Graphite by Peter Gast Amsterdam Reviews
Lovely restaurant
Lovely restaurant. The meal was splendid. Each course was wonderful. The wines and service were excellent as well. Overall great experience.
Great dining experience
The whole experience was unique (speakeasy entrance, no photos of the interior allowed), the food was delicious, and the staff was lovely. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and made the experience flawless.
Graphite is great
Graphite is a great restaurant. The food and drinks are spectacular. The dishes are beautiful. The team is top notch and exceed high expectations.
Delicious meal
Delicious meal. Enjoyed the 15 course tasting menu. Really liked the oysters, beef, crushed langoustine, hamachi, tempura shisho, mushrooms, cod, lobster and deer calf. Fantastic restaurant!
Stellar Gastronomy and Service
Amazing restaurant. Finely curated dishes and impeccable timing on service. Went to another Michelin star restaurant the night before and we were so disappointed in the service and long waits between dishes. Not the case with Graphite. Beautiful and unique food, great wine recommendations from the Sommelier, and 12 courses handled with precise timing between each course. Sexy, private atmosphere. Fine dining at its best.
Limited good tables - back of service station
Overrated - went with my family of five and were seated behind a service station. Not next to or near a station, but behind the station. LED lights, back of a Chef, next to the water service and after dinner drinks for the full restaurant. This was not a speakeasy vibe, but a joke. I asked when seated and the chef said the stations were all over the restaurant and tables were all like this. They were not all like this. It would have been better to sit in the entrance hallway. When mentioning it again at the end of the meal they said this is where they put the larger groups that typically get loud and it is out of the way. We were a family with adult children. To many good options in Amsterdam to risk going to this place and not getting one of the only 4 good tables in the restaurant. Did tip because the staff and service was good.
Exquisite all around!
Don’t let the other reviews detract you from this amazing restaurant! A very ominous looking building on the exterior with a QR code reader to get in. Once inside, you’re greeted by Jake and other members of the Graphite team. Jake explains how dinner will go and also informs you of a few rules; mainly, no interior pictures to keep the mystique of the restaurant. After handing over your coats, you are escorted to your table. A very spacious yet intimate interior - you can see tables in the distance but can’t hear other conversations. Dimly lit, but just enough light above your table to gawk at the expertly crafted dishes presented in-front of you. Each table was perfectly set prior to our arrival with amazing cutlery, flatware and dishes. The half circled couch was extremely comfortable and allowed you to sit close yet both have an advantageous view of the preparation stations around you. Jake was our main waiter and the sommelier. We started with a cocktail then a bottle of wine. The second bottle we asked Jake for some recommendations and he did not disappoint, spot on recommendations for what we were looking for. Lastly, Jake asked if we wanted a wine with dessert - we politely declined and said that’s not something our palate likes. Jake asked if he could bring out something for us to try… I quickly redacted my statement from before; we fell in love with this wine (2017 chateau guiraud sauternes). Thank you Jake for sharing your incredible knowledge on wines! The food, out of this world. Each bite had so many flavors, textures and smells. Not only could you see your dish during preparation at the stations but you also got a very small and quick final assembly for each dish upon delivery at your table. The staff informed you of the dish as they were finalizing it; adding an oil, a vinaigrette, etc. We elected for the 12 course menu and were perfectly content with the portions; if not a little overstuffed. Every staff member was attentive, very friendly and knowledgeable about the food and/or the wine. Smiles and wonderful conversations were plentiful throughout our time there. In total I believe we had roughly 7-8 different staff members converse with us - food, drinks, normal conversation, etc. Highly recommend, go see for yourself - you will not be disappointed.
Totally unique.
This was a surprise visit for my 30th birthday my girlfriend and I had the 15 course taster menu and each dish was excellent. The service was very attentive with the chefs who built each dish coming over to give the explanation. The setting is very intimate and comfortable. Special mentions for the steak tartare, henne egg (shout-out to Chivenchio!) sweetbread, and lobster dishes which were all 10/10.
Beyond expectations
We stayed for a week in Amsterdam to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. We stayed at the Eden Hotel. I noticed that Graphite was to the side of the hotel and wanted somewhere special to celebrate the evening. Couldn't of chosen a better spot. From the moment we arrived we had an amazing experience from the decor to the food and service. Everything was top quality. I can't recommend graphite enough if your looking for a special evening in Amsterdam.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Graphite by Peter Gast Amsterdam at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Graphite by Peter Gast Amsterdam page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Graphite by Peter Gast Amsterdam to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Graphite by Peter Gast Amsterdam!
