The food and drinks were great however we left disappointed by the service and atmosphere. I hadn’t come across this type of experience anywhere else in Amsterdam. In retrospect I should have left after receiving such bizarre treatment but I really did want to give this place a try.
We walked in not knowing whether this place worked by reservation or walk-in only so I tried to get the attention of the waiter to ask however he seemed extremely busy so I tried waiting for the appropriate time to ask but after a few minutes it almost appeared as if he was trying to dodge us.
I was finally able to get an answer and we were able to seat ourselves outside. Approximately 15-20 minutes go by without receiving a menu or acknowledgement from the server (the same one I was trying to talk to earlier) all while he walked by serving the other patrons and even sitting down at the table next to us taking a couple of smoke breaks with his friends.

Read moreThe name says it all, De Nada- “You’re welcome.” Between the exceptional service, delicious food and drinks, and awesome music (seriously, I am always discovering great songs/artists here) you can’t help but appreciate it and say “Thank you.” This bar is exactly what this/every neighborhood needs. Everything is delicious. The pork belly skewers are a must have, even if you aren’t hungry they’ll put a smile on your face. I also love the vegetarian dishes, they are simple yet complex.
