Cozy, lovely place. We were at the terrace since the weather was perfect for a diner outside. The meat was great, the staff kind, friendly and professional. We will come back in September to enjoy the live music (it is cancelled during) summer time). Would be great also to see some Argentinian beef in the menu 😉.
We had such a perfect dinner yesterday! Starting with excellent shrimp bitterballen and ending with a delicious pavlova, good wine suggestions and very attentive and friendly service. Lovely ambiance too and space. They didn’t have the lamb last night so good excuse to go back, and would love to try their freshly made pasta too.
The place is super nice and we visited it twice during our short stay in Amsterdam. Really good meat, delicious aperitifs and deserts 😊 Bar has a lot of options, we really loved it. The terrace is peaceful and the restaurant will suit both: slow dinner for 2 or a gathering in a big group! Will definitely recommend to come ❤️
I had dinner here with a friend last night and we had such a great evening. The atmosphere was so nice especially with the live jazz musicians. The staff were genuinely warm, super attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout the evening. The starters were amazing, especially the gambas and the hamachi (I recommend!). For the main, we shared the côte de boeuf with veal jus, which was cooked really well and absolutely delicious. Overall, we both had an amazing night. Can’t wait to come back!
Two of us dined here last Friday to celebrate our anniversary and get a feeling for the venue as we are considering potential wedding locations in the city. Unfortunately, our experience made neither very enjoyable. We showed up for our reservation on time at 21:00 and patiently waited to be seated, as instructed upon entering. Greeted only by the smell of the toilets, we were only reluctantly approached by a member of staff after almost ten minutes. We were told we could hang our jackets in another room and follow the waiter to our table, but by the time we had put our jackets away he was gone. We approached him at the bar and were shown to a table for four that was still dirty. Another member of staff was asked to clean it but did not finish doing so before leaving. We waited another ten minutes before anyone came back to finally clear and wipe the table. The food menu was only provided upon further request, with only the drinks menus left at the table at first. The food itself was good and arrived quickly, although it was repeatedly first brought to the neighboring table, whose guests had already finished their meal long before. Ultimately, the staff’s inattentiveness and persistent lack of communication made this a very poor experience. This culminated in us being presented with another table’s bill, which we paid, resulting in a €50 overcharge, before realizing the mistake. The issue was resolved with the staff before we left. Overall, the location is cool and cozy and the kitchen was efficient, but the disorganization on the floor was striking. Given that the restaurant was only about half full and we were among the few tables still ordering food at that hour, there seemed to be no justification for such substandard service.
