I have been to Amsterdam Barrel House twice. The first time I went the service was amazing. The staff were helpful land letting us know which items were the best to try out. The food tasted soo good!!!
The second time I went, that's wasn't the case. They seem to have some sort of office/holiday party in the main bar area when entering. There was no hostess nor waitress in sight for more than 10-15 mins. There was no sign saying there restaurant was close. Finally, one of the staff finally came and sat us to a table beside the holiday office party which I didn't like because I could hear any conversation I had with my friends; and again why would you place us beside a loud office holiday party.
Food:
I would say the appetizer is better than the main, yet they cost pretty much the same.
The best food here is the Buffalo Cauliflower, Wonton Nacho, Yam Fries, sweet chilli chicken.
The Ontario brisket cheese burger was okay, it tasted very dry. The Korean pulled pork tacos and sandwich was awful the second time around. They didn't have any sort of sauce on it. It tasted like water down slaw and very soggy pork and the whole thing was a mess.
I would come back again for the appetizer but the service really turn me off so I'm not too sure if I would return.
