“Had a great time attending a special event at The Fairway Tavern. The service was great and very attentive to our needs. They were super accommodating to my and my husbands allergies. Super friendly staff, food was yummy and the drinks were delish! We will definitely be back!!! = )“

“We love it there! The ambience is so warm ,& love the music when it's there, unclear about the availability of snacks?.. . A mixture of all types and ages which is the best . We can have a great time and so can our adult kids. We'll be back!“

“Went here last night for drinks and small bites. The vibe is perfect and decor is gorgeous. Our mixologist was perfect and fun to watch , he made us a “don’t go until you get some” and “never fully dressed” which were perfection. We ordered the squash bread as well as shrimp cocktail and both were delicious. The perfect date spot. Don’t pass this place up if you have a chance to go!“

“I feel bad for not doing this review sooner, but luckily my wife got one in a few weeks ago. There is no way my review can do justice to Zach and the entire team at The Amsterdam (and I do mean the entire team). The overall atmosphere from the moment of walking through the front door is inviting, friendly, and somehow screams that you are about to experience something special. Indeed you are. From the moment of seating, the entire staff is welcoming, attentive, and, most importantly, happy. Everyone seems to be happy to be working there and that, in turn, makes you feel happy to be there. The open kitchen just adds to the inclusive feeling of the entire restaurant. We have taken advantage of that openness and have had wonderful conversations with Chef Zachary. Speaking of Chef Zachary, it really is impossible in a short review to describe how incredible the food is. In my most recent two visits I have had the pleasure of experiencing the short ribs and the Coq au Vin. You simply won't find better plates than these anywhere. It's almost shocking how good these dishes are. The desserts are equally amazing. I have noticed some reviews "complain " about the prices. Frankly, if you're "shocked" by prices before walking in in the year 2024, that's on you, as everything is easily found online (as evidenced by the "shocked" review you posted on Google). Also, the food and service is worth every cent. Well done by Chef Zachary and the entire team at The Amsterdam!“

“I have been coming to this restaurant for about 7 years and have never been disappointed. The food is fresh and delicious no matter which dish I get. The margaritas are also very good, the best in Uptown Kingston in my opinion. Space is small so get there early or make a reservation, especially if your party is larger than 4 people. A must visit if you are in the area.“
