   Went for dinner and the hockey game. Great crowd, awesome service by Mark, but the menu could include a few non-deep fried items…. And the burgers were “well done”…. Crispy edges “well done”. Not quite the way you serve a burger that wasn’t requested as very very well done.

   I am a frequent diner and usually totally enjoy Amsterdam but last night my partner and I ate and ran. It was not the restaurant’s fault although it might be something they could prevent. Ok we had the choice patio table for two in the corner by the fountain. There was a big empty table across from us and a couple of men at a big table but far from us. At a table far from us by the door we’re two couples who totally enjoyed their evening - because their three children spent literally the whole hour right beside us playing in the fountain climbing behind it on the rocks near the drive ( I was worried- one was a very young boy) throwing rocks and of course making noise. They came right over the ear of my partner to take a rock! One man - who was sitting with his back to the kids- got up walked over and spoke to the kids but obviously not to seat them as he just left them. The other three parents were facing them but far away where they couldn’t hear them but could obviously see they were disturbing us. Maybe it’s no longer considered a parenting role to teach your kids how to conduct themselves in a restaurant. I could understand a parent accompanying the kids to the fountain so they could get a closer look but this was ridiculous. And it was dangerous. Maybe I should have said something to our waiter but he was doing his job and it would have put him in an awkward position. Maybe I should have asked the kids to go sit or asked if those were the parents and could they sit with their children but I did not go out to have confrontation. So we literally ordered ate and paid in less than an hour- so much for my nice relaxing meal

   Hi Sophia, Sorry to hear about your experience at our restaurant. I do wish you would have said something during your time with us so we could have better accommodated you. There are times that we do have to speak to parents about their children because they do make it into their own little playground and, as much as we want people to feel welcome here, that can definitely be off putting to surrounding guests. But that is our job, not yours.

   We booked outside and the temperature climbed to a mighty unexpected 28 degrees. It was impossible for the table to get completely out of the sun. It was our only complaint and was not the fault of the restaurant.

   For me it was 4 or 5-th time there, and it was first time I decide for my friends where to go and I choose Amsterdam. I was so excited to send mt friends there and to enjoy patio, but it was a disappointment. We cleaned the table ourself from the dust, the food, crispy brussels where burned, we didn’t have the chance to see what we were eating because of no light, we turned on cell light.

    Hi there, Thanks for your review! Love that you found our place cozy- we want to be that cozy neighborhood spot. As for our brunch items, it was only a Mother's Day special we had for the one day. We do weekly features too to add variety to our year-round menu. Good to know you would love more of it!! Can't wait to host you again soon! All the best, Barrel House

    (May 7, 2022) After 2 years, it was the first time dining out for my family of three. Been here 3-4 times before and food is still skillfully prepared, presented, and very good; portions are substantial. Shared a calamari appetiser, mains were salmon, brisket dinner, and a chicken curry. Service was OK, but there were a lot of people dining out and everyone was hustling (it was the day before Mothers'Day after all).

    I booked the table at 9:15 am, for 7:30pm. And arrived there at 7:30 but they said they are fully booked and do NOT have any table for us!!! We had to wait 30 minutes for a table. I do not know why I reserved the table from morning!!!! The food was really bad we ordered lemon chicken and it was burnt without any lemons taste. My mix of green salad was not fresh and it has just ONE cherry tomato in whole salad !!!! It was a really bad experience…

    Thanks for allowing us to close out the restaurant and not rushing us. It was a long time since we’d been able to gather and you honoured that. Enough attention to keep us fed and left alone long enough to solve the world’s issues. Perfect

    Went for the beer, but wasn't impressed with the menu: it was unoriginal, not good value for money. For $17, had a few fried calamari, which were frozen, seemed mass produced and boring. Had the smokehouse burger, which was a thin pattie, charred, dried out and virtually tasteless. Kids menu was good value, but my kids were not impressed with the cheese pizza. Wife had the roasted beet and goat cheese salad. Muh - it was fine. Nothing to write home about. The ambience is nice, the beer's great - I really enjoy the Neon Haze IPA - and service was friendly and attentive. But what could be a very interesting gastro pub was very pedestrian. Probably won't return any time soon.

    We've been to this location quite a bit and it always delivers. Service is excellent. Our server had a great sense of humour and really added to our evening. Food is always outstanding and well priced. Cocktails are generous and tasty. The only downside (we went on a busy Friday night and had a reservation) was that there was a large table of young people celebrating a birthday party. For the most part OK but the noise volume was unbearable at times throughout the evening. Would have been nice if there was a private room for large groups.

    We split a brisket sandwich and a Buffalo chicken sandwich. They were both really good. The brioche buns handled the sandwich fillings well. The side green salad and fries were perfect. A really great meal, but the bonus of the night was our server. She was wonderful. I hope she is there when we go back.
