Vessel, Amsterdam: A sneak preview of Noah’s birthday dinner spot on Saturday. All-day brasserie Vesse at July Co Hotel l is a total crowd-pleaser and summer’s best friend. When the elusive sun casts its rays, the front wooden deck is converted into a summer beach, sans the sand. Sunbathers congregate and jump into the sea for refreshing dips. An outdoor terrace opens to the magnificent view of the Ij – liners, ships and boats glide elegantly through, and windmills spin gently to the wind. If you want proper seating indoor, head into the restaurant with the colossal grandiose chandeliers for a spellbound elegant dining experience. There’s a fireplace for the homey feeling and a beautiful bar. This is such an all-encompassing spot that ticks all boxes. Second review as we were back for Noah’s birthday – services is beyond terrible with more than an hour wait for mains. All the football watchers were served their drinks fast. Also, ridiculous that we had to pay 1.50 Euro per person to bring a birthday cake. That wasn’t quite an issue but we were literally dumped the box, with cutlery and plates to serve ourselves. Have some decency to light up the candles and bring the cake out. And set the plates and cutlery on the table. #eatstylishtravelstylish

We hosted an executive dinner for 75 guests and had a wonderful experience! The room was nicely decorated, the staff was superb, and the food and drinks were delicious. We will certainly return!

Hosted a surprise farewell party at Vessel and it was fantastic. Organizing everything with the venue went well and the staff on the day were super friendly and helped us maintain the surprise until we got to the room. The food was lovely too and we had such a nice time. The venue itself has a nice vibe.

The restaurant is very spacious and the terrace outside is large, with a great view on the water and (in summer) lots of sun. We initially came in just for a coffee. Eventually, we ended up staying for lunch, as we saw the food (and the well-sized portions) coming by, which looked good. We had salads that were fulfilling, only a bit pricy (the ceasar salad didn’t have a lot of chicken, for example). However, we will still come back, as the menu for dinner looked very promising as well and just the general vibe here was great. Also, the girls that were waitressing were super sweet.

The decor and aesthetic is beautiful, the restaurant design is truly remarkable but the food and service lack. The tomato Goat cheese lacked flavor and the 5 euro tap water was not a good feeling to pay for
