My go to place every time I come to Amsterdam; you know the quality is there every time in this Dutch chain. The Bali tenderloin is my favourite as it’s just slightly spicy and has a kick to it. Sweet potatoes fries and veggies as a side went well. If you don’t like mayo, make sure to tell them before as the fries come with a huge load. Bitterballen for starters for a classic Dutch specialty. Overall food is consistently great here. Service was ok, friendly staff but had to ask several times for more bread/drinks. Location of this particular restaurant is superb, perfect before/after taking the train; with a nice view on the large canal. I booked but I don’t think it was necessary.

After reading the reviews I was a bit worried about the service, but despite it being completely full The service was friendly and quick enough, sometimes we had to wait to get their attention but as I said: the whole restaurant was full. The food was amazing! I had the vegetarian option of the steak Bali and it was delicious!! My friends and husband had the regular steak and were also enjoying their food a lot! We will definitely go back!!

We booked weeks in advance to make sure we got a spot. Because it was so so busy, service was very very slow. Only one person on the front desk which was a cramped area and had people queuing out the door. Was frustrating because we had a reservation and people in front were being seated before us. Again slow service for drinks and food. Not enough staff checking in for drinks or clearing tables. The steak was incredible. Definitely a must visit. The vegan burger was unreal. The best burger of the trip. A little disappointed in the fries they were a little dry. If they had been better it would have been a perfect meal. Starter was a vegan crispy cauliflower and mayo sauce and fried chicken and chilli sauce. Was absolutely incredible. We left super full!

The steak with garlic sauce was amazing — super tender and full of flavor. I also tried the shrimp croquettes, which were perfectly crispy and really tasty. Drinks were on point too. Cute place, good vibe, and nice views. Service was a bit slow but definitely worth a visit.

We were having a lovely dinner, but our experience was completely ruined by the service. From the moment I walked into the restaurant, the waitress was rude. I sat for more than 10 minutes without being offered water or a menu, even though she walked past our table multiple times. When I finally requested a menu, she said, “Please relax,” and tossed it onto the table. After waiting another 20 minutes, she still had not taken our order. I had to stop her as she walked by to ask her to take it. When I asked a few questions about the menu to decide on a dish, she raised her voice and said, “You know it or you don’t.” I felt like I was in a jail, not a restaurant. When I asked for her name, she refused to tell me, so I had no choice but to take her photo to report the incident. Later, I saw her laughing and joking with another waitress, while the table next to us had to request their bill three times. Even though we are travelers to Holland, we still expect good service from a restaurant of this quality. This type of behavior is a terrible reflection of the establishment. I don’t believe I’m the only one who has experienced this, and I hope the restaurant takes action so the great food is not overshadowed by such poor service.
