Café Koosje — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Bizarre and terrible service. I placed an order for food tonight at 10:40pm, ordering from a waitress who assented and brought our drinks first. When an hour later hadn’t received the food yet (2 snack items) I went up to ask how much longer it would be (now it was 11:45pm. The waitress who had originally taken the order asked me what I had ordered. When I reminded her what 2 dishes I had asked for initially she just said I’m sorry there is no one in our kitchen anymore, offered no explanation as to why the order had not been prepared when there WERE kitchen staff around and the order was supposedly accepted, nor did she offer any compensation or gesture for the wasted time and total lack of communication. I paid my check but at this point (11:50) all other comparable kitchens are closed. Pretty much ruined the night....

I have been here twice now. Once during the weekend with one other friend and once during the week on a night out with colleagues. Both times, I found the staff (different people at each of these occasions) extremely unfriendly.

The first time, me and my friend had to wait about 30 minutes before anyone even noticed us, even though they were serving guests at other tables around us.

Second time, me and my colleagues slightly rearranged the tables for us to all fit around the them when the first thing one of the waiters said upon seeing us was: “Next time, you ask us first!!!!”. No friendly welcome.. after one hour they came to check if we wanted another round of drinks, which we didn’t, to which the waiter responded in a super arrogant way as well.

You’re way better off at Eik & Linde, on the opposite side...

Worst breakfast experience ever. If you’re looking for a place to start your day on the right note, this should be your last choice. While the food was acceptable, the service was absolutely terrible. The staff was rude and unprofessional. They would approach the table abruptly and ask, “What do you want?” in a curt manner. If you asked for a moment to decide, they would roll their eyes or walk off with an annoyed expression.

In my case, the main issue was a dispute over a missing tea. When I pointed it out, the waiter rudely replied, ‘I don’t think you ordered that with me,’ instead of resolving the issue politely. Overall, a very disappointing experience."

My suggestion, go to the...
