Many Amsterdam restaurants are still being difficult about credit cards, which makes life rather difficult for tourists. So indeed good idea to check and get cash in advance if needed.--dutchgrub Good one, cpoticha.

I've been going here for over ten years, and it's still a top choice.One note, though: As far as I know they don't take reservations (that's part of the charm of an eetcafe). But as long as you're a small party, you can usually be seated within 20 minutes, even on the weekend. Just have a drink at the bar.Also good to know: They don't take credit cards. Just cash and PIN (debit cards from Dutch banks only). This always confounds foreign visitors, but it makes it easy for locals to treat their guests. Otherwise, let your guests know they should 'cash up' on the Rozengracht on their way. 40-50 euros per person should be more than enough.And the service is always friendly, though never over-the-top, which is typical Amsterdam. Again, a great example for your foreign guests of local culture. I've never had any serious problems with the service, in all these years. Longtime fan of this place.

Sorry to hear you had to experience bad service!

Was it just typical Amsterdam-style disinterested bad or really bad?
