A nice place to take kids in the afternoon. However, the dinner menu is limited and not good quality. Spare ribs were dry, fries were soggy, etc. It's a shame!
Atmosphere and service decent.
The food though. Amsterdam is expensive and that’s fine. But this place is like getting robbed on the sidewalk.
If you come for the nice looking pancakes, knock yourself out. I wanted a sandwich.
“Chicken, onion compote, french cheese”
I got cubes of dry chicken. Barely spiced, just orange looking. DRY. Served on a Lidl Kaiserbread. With Lidl honey mustard sauce and cheap lettuce. Parmesan cheese.
SEVENTEEN (€17) EURO.
Absolutely unacceptable. I feel completely insulted. Shocked.
The first night we were in Amsterdam, we stopped in here on a whim because we were looking for something close to our hotel after a long day of traveling. Daphne and Terrance were amazing and the food, drinks and atmosphere were so good we at least stopped in for a drink every night we were in Amsterdam. It seems like a heavily visited local watering hole; it was pretty busy every night, but they make time to get around to all the tables. If you are staying at the InnSide hotel at Zuidplein, or just in the area, you should make a stop over, it will be worth your while. Whenever we return to Amsterdam, I'm sure we will find our way down there again.
I don't get this place. I've been here two times and every time I didn't feel Welcomed (neither did my friends). They seemingly have a philosophy but it doesn't actually involves you as a guest. I don't remember when is the last time I heard so many no's from a restaurant.
Can the food be a bit slower? No, the kitchen has schedule.
Can we get some snacks or extra dessert with coffee? No, this is all we have.
If we really don't like the wine, can we exchange it? No, that's not possible.
Can we pay at the table? No, you have to come to the cash register.
Did they forget this is a service industry?
I appreciate having a concept but you have to bring your guests along.
Soms of the staff (wine person) is enthusiastic about what they do but overall, I have no desire to visit them a third time. A guest should feel Welcomed when they visit your restaurant and not feel like they are accommodating the rules of the pretentious management.
This btw has nothing to do with the food, which was good, although they didn't skip to mention they are accommodating our veggie option (although it was available upon booking) as well as repeatedly serving our dishes as a double portion plus 1 (we were with 3 people), although we didn't necessarily wanted to share it that way.
I left feeling like I left my money to a place that couldn't care less about my experience and that is not what a restaurant should be.
The food was exceptionally well prepared and presented. The work place was very clean, with tables set.
The dessert was special; try it yourself.
Highly recommended.
I have 40 years of experience in the hospitality industry.
I ate here for my birthday.
First of all, the staff was friendly and cheerful, the decor was warm and inviting, and the aromas from the kitchen were pleasant and inviting.
Upon receiving the food, we were enthusiastic, and the presentation was beautiful.
Both cuts of meat, combined with the pepper sauce and gravy, plus the winter vegetables and fries, were delicious and very flavorful.
The steak tartare, however, was a huge disappointment: grayish meat, no sauces, very coarsely cut, and a subpar taste experience.
When I reported this problem, no solution was offered. I think the cola that was removed from the bill was a nice gesture, but it's not in line with the price charged for the tartare. This way, you don't get a tip, and you end up shooting yourself in the foot.
The fact that it was my birthday was also ignored.
All in all, there are areas for improvement, and I hope you will handle this better in the future.
I had a nice dinner at Restaurant Rouhi - the buns were definitely my favorite, and that miso soup was a total surprise in a good way. But man, the service was kinda crap. Felt like it was run by a bunch of kids with zero hospitality experience. It's December, I'm freezing my mittens off, so I ask for hot water. The waitress straight-up laughs at me and then judges me for it, like "Why no ice? Everyone wants ice!" Uh, really? That's no way to treat customers.
The vibe was all wrong too - felt like I was eating in a shopping mall with those super bright lights. Not cozy at all.
They're closing in a few weeks, so fingers crossed they hire some nicer staff when they reopen.
Normal place, nothing special... unpleasant smell inside. Terrible staff, rude and without a shred of humanity. Having someone with us who wasn't feeling well, they made us leave!!!! Because it gave a bad image of the place!!! There are no words x xx
bubble tea was really good quality for the price! lots of fruit slices and real pomegranate. owner was sweet and accommodating, and the restaurant was very pretty. hopefully next time I'll get more tapioca! highly recommend :)
