2.5/10I would caution against this place. There were two men and two women in our party. We requested small portions of meat and fish. We ended up with far too much of each. Our fish was €183 and the meat was €196. Both portions were far more than our table could eat. We only ate half of the fish. Of course we could not take it with us so it ended up in the trash. They served a tomahawk from a 12 year old dairy cow and bragged about the cut. That would never ever be a desirable cut in the US. In fact, I have never heard of it. The fish was prepared with oil, lemon and minimal seasoning. The service was absent. They charge by the gram so you have no control over portion size. All in all we felt very taken advantage of. A great deal of our food ended up in the garbage. We had two rounds of drinks. Our bill was close to €700 with tip. J. Be aware you will pay for an entire tomahawk and an entire fish with the size at their discretion.

9.5/10Lovely Basque restaurant in the middle of the Nine Streets area. Broad wine selection and interesting basque menu. The fresh caught Mackerel was excellent along with the starters. Would definitely recommend and return.

5/10Nothing to do with the Sagardi in Spain. Overpriced, not so much choice in the menu, mostly overpriced meat that it’s not really Spanish. Every country in the world eat meat.

5/10Disappointed with our meal everything seemed rushed, our sharing steak for 4 of us was very tough even though it was the restaurant’s “Basque” style house speciality.

10/10Basque restaurant with outstanding beef that has been aged at least 4 weeks, but also fish options. Good service, fresh salad, nice wine selection. Fairly pricey but worth it.

10/10Excellent food, great service and a fantastic wine list. Our server took us off-menu and made some recommendations for the table. Everyone loved it. Family-friendly, too.

8/10The food was fine but definitely does not meet the basque standards. Anyway the service and atmosphere are really good. Wines extremely overpriced (X3 or X4 retail value).

6.5/10Way too salty. And this has little to do with real basque cuisine.

8.5/10Food was very good (the monkfish). Staff was really helpful and friendly. It was very busy, kitchen was clearly overwhelmed, so very long waits. Prices are a touch on the high side to be value for money for the food. Wines are definitely overpriced

6/10No Pintxos because of understaffing, but this is not communicated on the website. Also the waiters are trying to push big pieces of fish and / or meat without proper communication of pricing. Felt like a big tourist trap vibe. Certainly not the same quality as in the Barcelona location. Price quality too high.

10/10Really good Spanish food! Recommend the mushrooms for starters and the beef carpaccio. We had the óctuplos and the ribs that was also very good. The duck was good but not the best I ever had. Friendly and helpful staff and a wide variety of wine.

9/10This restaurant is very successful in terms of food quality and service. I want to give a small detail. The price written on the menu and the food served by the waiter were not the same price. The price written on the account was more than the price on the menu.I objected, they changed the price.I will visit again next time.

10/10As always this place is popping and the food is great. Authentic, focused choice of good stuff. Once again we were greeted by Amy and Aintzane, who recognized us from two years back. It feels like visiting your Basque grandmother for a rowdy family reunion, while she prepares the family supper.

4.5/10The review of this restaurant cannot be positive, not because the food and its cuisine, which was good, but because of the bad attitude of the two employees attending the customers on Sunday evening, May 29th. As a background of my negative review, I must mention that we, my wife, and I, are from Barcelona, and were spending a few days visiting Amsterdam in a leisure trip. As this restaurant is very close to our hotel, the NH City Center Amsterdam, and being a Basque restaurant with good reviews so far, we decided that it would be a good choice to have dinner there, so we made a reservation for two at 20h30m via The Fork some days in advance. As we are aged and vulnerable persons regarding potential Covid infections, we went to the restaurant the day we arrived at Amsterdam, May 27th, to see how the dining room was to request a table as secluded as possible from the rest of the tables. We were attended by two young ladies from Spain who perfectly understood the situation and offered us the possibility to have dinner in a specific table, very secluded, that was in an open space very near to the entrance. For us was a perfect solution. On May 29th, as we arrived at the hotel earlier than planned, we decided to pass by the restaurant and ask if we could go at 19h instead of at 20h30m. At that moment, there was nobody at the restaurant speaking Spanish (?). To our surprise, the waiter who was at that time at the entrance of the restaurant said to us that the table offered by his Spanish colleagues two days earlier was not available and that we should have dinner at the main dining room, and furthermore that those ladies were not entitled to have compromised such table by any means to anybody. Absolutely disappointed by the lack of flexibility and empathy of this person, we tried once more to explain to him what our situation was and at the end, he, for some reason I ignore, finally agreed to give us such table, but he made us very clear that he was not happy with the idea. The situation had not been pleasant, frankly, but the worst was still to come. Despite the food, I remark again, was good, the dinner was, globally speaking, a very bad experience. Our table was attended by a lady, Amy Nicole, who didn’t speak a word of Spanish either. We were served the entrees quite correctly, but the main courses didn’t arrive. After a long wait of more than 40 minutes, nearly desperate with the long wait, we called the waitress to ask what the reason of the delay. She said, with very bad temper, prepotent and arrogant, that the main dining room was very busy, that they were few waiters/waitresses attending the restaurant and literally that “we shouldn’t complaint because they were making us a favor” attending this table outside the main dining room. Unbelievable!!! We finished our main courses, and without further delay requested the bill, paid, and left the restaurant very disappointed and angry. What could have been a nice dinner in a good Basque restaurant ended up in a very bad experience because the unappropriated behavior, lack of professionality and empathy of these two persons attending the restaurant that day. This restaurant is not precisely cheap and should pay more attention selecting its personnel to avoid reviews of this kind. What for other customers having dinner at Sagardi Amsterdam was a good experience, for us was one to be forgotten, certainly.

6/10Very disappointed to order 1.85kg steak and to receive 1.2 of bone and very little meat to share. The meat was cooked rare so we had to return it to the kitchen for extra grill time.

7.5/10It was shaping up to be a fabulous evening. Our server was excellent. We had ordered Monkfish, one of the catches of the day. We waited and waited. I finally flagged down our waitress to ask. She was evasive. Then we never saw her again and another waiter took over. It was never explained what happened but was not good

5/10Service was slow and not attentive. Food order came out very late. They did apologize for the delay. One dish, prawn carpaccio was not served properly, should be cold, not room temperature was not edible.

6/10Food was good, yet could have been better. I didn't enjoy the fish very much. Cheesecake was below my expectations but it wasn't bad. Service was slow, we had to ask 4x to get the check. Ambiance was nice.

I have taken my family, friends and colleagues there already!! Highly recommend!!

10/10Probably one of the best meat restaurants in Amsterdam. Nowhere far from the original restaurant in Barcelona. Top ingredients, great flavors and amazing service

6.5/10The overall experience was ok, however we expected better service especially for the amount of money we spent. Even though the restaurant was noticed in advance that a guest was gluten and lactose intolerant and after 30mins telling us the gluten free bread was in the oven and was about to come, it ended up that they actually did not have any bread. Also by accident a knife was dropped on a guest’s back. The accumulation of these wrong errors and the high prices (480 euros for 4 people) made the experience not as good as it should be

9.5/10Amazing restaurant. Amazing food such a good quality and the place is really beautiful and romantic. The 0.5 point missing is just for the service that was a little bit long but honestly it is really a detail

8/10Best Spanish Restaurant in the Netherlands. Very friendly and good advising. The service could be faster, but in general that’s a place well visit often from now.
