SAAM restaurant — Restaurant in Amstelveen

After a long day of work, we decided to go out. I found this gem scrolling through the list and decided to make a reservation. It was easy to make a reservation and after a long hard day, not having to choose what to eat was ideal.

Arriving at the restaurant, we were greeted by the friendly staff members who took our coats and stored them safely and proceeded to show us to our table. We were already impressed with the cleanliness and attention to the details to create an amazing dining experience.

It was by far, the best experience I’ve had thus far from the entering the door, and even the following day having a rusk with coffee in the morning.

The taste of the food was absolutely phenomenal. Each dish was extremely well thought out and the flavour combinations were out of this world and with each dish being unique in its own way but also intertwining with the other courses creating a flow of amazing experience of delightful taste sensations.

To say that I recommend it is a vast understatement. It is definitely a place I would visit again and would recommend to everyone for an amazing experience.

There are always a few points of improvement:

I found the younger staff more “rushed” when explaining the dish. Relaxing is part of the experience and if you feel stressed and rushed, so do I, slow down a bit.

It was quite load where we were seated and felt a bit cramped up between two other couples. A bit more space would be appreciated to add to the experience.

Overall,...

Yesterday, I visited Saam for the first time. I had already heard from friends that the food there is amazing, and I was eager to try it for myself. So, yesterday, I had a wonderful meal there with a friend. I specifically chose this restaurant to celebrate her birthday. I had emailed and spoken with the staff beforehand about how they could surprise her for her special day.

They went above and beyond, surprising her in such a sweet way. Not only did they bring out a candle and a dessert, but they also gave her a handwritten card and even sang a song with her name in it! We were truly impressed. No restaurant has ever done as much as Saam did.

In addition, we opted for the set menu, and the food was absolutely delicious. Not to mention, the staff were incredibly warm, helpful, and kind. This place is truly a gem in the Ouderkerk/Amstelveen area.

We will definitely be coming back soon! I want to extend my deepest thanks to the entire team for an unforgettable evening. Thank you so...

Been to SAAM a few times and again food very good. My thoughts this time is that we were not given the option between the set menu or ala carte (or maybe I missed this). Personally I always prefer ala carte, but ok was still good. Sadly the SA white wine we ordered which was exceptional, was the last bottle. For this calibre restaurant I would expect to be informed upfront that this is the last bottle or take it off the menu until stock is replenished. Not a massive complaint but a note that I find annoying when ordering a wine and thoroughly enjoying it and looking forward to another bottler (there were 6 of us) then its disappointing to be told there is no more. At approx E180 pp its a special...
