Hendriks

We stopped by here on a Thursday night after reading decent reviews on the place. We’re on our honeymoon for two weeks and decided to give it a shot.
The food was fantastic, as were the drinks, but the wait staff was terrible. We had to track him down for another drink (which he rolled his eyes at) and I had to find him for silverware and napkins (which he pointed to the container where they were located. I assume for me to get it myself?)
I am learning that Dutch waitstaff aren’t the most attentive and actually seem to get pissed off when you request another beverage or ask for your bill. At no place have we been met with smiles and politeness yet, but fingers crossed!

My friend and I were just in Amsterdam for a day, and we stumbled upon Hendriks for dinner. We aren’t exaggerating when we say it was one of the best meals we have ever had. The atmosphere was lovely, and it wasn’t crowded at all when we went. In addition, the wait staff was extremely friendly. When the waitress informed us that the meal we wanted to order was almost out, she suggested this AMAZING pulled pork sandwich. We ended up splitting this and a white asparagus salad. This is a meal that we will dream about for years to come. They also gave us a free Heineken for the trouble of not getting exactly what we wanted at first, which was incredibly kind and not at all necessary.
We went back the next night, and we will definitely return the next time we are in Amsterdam.

Spit-​roasted French chickens with rosemary and other herbs, homemade cole slaw wih raisins and nuts, nice wines by the glass and the usual beer selection… my friend and I had a really nice, laid-​back, fresh and healthy dinner here. They have just opened up this month, so don’t let the lack of reviews scare you.
