Celia at Kimpton De Witt

Restaurant

👍 Beautiful place and nice to see a Californian cuisine restaurant in Amsterdam. The food is good, but the price-quality ratio seems a bit out of place for what it was. Service was friendly, but also not quite befitting the price level. It was a nice experience, but not worth the final bill. People often mention great, experience, staff, service, delicious, restaurant, menu, nice, atmosphere, friendly,

    Interesting cuisine and I would say more American-Mexican cuisine. The food taste excellent. I would rate it 6 stars out of 5. The Roasted Farm Chicken was excellent. It was tasty and the meat was succulent and juicy! Kudos to the Chef. By chance we found out that the restaurant was part of the IHG group and thought we could leverage our IHG membership benefits. Unfortunately no but the hotel staff Pasquale was so nice to come over to explain the situation to us. I have to also give credit to the restaurant manager Vincent who was so hospital to us. Truly an extremely pleasant dining experience at this restaurant!!!

    The food here is good and the atmosphere is also pretty good. However, the service is not very fast. So come here only when you have lots of time to enjoy a long dinner.

    Almost, almost perfect. Some dishes like cauliflower are perfect, others, like bok choy are not so much.

    We had an absolutely amazing experience here. We had a private room for 14 people. The service was exceptional! Thanks so much to the lovely Eva for being a great host! The food and cocktails were delicious. The atmosphere was great. We could play our own music. Seriously, can’t recommend this place enough.

    Pros: stylish, delicious, pricey. Delicious & great representation of dinner’s menu! A lot of stuff were working around us, they have even pro barman. Main waitress didn’t not understand what I mean by ordering Lemon beer, which was in the menu and proposed alternative as ginger beer. Manager speaks dutch&english, the rest stuff only English.

    Don’t be deceived by the darling atmosphere, interesting menu, or rave reviews. Great service and kind people but the food was beyond lacklustre. Per the recommendation of the waitstaff, we ordered multiple dishes to share - but everything was served at the same time, leaving us with an overcrowded table and hot dishes growing cold as we tried to eat everything at once. Despite the vegetable-heavy menu, the only edible / enjoyable dish was the deep-fried calamari. The hot vegetables were undercooked and of the two salads, one was overdressed and one had no dressing or seasoning. Sadly we are currently looking for Uber eats to fill the void…

    Overall experience was satisfying. I am impressed with the service, very attentive and kind. We went on a taco Tuesday and my friends loved the tacos. I personally suggest ordering calamari, it was delicious. Will definitely visit again 😃

    We really enjoyed the food, the taste was great and presentation was beautiful. The cocktails were also delicious. The only thing is that a bouillabaisse is called “beans and clams in tomato sauce” on their menu. Very strange, we didn’t expect the beans to be a fish soup. But I love bouillabaisse so the dish exceeded my expectations. Everything was excellent.

    Second time coming for a brunch and we loved it both times, the service is great, their team is lovely and we loved the eggs royale and the yuzu cheesecake! Perhaps a small recommandation to add a side salad next to the egg dishes as the portions can be a bit small, although it was filling! Would definitely go again!

    The overall experience is amazing, from the food to the service. I recommend the restaurant if someone wants to eat in a good place near the centre. The atmosphere was also fine and chill.

    We had the 3 course meal, kitchen struggled a bit with our large group size. Waitresses were very friendly. Food looked pretty but was partly underseasoned.

    It’s a beautiful spacious location in the middle of the busy shopping street. The staff was very friendly, including the hostess greeting us and taking our coats. I love Super Lyan, but the cocktails here were of less quality. The mimosas were not made with fresh orange juice, tasted more like a sparkling lemonade. The omelet was tasty, but served on a slice of sourdough bread that was impossible to cut. Way beyond “crunchy.” I wouldn’t come back for brunch, but we had a nice afternoon nevertheless.

    Hospitality - 3.5/5 Selection - 3/5 Quality of Food - 4/5 Overall - 3.5/5 As I entered the Celia I was welcomed kindly and sat at the bar as I was only looking for quick bit and a beer. The bartender dropped a menu and said let him know when I was ready. After deciding on getting the Chicken Sandwich, I signaled the bartender I was ready to order. With that I asked the bartender to direct me on a beer that would go good with the sandwich. He suggested 2 and by the end of the meal I enjoyed both suggestions. When the chicken sandwich arrived, the presentation as good. The sandwich was dark meat, which I was surprised, but ended up really enjoying. One of the better chicken sandwiches I ever had. The fries were fries, nothing to dive into, but decent. Overall, the experience was good. I would recommend to anyone, especially if staying in the Kimpton.

    Portion size great for sharing for the three of us. All of the dishes were so tasty esp pumpkin ravioli, sweet potato and burrata cheese!

    Very tasty dishes prepared. Dorado tasted amazing. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Pleasant prices. I recommend!😋

  • 5/5 Brianna M. 1 year ago on Google
    I cannot express this enough. I’ve lived in the Netherlands for three years, and this was probably one of the best restaurants I ate at in the country. From the beginning, everyone was very welcoming, the atmosphere was amicable, and the food, every bite, was exquisite; if you thinking about eating here, please go, you won’t regret it.

  • 5/5 Chelsea V. 2 years ago on Google
    Being from California, the quality, freshness and healthy food served here made me feel at home! Every dish had such a flavorful sauce and the dishes were best shared so we could try everything. Plus the waiting staff was the friendliest and made the experience wonderful!

  • 5/5 Jeffrey Z. 3 years ago on Google
    What a beautiful and atmospheric restaurant! The welcome is friendly and informal. Big compliment to the lady who served us at the table. A relief in the field of friendliness, way of serving and her hospitality with a sincere smile. The menu is not particularly extensive, but plenty of delicious choices. We went for the whole chicken. This one was super tender and seasoned and the fries were delicious. The dessert as well. Well deserved this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    The best restaurant in town for sure! 👌 We had a great night and the atmosphere is so great. I been in restaurants all over the world but this is a unique, for sure is my favorite in Nederlands! Food is fantastic, it's not a big menu but all the itens were more great! Octupus and the chimichurri steak were my favorites and the cauliflower 🤩🤩🤩

    Loved our experience here. The cauliflower and vegetables were definitely what will bring me back. Please don't overlook these trust me Our server and host were both very nice.

  • 5/5 Luisa M. 1 year ago on Google
    was here with my boyfriend. We both work at a kitchen, so we know how much effort stands behind this incredible culinary experience. 10/10 for all the special flavours, the best chicken in our life and the cozy atmosphere!!!

  • 3/5 Daphne Le B. 2 years ago on Google
    The space is beautiful and the service is great. They really make an effort to make sure you have everything you need. But the brunches dishes could do better, especially for the price. The angus burger didn’t have any sauce inside and needed more salt and pepper. The mushroom tacos were a tiny portion which left me hungry. The burrata comes without bread and also requires a bit more condiments (more olive oil or herbes). Unfortunately the food wasn’t up to our expectations.

  • 2/5 Janina N. 2 years ago on Google
    Expensive but quite ok food, especially the side dishes (the cabbage for example). However, I did not really appreciate that they served the passionfruit sour drink in a half full champagne glass and charged 12€ for it nor that they served warm sparkling water and I had to ask 3 times for them to change the water.

  • 5/5 Mafalda B. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is delicious, ingredients are fresh and I was not hungry at the end. Relax atmosphere and the staff are super stars! All so nice and lovely, we always feel welcome and we'll taken care of!

  • 5/5 Jessy v d B. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good food, we had the chicken, cauliflower with feta and crab cakes! Everything was super tasty. On top of that, the host and the waitress made our night very special and personal. I liked that there was a dj who kept the ambiance popping 😎Would definitely recommend to friends and family!

  • 5/5 Lance La B. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped in for dinner without a reservation. They accommodated us (table for two), as it was early in the dinner service, around 17:30. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Drinks and food were both delicious and worth the price (a bit expensive, but worth the price paid). Excellent menu selections for an elevated dining experience. Highly recommended, and will certainly stop in again next time we are in town.

    Really nice Morden for surprisingly value for money. Good place to have a dinner with friends or. Your love one! Good service as well! It is hidden gems in the area center Amsterdam

  • 5/5 Disha M. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was very nice. Music a bit too loud at late hours, but we could manage a conversation 😅 the drinks were fine too, I mostly had wine but my friend approved the cocktails. ( if you’re not able to decide perhaps you can try Tom and jerry ) I loved the vibe and enjoyed my time here very much! Thanks to the staff who was very attentive and polite ❤️

    Loved the food, the portion, the presentation and the taste everything. Team at Celia was very friendly from the time you entered until the end. Not forgetting the Mimosas were great! 🤩

  • 5/5 Simon D. 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    From the moment we made the reservation to the time of our departure, every aspect of our evening was nothing short of perfect. The room was beautifully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that enhanced our overall dining experience. The attention to detail did not go unnoticed, and we especially loved the personalized menus with our names – a delightful touch that added a special and personal feel to the evening. The food was not only delicious but also well presented. The timing of the courses was perfect, allowing us to enjoy the evening without feeling rushed. It was evident that a great deal of care and thought went into curating the menu. Equally impressive was the level of service we received. Our waitress was not only professional but also remarkably attentive. Her knowledge of the menu, coupled with her friendly demeanor, enhanced our dining experience significantly. The seamless coordination from arrival to departure highlighted the high level of efficiency and dedication of your staff. The only slightly confusing part was entering the restaurant. Some people entered from the front via the hotel and didn't get greeted and found it hard to know where to go. Overall, our evening was beyond our expectations, and I would not hesitate to recommend your establishment, particularly mentioning the excellent food and attention to detail. It's clear that your team is committed to providing a memorable dining experience, and I am grateful for the effort put into making our evening special. Thank you for maintaining such high standards, and please extend our gratitude to the entire team. We look forward to future visits and continued wonderful experiences at Celia.
