We had tried a couple of other restaurants prior to finding Manzoâs only to be told their kitchens had closed - in fairness this was a Wednesday night at around 9.10pm. Initially we got the same reaction at Manzoâs, but our very helpful server checked with the chef who confirmed as long as we had a choice of burger, ribs or chicken we could eat.We both elected to have the chicken and it was totally delicious. It was served with the ubiquitous and very tasty fries, and asparagus (well cooked and not mushy). The chicken was off the bone and so moist and tasty. Excellent!All the waiting staff, and the chef, were extremely friendly and helpful. All in all a great experience and we will return

For our first visit to Amsterdam we followed our usual protocol, which means we consulted TripAdvisor. Bickers a/d Werf was well ranked and the reviews looked promising, so we chose it for dinner our first night in the city.As we have come to expect from the TA community, the reviews were spot-on.First advice - if you want an outside table (and, assuming the weather is nice, you do!) then make a reservation. We didn't, and it worked out well, but in the future we most certainly will.Second advice - trust the staff. If they tell you something is good, then go with it.Our two entrees, the fish of the day and tuna, were both prepared to perfection and presented with thoughtful sides that complemented every aspect of the presentation. The fish of the day was sole, lightly pan-fried â delicate and flavorful. The tuna was seared in a sesame/soy combination and absolutely fantastic.We chose a bottle of the house Sauvignon Blanc, which turned out to be a highly rated selection. It was crisp, bright, fruit-forward, and a bit on the dry side of Sauv Blanc, which allowed it to stretch from entree to dessert without a single "off" note. Desserts can be a challenge! Multiple attractive options to choose from, but we (again) went with the "cake of the day" (which was actually pie) and the Lemon Meringue was lovely. Not my grandmother's pie, mind you, but just as satisfying!On top of the excellent food we enjoyed wonderful service. While I didn't get any names, I do know that our waiter was assisted by one of the owners. Both individuals were warm and attentive, offering suggestions and snippets of helpful conversation. They managed 7-8 outdoor tables without missing a beat. It was obvious that several tables were occupied by regulars, another indication of consistency.When we return to Amsterdam we will most definitely return to Bickers a/d Werf!
