The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere, but the tables are very close together. The menu met our expectations. We had a gin and tonic as an aperitif which was very good and then two 100% angus beef burgers which were really very tasty. The waiters were friendly but the service was very slow. We recommend arriving around 8pm when most people have finished dinner. The service will be quicker and you will be less crowded.

Great restaurant in Amsterdam! The food was outstanding, the service was phenomenal, and the ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and warm. This was my first experience booking the reservation through TheFork app and I couldn't have been more pleased with how the entire process worked. Sure enough... 30% cut off right off the top. Thanks to Restaurant Black for participating in the program. I'll be back and will get another Rib Eye to share next time for sure.

I found the food to be mixed, my steak was not great, but was passable. the scallops were lovely, oysters were delicious. the chips were slightly overcooked. it took us a long time to get seated and I feel we were mostly ignored by the staff. overall, I would expect better. if you only have a a few days in Amsterdam, I would avoid.

We ordered the Ribeye Angus Steak 600 grams. The steak was quiet bland needed bit more flavour. The steak was clearly grilled and you can taste a lot of charring. The cut was quiet tough as well, so overall not worth it for the price. Should look for other alternatives for the steak especially with that thickness, like Sous Vide + Grill to induce flavours or Reverse sear and basting. Service was good but it seems they abide by rules of the restaurant that don’t prioritise the customer. For example replacing a sauce that was only tasted with no additional cost (pepper corn sauce was really distasteful). However, I won’t criticise the waiters they performed their duty greatly.

service was not good. They didn't acknowledge the booking via the fork, I was forced to move tables mid dinner because of that.

Very good restaurant, great location and very good service. we really enjoyed it. the interior is charming and cozy. The food and drinks are really good. Definitely good value for money. And the fries as much as you can eat are really a plus. A recommendation to go there from us.

The staff was good; when we ordered food for our son, it arrived quickly, and ours followed about 5-10 minutes later. The food was great, and everything went smoothly. Much appreciated!

We have been to the other 2 brands of the chain and I can confidently say Black was the best. The restorant itself has a warm and intimate vibe. Tables are well arranged, seats were comfy. The music was good and not very loud either. We tried 4 different coctails (Paloma, Margarita, Pornstar and coctail of the month) They were all delicious at an affordable price. Butcher steak was good. Ribeye was very delicious. Cooked excatly the way we asked for, juicy and tender. Brussel Sprouts, Beef and Mushrooms Bruschettas were tasty but nothing special. For deserts we ordered Chocolate Crumble - was really nice and Baklava - the weakest link of the night and the menu. Service was really attentive and even took their time to discuss our feedback with us. We enjoyed our meal and time at Black. Money well spent! We will definitely visit again for the Ribeye and coctails.

Food was quite good (meet better than fish) and the informations about the wines were lacking a bit. Otherwise the restaurant is quite nice, the service is very nice too and you have a lot of choice.

This was my third visit to Restaurant Black and the food, service, and atmosphere were just as good as my previous visits. I sat at an outside table and the staff were very attentive, but not in annoying way. They make an excellent burger and fries!

It’s a long time since we enjoyed such a good steak. We shared the Rib Eye (€79 for 2 pers ) with chips & a vegetable side. Really excellent food. The interior was lovely …there appeared to be road works outside which let down the look of the place when we arrived. The only reason I didn’t give 10/10 was it was very difficult to catch the eye of a waiter …I eventually gave up on ordering a second glass of wine . Also we sat for a considerable time waiting for our boards to be removed after we had eaten. Minor gripes as the food was exceptional & the staff pleasant …when you could catch them !!!
