We
went
to
Café
Nieuw
Amsterdam
for
a
friend's
lunch.
The
atmosphere
of
the
building
is
undeniably
impressive.
The
staff
is
amiable
even
though
they
are
all
over
the
place
running
up
and
down,
while
the
staff
ratio
to
guests
was
perfectly
fine.
Most
of
us
ordered
a
sandwich
with
the
expectation
of
receiving
a
proper
sandwich.
Unfortunately,
the
size
was
relatively
small,
too
small
for
a
lunch
dish.
It
would
have
been
great
if
the
staff
had
informed
us
as
we
would
have
ordered
two
each—a
missed
opportunity
to
make
some
profit
for
the
restaurant.
The
food
was
delicious
and
would
definitely
be
a
reason
to
come
back
if
it
wasn't
for
the
poor,
poor,
poor
furniture.
The
furniture
was
horrific
and
should
not
be
in
any
restaurant
as
it
was
impossible
to
sit
on
it
properly.
Furthermore,
the
tables
had
a
bar
at
the
bottom,
making
it
impossible
to
stretch
your
legs.
No
restaurant
should
have
this
quality
of
furniture!
The
wine
we
ordered
was
great,
and
we
would
have
ordered
another
bottle,
but
as
mentioned
staff
was
all
over
the
place—another
missed
opportunity.
We'll
give
it
some
time
before
we
return
in
the
hope
there
will
be
improvements
to
the
furniture
and
the
waiting
qualities
of
the
staff
even
though
they
were
very
friendly.
