the line for the toilet was longer than the wait for our food. Service great... drinks inconsistent - as 2 others ordered Bobby's gin & they weren't garnished the same as the original one, tho equally delicious. Solid 4

The first place we walked by was KOH but it looked like a tiny little delivery place so we kept on walking. On our way back we popped our heads into KOH and that's when the wonderful smell of the food hit us so we popped in, sat down and ordered. The food was wonderful, it's a small loud bustling place that seems to do mostly deliveries, tables were tiny with uncomfortable stools but the food really shined! We were offered shrimp crackers when we sat and started with fish cakes that came with a yummy chili sauce. I had the yellow curry with chicken and it was extremely tasty, the flavors were on point and the chicken was cooked beautifully. A few bottles of Thai beer to go with the food made for a wonderful experience. Would definitely eat here again. Maybe not a fine dining atmosphere but the food was exceptional! I was only going to give four stars based on the noise and small cluttered dining area, based purely on the food it was a five star meal.

DISGUSTING. So, we had to wait 1 full hour to get our food…read more The weather today was CRAP, rainy and no intension to go out. So, we ordered at KOH. Litterally 60meters from our house, like i said, didnt want to go out. After one hour we called to ask where the food was..they said: its on its way (they deliver on bikes, by teenagers) and we explained we live across them so logically, you check the address right??!! Still...nothing after 10min. My husband went to there 'toko' and asked why oh why did it took so long?? The OWNER his response was this: Hey im doing my best! We dont know where your food is, probably with one of the bikers (???!!) wtf.. so my husband asked him if they check the adresses to start with, we live across them!! The owner then said: hey, then just order a pizza dude!! (Wtffff) this response and his behavior. Not professional, no excuse to us..but angry and didnt care at all! My husband told him, u know what, stick the money in your dirty food and enjoy it! We'll never order here again. Then the owner said; it will come in 10min, go home! (Wtf) Yes indeed, it arrived after 1,5hr...cold as ICE. Thank you and BYE.

We almost missed the boat that leaves the dock at 6:30pm because we took an Uber and didn't realize it was during rush hour. NOTE: take public transportation to get here! The tram is easy! When we got on the boat we were welcomed with apple cider and a cheese/meat board. We then took the 45-60 minute journey to the island where we would be eating dinner. The weather wasn't the best (rain/cold) but that didn't ruin our experience at all! We got on the island and were shown into the bunker.. SO COOL! We then started our 5 course dining experience and we ended up going with the wine pairing as well. They allow you to walk the grounds, but because of the weather we didn't get a chance to do that. They also have a wine cellar which is pretty cool. After the meal, we went back on the boat for some cookies and coffee. Overall, I highly recommend this experience, especially if you are into food! It is such a fun dining experience, so unique! I think the one during the summer is WAY better just because of the weather and you get to eat in a greenhouse with the views.
