We went for first day open. Food was amazing! We added lobster for $16 and that was well worth it! Drinks were reasonably priced and fresh. The server was so sweet. We mentioned how we moved to AMS during the pandemic and she came back with some suggestions of activities and restaurants in the city. I for-see this being added in our normal rotation of places to frequent!

We had lovely experience here. Food was amazing and so was the service! The only let down was the entrance, it’s hidden and when you first walk in you aren’t sure if you are in the right place. We did wait awhile for the bill however, we were talking so they may have thought we were ready. I would definitely recommend this place and come back again.

Comfortable, relaxed and informal - this is a nicely judged resturant that has a great ambience and vibe, tasty food and is reasonably priced. It was very slightly let down by the informal nature of the service, I am not a stickler for old fashioned manners, but addressing my octagenarian parents as 'hi you guys' and littering your interactions with 'sweet' and 'no worries' was just a little bit jarring (certainly for them) Anyway, its billed as informal and it certainly is. Food was great, service a little slow and the plates were cold (never good in December) but mid priced, decent dining in a pretty room.

First of all to the staff of Bleu - Thank you, thank you, thank you so much! To our beautiful blonde hair server thank you so much for taking your job so seriously and for being so very hospitable! What can I say, the food was amazing, the drinks were great, atmosphere perfect, overall very good spot in Amsterdam with very reasonable prices for the dishes that offer great value. My first time in Amsterdam, definitely not my last one. Next time I will also come to Bleu!

It was very hot that day and so was the restaurant! It’s a popular place so it was very crowded. The food was delicious. The waitstaff was exceptional- despite the heat and how busy it was, they were responsive friendly and professional. I would definitely return, just not on a hot day!

When we turned up, it was empty, which although nice, meant there was little ambience. Food was great - simple meals, well presented. The service was poor and it seemed that ordering was a hassle for them and they did it reluctantly. Overall, was good, but with a good service, this place would rock.

My experience here was very mixed. While the food and bev was outstanding, the service was lacking. First, the server sat us and gave us water glasses but never asked if we would like water. Not a huge thing, we figured we'd just ask later no problem. Totally fine. Then, the server asks for our order and I asked for the mussels and whatever white wine pairs best. My friend ordered the steak and a lovely cocktail spritzer. We also ordered a couple of appetizers. The wine and cocktail came, then our appetizers. All is delicious, the ambience is great, we're very happy. (P.S. the decor here is lovely!) Then the server after quite a while brings my friend's steak and looks at me quizzically asking if we are sharing. I told her (just as confused) that we were not sharing, but didn't have a chance to mention that I had ordered the mussels. My friend very kindly waits to eat her food, and the servers have all seemed to disappear. Even a local couple sitting nearby asked if everything was OK since I hadn't received my food. After a good 15 minutes, a different server from the one that took our order appeared and I flagged her down and mentioned that I had ordered the mussels. She looked shocked and excused herself to run downstairs to the kitchen. When she returned, she said the other server never added my order to the ticket. They rushed it and comped our next round of drinks (thank you!) and then we asked if we could also get some water. She also took the steak away so that it wouldn't be cold. Much appreciated! Finally the food arrives, and of course it is delicious. We never did however get our water which I found slightly humorous, and all in all it took about 3 hours for us to finish our dinner. I would definitely come back because the food was divine, but hopefully we don't run into problems with our order next time. Bon appetit!

Found Bleu on Open Table. What a gem! Food and service were fantastic. My wife had the mussels, and I had the fish special. Both were incredible and nice portion for the money. Also enjoyed dessert, get the chocolate crumble and you will not be disappointed. I am back in AMS in two weeks, and one of my dinners will be at Bleu!

Amazing mussels. The service could not have been better. Hanne and Mandy took care of our group so well you would have thought they were the owners...making sure our seating was comfortable, our food was perfect and even inviting us back. Highly recommended
