Bar & Kitchen De Zuid — Restaurant in Amsterdam

I used to love this place. But the food has been declining for years now. Speed, food quality, and pricing are a challenge.

Our server took over ten minutes to bring us menus, and another ten to bring over food. Had to get them multiple times just to get our kids fed. Other tables seated after us were served food before us which is a parent's worst nightmare with hungry kids.

Then, when our food came, it felt super lazy: fried chicken wasn't de-boned, my salad had the lettuce core left in, and although we wanted to order one of the menu items we couldn't.

We would have ordered three hamburgers together, but couldn't because they had to be ordered within a menu and for €29 each. There's an amazing burger restaurant a few blocks away, and for half the price we could have enjoyed what we wanted. Thirty euros for a burger and a grilled pineapple feels extortionate.

We were with 2 kids of 15 days and 2 years old! They did gave us the excuses... But.... What do...

Nice location and ambience. Expensive bites, served in an impersonal, surreal, chaotic way. For instance: they came back three times to say the drink we ordered wasn’t available, they took away the cutlery when they brought us some bites (we had to ask for them to have them back), they didn’t look at us or greeted when we left. While we were sitting, they put a cart on the table of a next dinner reservation without asking us anything (for instance if we’d like to have diner there). I think with more attention for the customer and some training of the personnel, it could be a...
