I used to work that at one time. Any restaurant in Amsterdam that is open
is great, but the real jewels are out in the small towns. Zandvoort, the
beach town, has lots of them. Wilma en Albert Steak House in Haarlem served
some of the most memorable meals of my entire life. Both places are an easy
drive out and back to town. In any good restaurant in The Netherlands, you
need to get there by seven pm and wait at the bar to get a table. Dining
starts at eight, and the table is yours for the night. If you are dining in
Amsterdam avoid  Central Station at night. I don't remember any good
restaurants down there anyway.

One decision is what kind of food. they have every nationality, including a
few native "dutch" restaurants that serve small wild game as a traditional
food. But the French and Chinese restaurants are outstanding, and in
Amsterdam you will find excellent Japanese and even Mexican.
