Van 't Spit — Restaurant in Amsterdam

We came in for an early dinner and the restaurant was empty aside from a family of four sitting outside. We were directed to sit anywhere, since the inside air was thick with the charcol, we opted for one of the outside tables. Food was delivered promptly, we had side salad with a tasty house dressing and chicken. Chicken was tasty, though a bit dry. From the reviews, I was expecting more. We were rushing through since the wasps were relentless, when a party of young couples came in. Although, only one other table came in during our meal the party seemed to struggle with where to sit. Next thing we know a server comes out to inform us they had all other tables reserved, and we'd need to share our table. Then in a super snarky way, let us know that in Amsterdam they share tables, even if "where we come from, they don't" Really? Then why aren't you sharing all those empty tables that now have reserved signs on them? So this party essentially took over our table, moving all our stuff and encroaching deeply on our space, turning their chairs so their backs were up against us, and we were pushing against the brick wall. Talking loudly, and certainly not to us. While we understand the current international feelings towards Americans is iffy, we're really really friendly and would have welcomed conversation. This wasn't about sharing a table, this was about taking our table despite being customers too. So beware, if you're traveling, the sentiment here is perhaps not so friendly towards foreign tourists. We didn't experience this anywhere else...

I arrived there with my girlfriend and i waited in the line for a waiter to pass by and help me. There was only one family ahead. When suddenly one person starts to pass ahead because he went inside to “check in”. I ask politely to take in consideration that i was there first and I didn’t know because the waiter were just passing by ignoring everyone that were outside. Which shows the terrible work. If you have a restaurant you will receive the new guests and provide instructions ASAP. After this i talked to the waitress and this was the shocking part, she starts flipping her eyes to me!!! Flipping the eyes for a client!!! Shocking right? The girl was wearing a green bandana. Most rude waitress i ever saw. We even had clients offering their table for us to sit with them. Clients doing what should be the job of the waitress. So if you want chicken go to franggo instead or try the pizza in front pazzi, you will get way better service...

I’m writing this review on the 54th minute of waiting for my order yes, it’s been 54 minutes since I ordered, and now I’ve just found out it’ll take a minimum of 45 to 50 minutes. And when we asked, they told us that 45–50 minutes is normal… Is this a joke? It’s my first time here. I already thought the place was overrated, but decided to give it a try. There are only 22 tables in total (inside and outside combined), yet there are just two people working in the open kitchen. There are also around 6 or 7 Uber orders waiting to be prepared. Honestly, by the time I finally get my food after waiting a whole hourit will have lost all meaning or enjoyment for me.

After take the foods Everything we ate was delicious we really enjoyed it. The chicken was a bit salty...
