Diner Reviews
  • "I brought a friend there for lunch last week. View was great, we had a table at the end of the restaurant so we had a great view of the waters. Server was nice and asked us for drinks right away. Ordered the chicken lettuce wraps for appetizer, chicken salad for lunch. My friend ordered the flank steak. The lettuce wraps were good, messy but good. The salad was average - nothing amazing but good. My friend's steak was very fatty, she couldn't eat it because it was too fatty so she left it all and just ate the sides which was a shame. When we had to go, it took a long time to find the server and we waited for a while until i tracked her down. Overall the place is nice looking, great view and the food is ok."

  • "I go to a lot of shows at Harbourfront Centre's theatres and this resto is a WELCOME addition to a previous culinary wasteland. Also large enough for groups, the menu notes vegetarian and gluten free options. The beer-flights are fantastic!!"

  • "Had a quiet dinner with two friends. The service was friendly and helpful even though we took a while to decide what to order. Definitely would return."

  • "Great for a date night. Great Food, View and Ambiance. Too bad you couldn't buy all the beer that's on tap to take home."

  • "Decided to try something different before the Sting/Paul Simon concert on Saturday night. Glad we did - lots of tables without the crazy overcrowding and noise you get at other local pre-concert venues. Friendly service and reasonable prices made this very cool bar a must before our next concert - hopefully on the patio. The food was very good & I'd recommend a beer flight to try a few different locals."

  • "Grab a group of friends and head over to this pub for some classic fare. I had the house-made soup (happened to be butternut squash) and the chicken lettuce wraps. Both tasted great. The waitress was a lot of fun too. I will definitely return!"

  • "My boyfriend and I made reservations on Valentines Day for our first visit here. Upon arriving we were sat at a very crowded tabled area where there wasn't much space between tables. We placed our order and our apps arrived. Our server was not very attentive and it was getting increasingly noisy around us. When I read the reviews they all mentioned a spectacular view of the lake, yet we were in a corner and could only see a bar, I eventually got up and asked the host if there was somewhere quieter to sit as it was valentines day and I was looking to enjoy a nice romantic evening. They were quick to move us into the dining room area, with the spectacular view. Our new server was attentive and ensured that the rest of our evening was great."

  • "A friend recommended this place. At first we thought it would be a sports bar based on the name, but it is actually a very ambient space, with terrific food and we had superb service. The dishes were brought out at exactly the right time, did not overlap, and the wine list was excellent. Our server knew his stuff, and the steak tartar was one of the best - done Belgian style with the raw egg yolk. Very much recommended."

  • "Great atmosphere. Tables not too crowded as I have experienced at other brewhouses. Food was fantastic, especially cheese and beer dip that we ordered with pretzel buns.......Tired a flight of beer with some interesting flavours.....overall a great night out."
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "Burger was very good, did not expect the cold sausage/egg appetizer - think it would have tasted better warm. Swordfish was dry but the chick peas were good. Tried the king & Portland (I think) sampler. Downtown brown was excellent, grapefruit was not... Would have preferred if the live music started after 9, we were still trying to talk (it was close to us). Spot beside the fireplace was awesome though, as was our waitress."
    Dined on 1/25/2014
  • "Even though the restaurant is big and open, in the night it has a quaint ambiance, which makes it very romantic. The service was outstanding and clientele was mature trendy. The view overlooking the lake and boardwalk just adds to the screen romanticism. Great place to dine whenever…."

  • "Got there early prior to a Leaf game - perfect time to go as it filled up quickly! Food was great - smaller menu, but something for everyone. Especially liked the wings. can't wait to try the patio in the summer"
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "Our waitress was amazing, really knew a lot about the in house beers. She was fun and helpful! I also had the opportunity to talk to Felix, one of the managers there. He was giving me some good insight on some of the good cchanges the restaurant will be undertaking in the near future. Recommend this place for anyone!"

    Dined on 12/31/2013
  • "Really nice food, interesting beers, absolutely fantastic waiter. Unfortunately the high room was very draughty because of the ceiling fans, ans also (as almost everywhere one goes) the music was overwhelming, so that converstaion was tedious. This plase is better outside in the sumer, because you can get away from the loudspeakers"

  • "Had a wonderful time, the food and beer was fantastic!"
    Dined on 12/21/2013
  • "Construction along Queen's Quay makes access and finding parking a bit of a hassle at the moment, but the place is bright and open. Went for lunch had the burgers which were great. Staff were very friendly and helpful"
    Dined on 12/19/2013
  • "This is a wonderful spot for before or after Harbourfront entertainment, offering a well priced and varied menu and great beer selection. Tables by the fireplace or the windows in winter are very cozy and have a fantastic view! If I didn't have a show to get to I might have stayed all night with my husband and University aged kids! We will definitely be back!"
    Dined on 12/17/2013
  • "Loved the location...right on the water. Our server was fun and very attentive and knew the menu well. Thought our arrival at the front desk could be a little more efficient."
    Dined on 11/30/2013
  • "Our group went during a time where it was relatively empty. I found the service to be quite slow. Great list of beers though, which would make me ignore the slow service and return again."
    Dined on 12/3/2013
  • "Great selection of local craft brews. Try a flight of them. Chicken Schnitzel and Short ribs were fantastic my only complaint is they were small for the price."
    Dined on 12/2/2013
  • "Great food, great service provided during our first time at this restaurant. Will likely go back again."
    Dined on 11/8/2013
  • "We were a party of 4 last Wed night; pleasantly surprised to see the no. of patrons because Amsterdam is huge, tucked away and not too accessible - Queens Quay is shut down to one-way due to construction & no parking on premises (closest underground parking is at Radisson Hotel). Stunning renovation of the previous Pier 4 Restaurant, now transformed into a modern gastropub with brewing and store on premise. Beer selections were vast and fresh. Waitress unfamiliar with cocktails. Menu design well thought-out with beer pairings. Chili-rubbed flat iron steak was spiced nicely, served on a bed of creamy grits. Beef-Dip sandwich also didn't disappoint. Thumbs-up for ice-cream sliders and vanilla creme brulee. Food price point a bit high."
    Dined on 10/24/2013
  • "Remembering the original John&Richmond Amsterdam brewpub and a smaller one at King&Portland looked forward to this revival. Location is great for the summer, on the waterfront overlooking the island. Of course, the whole point of the bistro is to sample a great range of craft beers while enjoying an appropriate menu, from lighter snacks to full main courses, and there's no disappointment here. Not a gourmet menu, it's a very substantial one that rises above "pub grub" and everything I've had on both visits was well prepared. But the point is the beer, and on offer are almost a dozen fresh variations from the regular Blonde pils to the hoppy Boneshaker IPA, with lots in between. Nice to have Amsterdam back in the restaurant business!"
    Dined on 9/26/2013
  • "This was a good surprise for us. It has been ages since Harbourfront has received a restaurant we'd be comfortable with going back to time and time again. The food was great, timely and served by a great waitress who was helpful and knowledgable. The atmosphere was fun with a great view and fireplace and well designed to match the brand and neighbourhood. Our dessert was the only issue and it was fixed immediately and taken off the bill. It was served partially ice cold when it should have been warm throughout. These things can happen, it's how it's handled that makes the difference, which in our opinion was very well."
    Dined on 9/22/2013
  • "The atmosphere is fun - the place is huge but didn't feel too overwhelming. Good views inside and out. Beer flights are awesome."
    Dined on 9/21/2013
  • "Appetizers (Poutine and Scottish Egg) so lala, but main dishes (salads) quite good. Service is great and beers interesting. They just opened in June apparently."
    Dined on 9/16/2013
  • "Great beer selection and lovely view of the Toronto waterfront."
    Dined on 9/14/2013
  • "The place was full on a Tuesday night. The reservations are managed very efficiently, one hostess run a "database", and when the table is ready you get a text message. The place is big enough to loose control, but it is not happening - the staff is on top of it. Food arrived without delay, and was quite good. The tables outside have a greta view of the harbour. There was a lot of peole inside and outside, mostly in their 20-30ies, everybody seemed to have great time, so it was quite noisy. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun."

  • "Let's start with the "good": it's great venue, vibrant and energetic, good beers, nicely paired flights, food is good, but passable. Now for the "bad": Server #1 was having a bad day - grumpy, unfriendly, took forever to get our drinks and food. Server #2 didn't have a clue! We ordered a Parmesan Chicken Rocket Salad. When it arrived, there was just a mass of green leaves. We inquired where the chicken was...only to be told you had to pay extra. We reminded the server that it was a "chicken salad", which by its very name implies the chicken should be included. She went to check with her manager. He rushes to our table to say the chicken is under the salad greens (yup, that's how much green there was, we couldn't find the chicken!)."
    Dined on 8/29/2013
  • "We had a table at the window overlooking the water, watching sail boats and it was GREAT! We got right in with our OpenTable reservation. The food was amazing. The onion rings were delicious. The dessert was AWESOME!! The local craft beer selection was really ample with lots of styles to choose from. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we are sure to make it one of our "go-to" places. Thanks, Amsterdam!"
    Dined on 8/23/2013
  • "Great restaurant and location. The staff seemed a little disorganized though - we had a reservation and waited at least 10 minutes for our table. Once we were seated it took our server over 15 minutes to come to our table and acknowledge us - when she did she only left menus and said she would be back to take our meal order. Long story short - it took us a good half an hour to get seated and something to drink - which isn't what you expect when dining out, especially when you make the effort to book a reservation."
    Dined on 8/17/2013
  • "Amsterdam Brew House offers a great selection of their craft brews (including Boneshaker- highly recommend!). The food is decent, ranging from simple pub fare to gastro-gourmet (onion rings to duck confit grilled cheese). The service is awful. Servers aren't familiar with their food menu, and information/selections seem to vary depending on which server you ask. The servers are even less familiar with the beer menu, which is disconcerting considering the venue... The place is always half full, yet there's an hour long wait time post 5pm to be seated (even if you don't want the patio). The hostesses are rude and I've witnessed them ignore parties for as long as possible (usually until the party attempts to re-address them). Go for the beer."
    Dined on 8/8/2013
  • "The entire experience was great! We sat outside at the waterfront. Very cool to see the planes coming in at the island airport. We ordered our "flight tour" of beer which gave a nice variety to sample. Our food came very quickly and was very good! Great location to come and have some beers and food before the Jay's game! Would highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys a good beer!"
    Dined on 8/14/2013
  • "beer was great! and food was really delish! Not the typical pub food you would expect - yummy salads and sandwiches. Would totally go back."
