Anna Church Amstelveen B.V. — Restaurant in Amstelveen

I love this beautiful church that has been transformed into a brewery. It is a gorgeous venue and often I got to hold ladies nights here with my friends. The Anna staff are always very accommodating and the service tends to be top notch every time I’ve visited. I am not a huge beer drinker so I can’t comment to the beers here on a level that some may expect… having said that I’ve tasted several and I can truly say with the wide variety here that there is something for everyone. If you are not a beer drinker of course they have other drinks to offer both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Food is offered here also and it does not disappoint. I believe the food menu changes for special events. For example, we went for their winter event and it was themed which was amazing. I also want to give a shout on the amount of fun themed events this place has and how they transform the inside of the church to meet each theme. Anyways I cannot say enough about how wonderful this place is. If you are local or visiting I...

The location has a real wow factor and the menu is varied, we had three sharing plates instead of the usual main meals. But what really impressed us was the service. After 12 years living in the Netherlands the abominable standard of service never ceases to amaze but this place was excellent! We were greeted at the entrance with a smile and ‘I’ll be back in a minute’ (one is usually just ignored till someone can be bothered to seat you), it was busy but we got an apology for waiting - wow! (‘sorry’ is rarely heard in NL), staff were friendly and efficient, noticed empty glasses and came back to take more orders … I wondered if they had been trained in Switzerland (as I was!). This will be my go-to place in future, I live nearby now and all my friends will now be taken there when we go out. It has something for everyone including children, a nice rack of books,maps and games too.

Such a pleasant change to actually get good service instead of feeling you are...

The Food was simply uneatable! The place is lovely decorated. Great beers. I ordered the fish of the day and my wife the eggplant lasagna. It came after 50 min. My fish came swimming in a poddle of a mess and water. There was bad taste to everything other than the fries. The eggplant lasagna came as two halfs of an eggplant with some tomato sauce and some cold parmesan on it. The eggplant was hard to the point of not being able to cut through it with a knife. The taste was simply awful. We almost didn't eat anything from our plates. The waitress was nice and asked why didn't we eat and we explained to her that it's simply not eatable and we were sooo hungry.. She took our full plates and came back with an offer of free tea or coffee as a compensation... we refused and told her that we are going to eat somewhere else since we are still hungry. Nothing seemed to bother them and we ended paying 24 euros for the fish and 18 euros for the eggplant lasagna. Really awful...
