Since we came pretty late, none of the appetizers were available and only steaks. Which was fine for me, since I didn't want to waste any valuable calories on anything but steak. Ordered a massive Côte de Beouf (800 grams or 28 ounces) and some Grilled Vegetables on the side. This was an extremely well-cooked steak! European medium rare borders closer to rare than medium, which is fine for me as long as the steak is cooked well. Quite tasty! Service was fine, no complaints from me. Honestly can't believe I've never been to De Nachtwacht before. Definitely need to come back.

Not wanting to walk, we went to the closest place, and the closest place was thankfully Black and Blue. Just get the steak. No questions. Whatever you're ordering, get steak. Vegan? They have a vegan steak. Someone next to us got it and they liked it. We got a steak steak and sometimes, late at night, I think about that steak. I think when cows die, they hope they become a steak at this place. Do not order eggplant of any kind. It was not good. We did not touch it. We just wished we had 5 more steaks between the two of us. Order the steak. Thank you.

Had to remind him that everyone at the table had ordered one. We ordered a dip-able starter and some expensive bread. The starter came out but no bread. After we had finished the starter, the bread finally came out. A little sad. Dinner took forever to come out but it was great. Ordered the filet, medium rare. When it came out it was good., although it only had a drizzle of sauce. It was odd that the gave us one basket of fries for three people. We had to get another one immediately. I doubt we'll be back.

Four people ended up not being able to make it, and our party of 10 was seated together. The server was quite friendly and took drink orders immediately upon us being seated. He put those in while we looked at the menu. He answered questions about the menu and offered to refill our drinks. The spare ribs were excellent. The meat fell off the bone. The roasted vegetables were a nice mix and seasoned well. We were offered dessert when everyone was finished with dinner. We were well attended to without feeling rushed.

Not knowing this was required, we were initially pleased that he agreed to accommodate our party of three. Then, things changed once we were seated. As we were looking over the menu to decide what to eat, I started coughing due to a "throat tickle." When I took a sip of water from the bottle I had been carrying with me, a different employee told me that I couldn't drink from my water bottle in the restaurant. When I explained why, he continued to make his point. A waitress came to take our food order, but seemed unhappy with our choices. Noticing this, when she returned to take our beverage order, we decided on only water instead of the wine we had originally planned to order. Throughout the rest of our time at Castell, my friend noticed that this waitress repeatedly gave me looks of disapproval. The food was the only good part of our experience, and I would give it alone 5 stars. There is a traditional fire grill on which the meats are prepared. The filet mignon and lamb chops were perfectly seasoned and delicious! Unfortunately, the rest of the experience was uncomfortable and unpleasant. Our waitress gave me an annoyed look when I requested the check. My friend and I split the payment. As she was paying, the waitress mentioned the "skip the tip" option, so my friend obliged her. I went ahead and paid a tip as I felt her problem was more about her than me. Despite the authenticity and quality of the menu selections, I cannot recommend Castell based on how we were treated.

We ordered the 900g sampler, and it was fantastic. The meat was juicy, perfectly grilled, and gave us a great taste of multiple cuts, making it ideal for sharing and trying a little bit of everything. Each piece was flavorful and cooked just right--exactly what you want from a steakhouse experience. The burger was spot-on, especially for the kids--simple, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. Pair everything with the crispy fries and classic sides, and it made for a very satisfying meal. Great food, welcoming service, and flexible seating even without a reservation. If you're in Amsterdam and craving a solid steakhouse with options for both adults and kids, CAU is a great choice. Would definitely return
