Located
on
Prinsengracht,
Amigo
Grill
Restaurant,
has
great
views
of
the
city's
most
famous
landmark,
Westerkerk
and
its
85
meter
(almost
279
feet)
high
tower,
which
was
completed
in
1638.
This
Argentinian-themed
eatery
has
colourful
murals
of
gaucho cowboys
and
a
large
cow
staring
down
from
the
ceiling.
It
has
comfortable
seating,
together
with
a
delightful
outside
terrace.
Catering
predominantly
to
tourists,
the
restaurant
shares
its
kitchen
with
Amigo
restaurant,
a
few
doors
down,
just
around
the
corner,
on
Rozengracht.
In
general,
the
restaurant
attracts
good
reviews
for
its
meat
dishes,
but
a
recent
lunchtime
visit
proved
to
be
a
great
disappointment.
Having
reserved
for
four
persons,
three
decided
to
begin
with
onion
soup,
which
arrived
as
a
tasteless
watery
clear
broth,
most
likely
made
from
a
powder
substance,
bearing
no
resemblance
to
its
namesake.
Each
person
took
a
spoonful
and
declined
to
finish
the
remainder.
The
calamari
was
edible,
but
nothing
to
write
home
about.
My
main
pasta
course
arrived
fifteen
minutes
before
the
dishes
ordered
by
the
remainder
of
the
group.
Having
waited
until
the
rest
were
served,
it
became
unappetisingly
cold.
All
dishes
suffered
from
a
serious
lack
of
seasoning,
and
none
were
returned
fully
consumed.
The
apple
pie
cheesecake,
ordered
out
of
curiosity,
contained
no
cheesecake
whatsoever;
We
were
totally
mystified
why
it
was
named
as
such.
The
solitary
waitress
had
done
her
best
to
be
accommodating
throughout,
in
what
was
clearly
an
awkward
situation.
We
were
offered
a
glass
of
liqueur
with
the
bill.
Unsure
if
this
was
restaurant
policy,
or
her
attempt
to
appease,
but
it
was
a
nice
gesture.
Would
we
return
any
time
soon?
Highly
unlikely.
