Restaurant In ’t Vierde Baarsje — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Terrible restaurant. They looked at us up and down and saw the luggage bag. And declined us saying “all the seats are full”

I felt it quite racistic. Or at least a discrimination.

They checked us out and told all the seats were full explaining “Sometimes people from the bar side will eat in the table.” I could see there were only 2 tables with people and no other tables were with reserved sign.

Maybe it has good food, but their attitude is terrible.

——————————————- I read your comment. It’s a surprise to hear that you “kindly reserved the all the several empty tables” for the people who’s drinking in the downstairs. I don’t think people usually drink first and have dinner, and I’ve never seen any restaurant that’s reserving several spots including bar side and the restaurant for people who’s drinking downstairs. Normally in the restaurant they ask you “Do you want to sit in the bar side, or the table side” not “We will reserve both bar and the table side that no other customers can be here”

I truly don’t get this kind of discrimination. Be honest, instead of making up bad excuses ————————————- Because you are changing your reply, I’m leaving the second reply.

You have tables for around 10spots on the upside. And for the downstairs, you have around 5 tables and some seats for the bar sides. It is possible that around 4-5 teams from the bar side reserved the whole 10 spots on the upper and down side or more people were supposed to come, but how your server approached explained was not with good explanation, I rather felt like I got kicked out. And it was rude enough to make this serious complaint.

Instead of making it as a fault of a customer’s for not knowing your restaurant’s culture since they never visited your restaurant, when you get a complaint, why don’t you try to make it better or say sorry instead of continuously...

Six of us had lunch here, starting with a drink outside and having lunch inside. Time was no problem. In the end we stayed nearly four hours. We had the absolutely exciting Tournedous (2 persons). Everything as it should be. Made at the table with a fantastic handmade saus. Excellent taste, smooth and red as ordered. The other four had a traditional Tongue. As it used to be: real big (we were advised to share one with two persons, and rightfully so). Exquisite butter saus and just soooo good. The wine they recommended, fitted very well. Then of course the desserts. All very classic ones. The ones we had were very good, not too sweet and with a good taste of the fruit or chocolat that was supposed to be in it. Amazing, it still exist: a place with just good uncomplicated excellent food and a very friendly excellent service and atmosphere. Dutch kitchen...

After reading the ‘hidden gem’ reviews, I could not resist booking a reservation, the reviews were spot on! If you are looking for good food, hospitality and a ‘gezellig’ evening, look no further!

We started with drinks at the lounge downstairs and had an amazing 4 course meal.

On top of what we ordered (oysters, onion soup, chateaubriand stroganoff and dessert), we were served amazing sides which included quail eggs, house made cucumber salad, crab salad, green salad, fresh butter/bread, sautéed spinach, roasted potatoes and fries all came alongside the meal.

Great wine recommendations, palate cleansers and great atmosphere gave us a wonderful night out. Will recommend to friends, family and...
