We visited this restaurant on Valentine’s Day. The evening started quite well – we were given a table with a view of the street, which was an interesting touch and created a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, that’s where the positive impressions ended.
Throughout the entire evening, waiters kept walking right behind our backs, which was very uncomfortable. There was visible chaos behind the bar – staff were constantly tripping over something, and the phone was ringing nonstop right next to us. Taking reservation calls near our table completely disrupted our conversation and ruined the atmosphere.
As for the food – it was very mediocre. For the starter, we ordered duck with a potato gratin, and that dish was actually good – the only strong point of the evening. Unfortunately, the main course was very disappointing. I ordered cod – the fish was boiled on some vegetables and completely tasteless. Both the appearance and the flavor resembled hospital food.
For dessert, the menu listed apple crème brûlée, but what we received was sliced apple with burnt sugar on top and a dollop of whipped cream. It looked as if it had been thrown together at the last minute, without any creativity or attention to detail.
The quality-to-price ratio is unfortunately a huge gap. The only positive (2+) goes to the Valentine’s chocolate.

Delightful Monday night meal. Highlights include the lone person manning the restaurant who tended to all tables with a great attitude and full confidence in the menu and wine list. From the small plates to seafood entrees nothing disappointed. We will definitely return on our next stay at the Pulitzer.

Had our first dinner in Amsterdam at this lovely restaurant. Simple, unpretentious, delicious food. Service was just right from beginning to end.
We made reservations for 6pm and we were able to decide where we wanted to sit. For couples, the corner seating right up front is the perfect balance between indoor-outdoor.
It felt far away from all the other diners; love the open window for people watching.

We recently dined at Venus and Adonis, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! The atmosphere was inviting, making it the perfect setting for a memorable meal. The food was simply outstanding. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The meat, in particular, was delicious—cooked to perfection and incredibly tender. The attentive staff truly enhanced our experience. They were knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations. Service was prompt and friendly, ensuring we felt well taken care of throughout our visit. We also enjoyed their impressive cocktail selection and wine card, which offered a variety of options to complement our meal. Each drink we tried was expertly crafted and added to the overall enjoyment of the evening. Overall, Venus and Adonis exceeded our expectations, and we can’t wait to return for another delightful dining experience! Highly recommended!

The kind of place to relax and let the wonderful experience wash away the stresses of the day. Service was the star. Our waiter was very knowledgeable, with interesting insights into the natural wines on offer. We had lovely bouillabaisse and a spectacular dark chocolate terrine glazed with some cherries and flavoured with a touch of sea salt. Highly recommended.

Our must-eat at restaurant every time we are in Amsterdam. The staff were very kind, and the food and drinks were wonderful! I wish the portion sizes were a bit larger for the price, but definitely quality over quantity! Can’t wait to come back again.

The food we got was really tasty, we chose the cote de boeuf fo two people at €88, however- the portion size was pitiful. The meat was enough, but the sides were barely enough for one rather than two- since these are the least expensive part of the meal it makes no sense as to why you wouldn’t provide enough to fulfil two people. The meat was also a little cold, forgivable because it was very tasty.
There was a dog in the restaurant which yapped throughout the meal which definitely took away from the overall experience.

I’ve been there together with the group, and maybe the group menu was the issue, but I didn’t enjoy neither food nor the atmosphere. We’ve got a table on the -1 floor in the tiny room just next to the open kitchen: not the best place to relax.
Food was mainly mediocre. Steak was to chewy and fatty, soups (both vegetarian and crab) were watery, dessert was ok but presentation was bad. I only liked gnocchi, but they were not classic gnocchi (fried)
No, I can’t recommend the place.

Nice restaurant for a pitstop. Me I had some expensive items. We had chips and mayo plus 2 beers. Cool to sit outside and watch the bikes zoom past .
