    Bife Chorizo - Entrecôte
    Michelle F.

    Service was wonderful. We loved that we were seated in the outside area for dinner. It was like eating in a cozy backyard garden. We started with an order of the Choriempa Empanadas. A crispy rolled dough stuffed with a sausage type meat. Great dipped in the chimichuri sauce. We ordered the smallest portion size of the Lechon and it was clearly enough for 2-4 people if you share appetizers. We also ordered the Bife Chorizo - Entrecôte. That was ordered medium rare and it was very tender, juicy, and delicious. Definitely the star of the show. The Verduras Mezcladas -Mixed vegetables seasoned with red chimichurri was surprisingly full of fresh garden vegetables in a salsa type sauce with a nice spicy kick. Great accompaniment to any entree. I have eaten here on every visit to Amsterdam because everything has always been perfect.

    So lucky to get a reservation in last minute! I was greeted by a lovely girl who put us on to their best dishes. I had a filet mignon -medium rare with a salad and mixed seasoned veggies. The veggies were gone fast They were so well seasoned and had a sauce that was to die for. The octopus (Kraken) had luscious flavor and good texture to it. I ordered a pitcher of sangria and being that I love wine of all types, this was the best sangria I've ever had. The ambience of the place was so relaxing. Candlelit dinner with a beautiful red rose sat so elegantly in the tables. We were the only ones there for a good hour before guests started making their way through. Price is good and service was excellent.

    Great food

    What a nice birthday dinner! Sabatian was a fantastic waiter. The grilled octopus was the BEST I've ever had! The steaks were all very tender! I'll definitely come back!

    They have a cute outdoor patio you can sit in but I'd recommend sitting inside. It's much larger than you'd expect. The drinks are delicious. Food wise I'd stick to steak. That's what they are known for. I tried their poor dish which wasn't bad but it was not my favorite.

    Went here for a steak dinner. The food was excellent and portion size was good. If you are getting a starter choose the cheese sticks!!! - amazing Service was a little slow and we got seated by a greeter at door and didn't get given menus or drinks for another 30 minutes. When we ordered our drinks they forgot our 2nd beer and water so only brought us out 1 drink. Ambiance was very nice - candle lit tables inside and a beautiful outdoor area if you wanted to sit outside. There was an issue with our order and we received a second lot of our starter when we didn't order them which made our mains take a while to come out. However, the wait was worth it as the steaks were delicious. One downside is they don't serve potato fries they serve "healthy" fries which were very crunchy and didn't quite hit the same.

    Came here based on a recommendation from our hotel and all of the good reviews - make sure to book reservations in advance. Here's what we ordered: - Empanadas (very good) - Quesailla (okay) - Tequeños (okay) - Elote (good) -Lechón (pig) (okay, ordered too large a serving - Kraken (octopus) (good) - Arroz de Campo (rice with chorizo, raisins and beans) (okay) Service here was excellent, our server and everyone else we encountered went out of their way which was appreciated. Would give it another try and opt for some red meat dishes next time (in lieu of the pork and octopus).

    We stumbled across this restaurant from a recommendation from a local. His recommendation was spot on great! Salmuera is an Argentinian based restaurant with a Netherlands twist. There is a whole variety of ceviches, empanadas and various other small plates. Everything our group ordered was delicious. The fried cauliflower was my personal favorite and it was coated in a teriyaki base marinade/batter. My cocktail was spot on what I ordered and wanted--the restaurant has a vast menu of craft cocktails, so there is something for everyone. I will definitely recommend Salmuera to travelers in Amsterdam and I'll go back when I visit again. Might I add that the vibe and decor is very cute and can see it being a great date night spot as well. Also, Simone was our waitress and she was very pleasant and friendly! She have solid recs from the menu!

    Food was outstanding! Service was impeccable! All served up in an excellent environment. We were celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary. Candlelight made it extra special. Do not pass on the cauliflower. So good!!

    We came here with an Argentinian co-worker who knows his beef. Got to pick a cut of beef to be prepared for the table, and enjoyed it a lot. Excellent place, and staff. Do not hesitate to ask questions.

    The reviews led me astray on this one. I thought I saw vegan or vegetarian options on the menu but they all ended up being bite-size appetizers. I'm grateful they had something but nothing makes me more bummed than having to order appetizers for dinner, I want a meal! The finger cheese quesadilla was good and the patatas were also very good.(I did leave hungry though but that just meant more room for treats as we explored the city!) It was very busy and we didn't have reservations but the host sat us very quickly regardless. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food, ceviche and chicken wings were ordered, they loved them. The prices were reasonable and the service was good for being a busy night.

    This restaurant is excellent. The servers are knowledgeable and friendly. The food is amazing (I recommend the rib eye) and they have a LOT of bar menu choices. The prices are great for the quality. All round awesome!!!

    Argentinian steakhouse in Amsterdam done really well! Who would have thought that?…read more The meats are super tender, super fresh, and super delicious. The soup and sausages I had as a side are also very good. One thing I can appreciate is that the staff knows what they are talking about. Take their suggestions and never look back, even if the bill gets up there in price. You will thank me later.

    I will start with this...we only stopped in for one drink and a tiramasu. It was near closing, but…read morethey welcomed us into the place. I ordered a Jack and water. I watched the guy pull the Jack bottle from the shelf and pour the drink. One jigger. 3/4 full. If you're gonna use a jigger and charge me full price, pour to the top. But I digress. That wasn't the issue. I am a whiskey/bourbon drinker. I know my whiskeys, bourbons and the family. This was ABSOULTELY scotch. In Amsterdam, the Jack, the Jim Beam, Makers, and Bullet are far more expensive because they are imported. This was definitely scotch in a Jack bottle. No Doubt. none. Zero. My wife's drink was also a less than full jigger. So we paid full price for two terrible drinks and a Tiramasu that was once frozen but had been defrosted. Snarky service, bad drinks, supermarket dessert. I'm not a complainer, and I didn't complain. Perhaps I should have. But overall, if you check out my Yelp profile, I love to praise service, food and ambiance, but this place sucked away my will to live. Avoid it.

Honestly he had us at hello after smelling and seeing the dishes being served to other guests. My bf and I started with the grilled calamari and tomato salad. The calamari was tender and melted in your mouth like butter. The tomatoes were fresh and tasty. I had the lamb chops and my bf had the ribeye. Both were cooked to perfection. The chimichurri was the best I ever had. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Seriously, does nobody just decide they are going somewhere? With live music being played with a guitar and some drums...it really helped set the scene. A special was 50 Euro for 2 people and you get two appetizers (Carpaccio or Shrimp), two entrees (Steak or Fish) and an entire bottle of wine (you pick red or white). The apps were very good (we had one of each), the steak was good, and the wine was also good. The value was great and really couldn't be beat. The service was very nice as well. We sat close to the kitchen and watched everything just go smoothly. The chef seemed to like what he was doing and the servers seemed happy as well. That may seem like a little thing, but it really adds to the experience. I can't say we will seek out this restaurant again, but if you are in the area and need a spot to eat, this is pretty decent!
