10/10Best service and food we’ve had in a long time. The waiter had many recommendations and even a drink that the bar tender just made that day. Food was cooked perfectly and had many flavors profiles. Worth the pre fixed menu.

9.5/10Fine dining taken to a whole other atmosphere! This lovely space breathes care and attentiveness for gastronomy! The courses were exquisite and prepared with such care. And taking it beyond any expectation was the tea service! Different types of tea carefully curated by the tea-master (a true connoisseur) to match the served dish. Definitely worthwhile & recommended to visit!

10/10Food was very good and consistent, service was exquisite and quite fast (I had the 4 course menu and was in and out in about 1h 20). Truly no complaints, very much worth the price

7.5/10We enjoyed our dinner. Wine pairings went well with each course. The kitchen clearly has talented chefs. The service end of things was dissappoining. We had more than one server repeat questions, which became tedious. We received a lot of attention when seated to the point of feeling rushed. Then as the evening progressed, service seemed became exceedingly slow and non-responsive. The room could use a total operational review to enhance the customer experience. I'd return for the food, but would probably dine elsewhere due to the uneven and disruptive service.
Oriole Garden Bistro • Owner
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed impressions. It is encouraging to hear that you enjoyed your dinner and that the wine pairings complemented each course well. The recognition of the dedication of our kitchen team is truly appreciated. At the same time, I am sincerely sorry to read about the inconsistencies you experienced with the service. Repeated questions, moments of feeling rushed, and later a lack of attentiveness are not the standards we strive to uphold at Oriole Garden Bistro. Your perspective on your experience is valuable, and it will be taken into careful consideration as we continue improving the guest journey. I truly hope that you will consider returning so we can offer you a more seamless and enjoyable visit that matches the quality of the food you appreciated. Sincerely, Stefan Melcherts General Manager

4/10The room was attractive but the fish was undercooked and bland. The food was less than acceptable. We planned to have dessert but the service was so inattentive that we just asked for the check. Very disappointing.
Oriole Garden Bistro • Owner
Dear Ms. Shorey, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. The comments regarding the undercooked and bland fish, as well as the overall quality of the food, are concerning, and I regret that the service did not provide the attention you deserved. Your remarks are very valuable to us, and they will be addressed with both the kitchen and service teams to prevent such moments in the future. We hope that you might consider giving us another opportunity so we can offer you the level of hospitality that we strive to deliver. Sincerely, Stefan Melcherts General Manager

2/10We booked the reservation for a special occasion, and specifically requested the terrace. When we arrived we found out they closed their terrace in one of the nicest nights in Amsterdam.

6/10We had a very unfortunate experience. We were a party of 7 and I had booked almost a month in advance to be sure the restaurant could plan accordingly. A party of 15 was taken by the restaurant at very short notice. They were in back of us and entered the restaurant very shortly after we got there. They caused major disruption to our experience and service. Service took forever because of them, and much time was spent trying to get their table together. The food was good but the evening was ruined by how long everything took, the disruption of the large party, and the general noise from them. I saw another party be seated and leave because of the lack of service due to the large party that no one had prepped for in advance. Only 2 servers were on for the whole restaurant that night. Overall terribly disappointing evening.

5/10Unfortunately, this was the worst meal I had during my time in Amsterdam. The food was completely either overcooked or so heavily salted it was uneditable.The menu was poorly designed with very limited options, and it was unclear what were main courses versus appetizers. To make matters worse, the dishes were overcooked and dry. Very disappointing overall — I wouldn’t return.

7.5/10Daily fish special was delicious. Lamb was not great. Tough and with bone made it difficult to cut and eat. And it was plated nicely, but the process of cutting made everything messy.

10/10We enjoyed Oriole Garden Bistro greatly visiting it for a family lunch. Our kids loved the child menu and commended the food they had same as the a la carte menu and chef's menu we had. The service and the atmosphere in the garden were excellent.

7.5/10Overall it was a nice experience, however, not a place where I would return for food. Food was good, but many other places have similar quality food in Amsterdam. The service was wonderful.

This restaurant was not fully booked at the time we were there. Perhaps that was one reason for excellent service; they had time for us. Nice wines and delicious food. Our dinner was perfect!

9/10The venue was vary nice. I was a solo visitor and was seated at a great location with a windoe seat. Service was very good, I was never rushed through a course, Orlando to finish a wine pairing so the next course could be served . The food quality was good. I've spent my six nights in Amsterdan enjoying all that Michrlin has to offer good, again, the food was good and the value was good so agree to the Bib Gourmand rating.

6/10The pacing was was way off. Our pre-dinner drinks were very late arriving (which the restaurant acknowledged, apologized for, and comped), meaning that they were served well after the appetizers had arrived. We were looking forward to ordering a couple of glasses of wine with the main course, but this became impossible as we were still working on the cocktails when the main meal was served.
