Been in Amsterdam half a day and that was enough to find out the wait staff here tend to go at their own pace. So I wasnt really upset when the server who instructed me to sit and enjoy table service never came back to even show me a menu.
The girl at the to go counter was warm, friendly and apologetic when I finally had to walk up to place my order. The tall waiter (but arent they all tall in Holland) was so understanding and super helpful in fixing my order when I forgot to order it with gluten free bread. As a server myself, i have high standard in defining hospitality and these two made me feel truly welcome.
The food and ambience blow the US outlets out of the water! I had the gluten free brownie, it was crispy on the outside and A-Ma-Zing in taste, even tho it was dense in texture. The avocado toast with smoked salmon was the perfect healthy lunch option, which is hard to find in the immediate area.
Im so glad I decided to drop in after walking by it FOUR times and telling myself I dont want to eat at a joint that's available back home! read more
