10/10Truly the highlight of our time in Amsterdam. The service was top notch and the 6 course meal was unlike anything I have ever experienced. Delightful presentation, delicious flavors and sublime presentation were clearly the reason this is a Michelin starred restaurant t! Definitely reserve far in advance and you will find your wait well worth it!!

10/10We chose the 6-course tasting menu and the recommended wines. Everything was delicious, the combinations of flavors extraordinary, and visually stunning as you can see from the photos. The service was excellent … top notch, but not stuffy. This is a family-operated restaurant in a historic building. All the staff are very friendly and helpful if you care to engage them in conversation about the food and wine. Would highly recommend.

10/10We booked De Silveren Spiegel whilst on a weekend break to Amsterdam. My wife and I decided that instead of buying each other unnecessary Christmas presents we would treat ourselves to a special meal. I booked after reading very positive reviews and all I can say is wow! From the facade of the restaurant to the welcome from staff, we knew we had made the right choice. Each course had that magical touch without the overt drama other high end establishments try to bring. The scallop course was described by my wife as the most amazing thing she had ever eaten and I would struggle to disagree. The only downside? 8 courses with generous measures of wine pairing made the steep stairs down from the first floor a little tricky! If in Amsterdam, please try De Silveren Spiegel. You will not be disappointed.

4/10There is a steep stair to the 2nd floor dining area. There is no air conditioning and the room is stagnant. The floor is crooked and the tables are not level. Prix fixe only and no a la carte option even though we asked for one. No amount of pride and smiles could turn bad tasting, self important food into good food. We smiled too but left hungry, furious about the bill, lack of menu options and feeling completely taken advantage of.
De Silveren Spiegel • Owner
Dear Hillary, We are very disappointed to hear that you have not enjoyed your dinner last night. You must understand that our guests are usually very satisfied with the food and the portions (the same menu as well). Also your comments about our beautiful old building (historical monument) is something we hear for the first time, the stairs and floors are typical for this kind of building. Although it might be written on the Michelin guide website like that, we are not able to adjust it since they write there own reviews. We think they mean a “modern a la carte” in the way of the sort of kitchen we have. We exclusively serve the chefs menu on Fridays and Saturdays. (This is also presented on the menu at the Fork website). You have selected the 8 course menu on the Fork website yourself and received a confirmation with this information. There was no option to select a la carte. We think it is not very honest to stay for dinner and then complain afterwards when you have been told that we only serve our menu. You could have left the restaurant. If you had told us that you found the portions to small we could have done something about it right away. We have asked several times if everything was okay and you gave us a gratuity of 46 euro as well. We believe that this could easily be avoided by more research in advance and that we didnt have done you wrong in anyway. And that the dislike of the food is a personal taste, not something we can do anything about. Then you wouldn’t have liked the a la carte menu as well. Again we are very sorry that it was not up to your expectations.
