Amsterdam Brewhouse & Restaurant

We waited for about an hour for our food and it arrived cold, was also overpriced. not enough servers, took too long to take our orders and bills at the end ~ overall bad experience.

Food was ok, but service was terrible.
Had at least four different waiters throughout the evening and all of them seemed like they could care less about anything related to their job.
One waiter was scratching his stomach under his shirt while listening to us order exposing his bare stomach!? Another was telling us how hungover he was.
Food kept coming that we hadn’t ordered and the wait staff seemed to be in total chaos.
Had to ask repeatedly to order drinks etc. and a few mix ups with the bill.
Nice view but thats about it.

I was disappointed that I reserved a table upstairs and when I arrived was told that this could not be accommodated. We ended up with a table downstairs near the side patio door.
The food was fine, 4 out of our table of 6 enjoyed their meal. Vegetables with the schnitzel were bitter tasting. Sangria had way too much ice and after a few minutes was watered down most likely because it was a very warm evening. Location of restaurant was perfect and the view of the waterfront was beautiful. Music was a bit loud. With the restaurant so busy, huge crown we were unable to hear conversations at our table unless it was the person next to you.
I will return but doubtful it will be on a Saturday night.

Great food, great place. But the waitstaff is the most incompetent I've ever seen.

Spending a night in the city with my sister

Father’s Day brunch was amazing! Has an awesome seat looking at the water and our server was so great with recommendations! Would definitely go back. Everyone loved it. Would definitely recommend the beer flights and the brisket! Ribs were amazing also

It has a nice view but the food is not special. A place just for a drink, it does not worth it for lunch nor dinner.

Wicked ciew

Amazing experience, great and friendly staff. Will be back time and time again

Great beer. Nice ambience. Perfect Service Great Location

It was okay, not great, one friend has a dairy allergy and there was not much for him to eat.

The Raptors were playing so it was busy and noisy. Our waiter was fine but a little slow with requests we made. The food was ok. i substituted Caesar salad for fries. I felt the salad portion was small. Plus the croutons were 2 large toast crackers that practically covered the bowl.
Someone is really monitoring the food cost with this small portion.

It was great experience and nice ambiance!!!

Great place to eat, good food, advise booking as gets very busy

Food and beer was delicious, service was extremely poor, never had such unfriendly and low motivated waiter

Fun atmosphere. Very busy had to wait for mains but when arrived was excellent. Great staff.

Didn't have a great meal this time. It was the first time the food was disappointing. The food mostly arrived to our table cold. Our friend's veggie burger was stone cold. The second wasn't much better. My brisket was also barely warm. The place was busy, I get it but this is just table stakes for a decent restaurant.

Not for watching a game, screens are very small, the place is not well equipped to enjoy games. Was there watching raptors game.

Go back time & time again. Superior service, great food & beer & location is amazing!

I ordered the fish and chips, it was way too oily, couldn’t even finish it. Plus the fries tasted horrible.

Great location on the water, food was better than I was expecting. The buffalo cauliflower was amazing. It's very loud in there if you are expecting to have much of a conversation, but great place to grab a good meal.

Apps and beers are the only thing worth ordering... mains were horrible: Food took 30 min to come, fish and chips batter was THICK, not crispy, turkey sandwich portion ridiculously small, and brikey sandwich was oily and so ugly that you thought it was a squished mcdonald’s burger...

Service was great! Fun atmosphere.

A group of friends and I visited Amsterdam Brewhouse for an early birthday get together. We made a reservation in advance, but upon arriving opted for the patio. There seemed to be a lot of confusion at the patio host stand about projected wait times, whether there were tables available, what the process was for seating us when we had a reservation inside, etc. Everyone we spoke to seemed to direct us to go somewhere else, so we went inside and back outside a couple of times before we had a clear idea what was going on.

We were seated within several minutes after our group pointed out a table that was open (after being told it would be an hour wait and 0 tables available), so fortunately we weren't waiting long. It took awhile for our server to greet us, but she was friendly and took the time to get our initial orders. A few beer selections were unavailable, which we were notified of after about 10 minutes when the other guests' drinks were dropped off. Service was particularly slow after we placed our drink orders. It took awhile for us to get our server back to place food orders, and trying to get another round of drinks was another lengthy wait, or one person would be asked for their order and our server would leave before getting the rest of the guests' orders, so we weren't all receiving rounds of drinks at the same time. We all happen to work in the service industry as well and were forgiving of a lot of the missteps, but it was definitely a bit off-putting since we normally really enjoy coming to the restaurant.

We likely would have stayed longer if there was more consistency in the service (and if those few beers we were hoping to enjoy were available -- seemed bizarre that at 2:30PM on a Friday, at least 3 beers were already out of stock. The last few times I've visited, the KLB Raspberry Wheat has been 86ed). Would still recommend Amsterdam to others, but this visit unfortunately missed the mark for us.

Very good for food but sadly no tours were being done the day I went :(

We will be returning in the near future.

Not sure if it’s because I booked on OpenTable. But all reservations were ignored because they had booked a separate private party. Had to wait in line. Had to sit outside. They said it was going to rain so we should hurry up because they couldn’t move us inside.

Food and service was ok but would probably not go back again

It’s great meals but I didn’t know that spicy on lemon chicken and I didn’t see any spicy on menu. I am surprised that menu changed than past. Menu was better than now menu because more options. Overall are good.

Describe outstanding dishes, beverages or service experiences.

The waitress took a very long time to to bring our last drinks and did not check in at all during our meal. Other than that everything was great

Great restaurant/ Bar. The service was great. Definitely recommend

Great place and lots of great food and beverage options. Staff were fun and engaging. We Enjoyed the fact it was Canada music week. The performance was VERY loud. Speaker right on top of us. We finished dinner and bailed during performance as we couldn’t chat at all.

Great music...Madison Olds....the booth type benches made it hard to see the stage and were uncomfortable but great venue....great service...very accommodating....food was good.

Fun atmosphere. Food and drinks took awhile to arrive. Warm food. Dave was an energetic and friendly server.

Everything was great but we arrived early end they forgot to confirm that we got there. Our reservation was for 13h and we got there 12:30.

Although the food was good the service was terrible. The drinks took forever and the meals even longer. The pizzas arrived 10 minutes before my wife’s chicken did. The waiter seemed to be totally stressed and kept blaming the kitchen. We talked to a manager and expressed our concerns. I thought they would have credited at least something but nothing was done.

It will be a while before I go back.

Food was really incredible and definitely awesome value- the brisket is UNREAL.
Our server was good at checking back in with us to make sure we had everything but she almost seemed to be annoyed that she was training someone. Other then that I will definitely be back!

The atmosphere and the food were great. The staff was helpful. Will definitely come back again.

Great pre-Jays game dinner spot. Enjoyed spinach dip with garlic knots which were a great change over usual boring nacho chips. Mains if brisket burger and fish tacos. Both very good, great presentation and good portion sizes. Sat on upper level table for 2. Tried a few beers and all were good. Definitely plan to return.
