    Mussels and clams
    Dolores M.

    Excellent seafood, great wine list and the service amazing. I highly recommend. We started with staff's recommendation of the special - it was smoked hamachi, ocean trout, served with fresh bread (outstanding) and an anchovy butter and a seaweed butter. Can't say enough how delicious this starter was. Also, amazing wine! And so reasonably priced. I had the mussels and clams for my entree and the sauce was the best I ever had.

    Mushy peas are a must try.

    The Sea Bass was so good I highly recommended…read more Razor Clams were so fresh, if they were larger, it would be perfect. Still they were good size if you compared with another famous Seafood restaurant Seafood bar or Seafood Shop The cured cod was quite unique.

    Probably one of the best dinners I had during my trip to Europe this summer…read more Their menu is set up to be sort of like a sampling menu where it's recommended you order multiple dishes in order to be full. It's great for getting to try a lot of things! The servers here work really hard, during the dinner rush there was only 2 of them, therefore be a little patient! The wait is totally worth. Also, make a reservation if you can, they are very popular. (It was packed and we arrived 20 minutes early for our table) We ordered oysters, lobster, seabass (whole), scallops, green salad, bread, and at the end, french coffee. The highlight of the entire dinner were the razor clams. Absolutely unbelievable and a must order if you ever visit and it's on the menu! The coffee was extremely dark and we didn't finish any of it. But, being American, we probably should've known better and researched before we ordered. The creme brûlée was also very enjoyable! (Side note: all the creme brûlées I had in Europe were pre-made and not hot when they came out. Europe tingz?) The bill didn't come out to be outrageous at all and basically all we ordered was seafood... how? All in all, the perfect dinner to end my birthday. I'll be dreaming about this place for the next few years until I visit Amsterdam again.

    Visbar Beet - I copy pasted this from the FB page and have to say.. It does look as good as on the picture (and taste better then it looks).

    Nice staff working here. My visit here was late night on a Sunday, probably around 1 AM so I don't…read morethink it was the best time to visit. Post pub crawl food and ambiance. The only things that I felt that were a sure bet "good to eat" were the French fries (AKA Belgian fries) :) They were fried crunchy and the sauces are good. 5 Euro for a nice size medium paper cone full of fries (plenty for one person). They have at least 15 different sauces that you can choose, and some of them sounded a bit exotic... like a Thai peanut mayonnaise with onions. I tried the Belgian mayonnaise, which was a very rich mayo. The other fast food on offer, like the dürüm wraps, just didn't look that fresh and they were opening up plastic bags and taking the pre-sliced and cooked meat out and putting it into the wraps. This was actually about 2 minutes after I got there, and they announced they had stopped making sandwiches / wraps, and only were offering fries because it was late. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and think it's probably much better during the day. But the crunchy late night fries are good! And everyone seemed to be enjoying what they were eating. There is also a McDonald's next-door and a couple other sandwich fast food and pizza places that are open late a block or two away for more variety. This is a chain and there are several locations.

    Oh the bread on this Doner! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside with great flavor! The…read morechicken was plenty and the mix of sauce, onions and lettuce was satisfying. While most folks would order one for each person, my husband and I split this and had a couple of fries left over. Delicious!!

    What a fulfilling way to spend what was supposed to be a full day that unexpectedly turned into…read morejust five hours in Amsterdam. We had originally booked the Damrak 213 location but had to cancel due to a flight delay. Determined to make the most of our short time before heading to Paris the next morning, I chose this location because it was close to the areas we wanted to explore after dinner -- and I'm so glad I did. After reading on their website that they keep tables available for walk-ins at most locations, we decided to try our luck. As soon as my best friend and I walked in, we were not disappointed. The ambiance felt right immediately -- warm, inviting, and full of good energy. There was little to no wait, and the fresh seafood display at the front looked incredible. Vanessa was our lovely server and truly a whole vibe throughout the evening. She, along with "Mr. Champion," gave us great suggestions on where to walk and explore next -- and we absolutely took their advice. I love a menu where you can order and split a little bit of everything with a friend, and every single dish was perfection. The shrimp croquettes, king prawns, asparagus, roasted carrots, and fish and chips (kibbeling) were all served hot, fresh, and packed with flavor at a very reasonable price. The kitchen was run by a Black chef who was clearly putting in serious work and completely understanding the assignment. I wanted to personally commend him, but he was fully locked in and busy creating magic. Even the espresso martini stood out -- easily one of the best I've had. Great, relatable conversations, amazing food, and the evening ended on a sweet note with a complimentary lemon crème brûlée served with sparkles. This spot is truly a neighborhood gem. I'm so glad we chose this location -- it turned a rushed travel day into a memorable night dining with some true champions. We can't wait to return with more time to fully enjoy the experience.

When I walked in, there was only one person at the entrance, and I was completely ignored. A family ahead of me was immediately seated, but I had to wait and try to get someone's attention--it took quite a while. I was finally seated at the bar, which was fine since I was alone, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I was an inconvenience. Everything, from getting a drink to ordering food, felt like a struggle, and the staff didn't make me feel welcome at all. The food was okay--I've had better--but the overall experience left me feeling unwelcome, and I couldn't wait to leave. I'm genuinely surprised by the high reviews, because I felt quite the opposite. I'm not sure I'd recommend this place or come back
