Cafe Amsterdam 530 East Benson Boulevard, Anchorage, AK 99503

"Just walked out after experiencing the rudest waitress in my life! When she took our order for what we wanted to drink, I expressed that we were ready to order our meal, as well… Her very short & curt response was “You’re ready, but I’m not!!!! I’m sure you understand!” I said, “ No, I don’t!” It’s your tone that I don’t understand!” I absolutely understand that she may have felt overwhelmed because she was working alone, which we didn’t know… I could appreciate her situation if she had expressed that in the beginning. After all, you’re in the people business, right? It wasn’t what she said, it was how she said it. I don’t give my money to a business that can’t give common courtesy!"

"Delicious breakfast with fast service and friendly staff. We will be back to enjoy this clean comfortable restaurant."

"So to start this experience, I will mention the dark dining room before the hostess asked if I was waiting for another to join me. As they have a sign up that clearly discourages solo dining. I personally tend to get nervous when I am the only patron in the establishment. But I shall as always press on. So this will be interesting as I can'tsee anything actually being cooked. I can see the kitchen but haven't observed actual cooking. Nor can I hear any cooking. As my food arrives I have a simple presentation. Eggs Benedict with country potatoes. Unfortunately the flavors are not present. Very dull, lots of paprika and not a good paprika. Similar to the flavors of a deviled egg. Since my plate was served so quickly I suspect that most if not all was reheated. And fairly cold. I attempted to eat 10% of it but couldn't. Unfortunately another cost cutting restaurant. The potential was there but the passion was not."

"My partner and I came here for brunch and we were so pleased! Service was fantastic. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. I had the maluska Benedict with the salmon lox and it was one of the most delicious meals I've had out. Really loved it here. We will be back!"
