Argentinos — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Went to this place right after getting of at Central station, Ordered a steak for myself, mixed veg platter for my mrs and mozzarella salad to start. With no sign of food i ordered some bread with some herb butter.

Mozarella salad came after 15 minutes which had no unique taste what so ever, seasoned with a green pesto from a jar (done the easy way) around 8€ for 6 thin slices of mozarella, some dehydrated lettuce, shaved carrot and some tomato.

The steak was average, the kind you could find in a cafe for €8/€10 max and hadn’t come with chips so you have to order a tiny portion for extra €4 totaling the price of a steak and chips of around €35:

not a very good value for money as you’d possibly pay same amount in a proper establishment, where the steak would actually deliver quality.

Next up is the mixed vegetable platter, consistent of 8 small cup mushrooms, some 5 slices of zuccini, some other few pieces of veg on 2 skewers (the veg tasted very bitter), a corn on the cob (which was the total wow factor of the platter) and an inedible jacket potato,(ingredient value of just under €2) and we paid €15 for a plate of misery and disappointment.

To top things up, the service we received was rude and very direct (“the waiter is always right”kind of service)

Being more specific:

We felt as minority with the staff hanging around, talking in different lanuages and simply just having a banter.

I asked for the salad to be served first, and received all dishes as soon as they were ready,

When i pointed out that i have asked for a salad to be served as a starter, the waiters reaction was very absurd and the “annoyed” type, slamming the two main dishes on the table anyway.

He even pointed out that he has wrote everything down correctly and it is my fault and I haven’t said anything about starters, it’s two against one, just admit your mistake, apologise and move on, but no.

I even had to ASK for bread, instead of being asked, bread with a salad? Who would of thought 💭 (surprise surprise)..

I could not believe the attitude displayed by some dark skinned server who made us feel like a total inconvenience.

Just to be clear he did apologise, but without any sincerity, sympathy or gratitude, probably oping for a tip.

PATHETIC.

We asked for the check and needless to say we havent enjoyed our experience and guest what, actually NOBODY CARED.

The waiter kept asking for payment, rushing me to take my money out without even reading the bill!?!?!?

We’ve paid the check and went far away from...

Uncomfortable Atmosphere and Mediocre Food

My partner and I recently visited this Argentinian restaurant, and while the prices were reasonable, the overall experience was far from enjoyable due to the staff’s behavior.

From the moment we arrived, we felt uncomfortable. The staff repeatedly stared at us, to the point where it felt like they were sizing us up. Before our food arrived, one staff member stood right behind my chair with his hand on it, listening in on our private conversation, which was incredibly intrusive. To make matters worse, while we were eating, I was bizarrely told to switch to another seat for no apparent reason, further disrupting the experience.

When it came to the food, the ribs were overly sweet and sickly, and the salad looked nothing like the menu photos. While it did fill me up for the evening, the quality left much to be desired.

The final interaction was the most off-putting. When the bill arrived, the older waiter made a point of highlighting the tip section and seemed displeased when I chose not to add one. He sulked, walked away without thanking us, and didn’t even say goodbye.

This restaurant has potential with its fair pricing and ambiance, but the staff’s attitude and the food quality need serious improvement to make it a place worth...

You really need to be extremely unlucky to end up in this place out of all eateries available in Amsterdam.

As soon as i sat down i noticed a fellow restaurant goer... an asian girl who got off the table screaming at the sight of a mouse going through her feet.

My experience

Ordered a salmon, which ended up being small, pricey and dry.

Ordered grilled vegetables and ended up with a huge boiled corn on a cob on a plate which frankly scared me... I was under the impression that the cook was feeding the animals rather than the customers.

Ordered a carafe of house wine which - at the cost of 18€ turned out quite sour and was nowhere close to any Argentinian Malbec ive ever tried.

The waiter attempted to collect the dishes 2 times while I was still eating which resulted in me getting equally rude and basically having to tell him off and allow me to finish my food before removing the plate.

Price for salmon grilled veggies and house wine 50€. I honestly think i could have done better. This was an unpleasant experience to the point where i seriously considered getting high out of my mind to forget it all.

Avoid this place like the bubonic plague... for i really think it never left it since the...
