The Esplanade is one of my favorite places to come to downtown because of the mix of modern and older architecture, and Amsterdam Bicycle Club is one of the stale restaurants of the Esplanade. My favorite dish there is the risotto balls, they are just always made perfectly. The patio is absolutely stunning although it's not that big they make it work. The servers are always very friendly and check up often.
I would definitely recommend anyone that likes good bar food come here, or if you just want to have a cold one on a nice summer day.
