Rayleigh & Ramsay Westerpark — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Unpleasant experience, as the owner told us to get out and did not serve what we ordered, because we did not order drinks.

It was on Saturday when me and my friends came to this place, to eat oysters. On Saturdays, they have a promotion - each oyster costs 1 euros, with limit of 6 per person. We ordered 10 oysters in total, owner asked me to pay before even served. Then, he came up to us and asked “What would you like to drink” to which I answered “Thank you, just tap water”. After hearing this, he got aggressive, told us to get out, signed the kitchen to stop preparing our 10 oysters.

They do not have any requirement to order drinks with oysters written anywhere. He also never told me that if we order oysters then we have to get drinks.

I came here before, everything was great and nobody said anything to me when I ordered oysters only. I told them about it, he said “we hate people like you”.

What if I am a minor and want to eat oysters, and I cannot order any alcohol? What if I just want oysters? Why can’t the owner peacefully and respectfully explain that it is mandatory to order drinks, besides oysters? We would have done it, if he explained it nicely.

Could have made it as a requirement that ordering a drink is mandatory, or explained it nicely, rather than disrespecting and kicking out...

The owner was rude to my friends partner we all ordered oysters and wine and he came later and only ordered oysters then the owner came out and said you know you have to order a drink right you cant just order oysters eventhough we had a drink card between us. Her partner soon left and refused to spend money after that rude comment. However, we stayed for a while bought food after too and topped up more wine and paid. Then he tried to charge us extra for the oysters her partner ordered.I honestly think he was discriminating him as he is not the typical white dutch yuppie that comes here, and just assumed he wouldnt...

Oysters are €1 on Saturdays, which is the reason why we went there. The concept is great: you get a card with an chosen amount and then you can use that to taste +100 wines! You can chose between different amount of milliliters.

We tried the food too and I would recommend the ceviche of swordfish. The gambakroketten and steak were fine. The patatas bravas missed in my opinion the typical Spanish red sauce, but the aoli was tasty.

Service was quick and friendly and it was no issue to...
