I had high hopes for Amsterdam Rhino, as I'd been wanting to stop by for years. Unfortunately, one visit last week was enough.
The service was pretty slow, the late afternoon music volume was too loud, I didn't like the concept of walking around to read the food menus, and I thought some of the food was overpriced. I wasn't impressed that I was charged well over $3 for yam fries, meaning that my small-med sized sandwich alone was over $13. Ridiculous for pub fare such as this.
It sounds terrible, but my fries looked like a bowl of worms that died in a fire. The fries were hanging limp over the side of the bowl and they were black all over. Some of the fries at the bottom were intact but I was stunned when the food was placed in front of me. The only thing I appreciated was the chicken sandwich with brie and cranberry spread.
The women's restroom in the basement is a tell-tale sign that I'm probably too old to hang out here on a Friday or Saturday night. It's a blur of stainless steel and mirrors with minimal decor. You know there's a disaster waiting to happen.
I do like the atmosphere so if I had to return, it would be for a weekday pint only.
