This is the restaurant under Michelin recommendation! Restaurant is clean, fashioned, simple, and quieter than I thought! All of the seafoods are fresh! And get to taste the local seafood offering and local fish catch of the day! Very special experience! Different varieties of seafood than North America! read more

Excellent quality and variety of seafood ruined by a bland / flavorless preparation. Disclaimer - I'm from Nee Orleans where seafood is prepared the French way with loads of flavor. If you are the type of pert who enjoys salt free crackers and soups, then you might enjoy this place. However I found it to be almost inedible due to the lack of flavor. The seasoning seemed to be there for color enhancing rather than flavor, so outside of the lobster and shrimp it was unbearably bland. The hostess was extremely rude, so it's clear that they are treating tourists like one time only customers. I'd strongly recommend against this place despite it being a favorite among the locals. After all, how many Netherlands style cooking places do you see in your home country? None? There's a good reason for that. Perhaps this is why the act of holding someone's head under the covers while farting is called a Dutch oven as most of the food in the region does taste like a$$ read more

Wonderful worth going. Very nice. Food was delicious. Fairly priced. Nice table. Not such a good view.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to shove your face into the ocean and come up with different types of fresh seafood? If you eat at the Seafood Bar, it's pretty close to that experience. The seafood here is fresh and plentiful. The variety is simply outstanding. We had the Frutti de Mar which is a large tower of fresh chilled seafood. Clams, mussels, langostinos, lobster, prawns, snails and more. The variety is impressive and the flavors are incredible. It's like you died and went to seafood heaven. The Frutti Misto is the fried equivalent. Equally as good. If you love seafood, there is no better place to eat. Service was friendly and prompt. read more

Our hotel made our reservations at the closest Seafood Bar. There are several locations. Reservations really seem a must. We lucked out getting a table out front. We ordered the seafood grill tower so we had many hot and cold options. But after seeing other entrees everything looks amazing. Our waiter was attentive and professional. The food was plentiful, fresh and delicious. If I could, I would have come back more but there are so many great choices in Amsterdam to choose from. This should definitely be a MUST. read more

Amazing variety of seafood and a great value. I was amazed at how much food was included in our 2-person combo seafood tower! This was a very impressive and memorable meal. They have very limited cocktails, but a good wine list. It's sort of small and loud, but not uncomfortable. Service was not perfect, but totally acceptable. (A drink order was forgotten, and no one came over to empty our shell bucket until we were nearly done and it was overflowing). Overall, it was a fantastic meal, and I certainly would come back the next time I'm in Amsterdam. read more

We're actually in Amsterdam for four days . Had dinner at two seafood bar locations. The food was delicious and recently priced for what you got. read more

The service is not so good. They look so busy and don't have good intention to help the customers.

This is another place that I wanted to give a 5 & a 3. The service was fantastic, and the food was VERY good. However, they brought out the was incorrect, and one in our group never got his. Our server was kind enough to give us a free round, which did make-up for it a little. Do I recommend it? Well... maybe? Please see above. read more

Good seafood. Except for the shrimp, which was overcooked, mussels clams, etc. on point. Prices reasonable. Nice clean place. Would rate higher but the service was abysmal. From the snooty hostess to the glacier slow waiter, just a shit show from the jump. After seating I waited 10 min before I had to ask the hostess if a server was EVER coming. Finally showed. Not too long a wait for food, but after I finished, they collected the plate, I had to wait forever again to get the check, finally having to walk over and ask the server. Dogshit service even by European standards read more

The Seafood Bar - A nice meal tempered by awful service. - Seafood Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

This place is fire! My friend and I were able to drop by and snag a table before the dinner rush and was glad we did. This place ended up getting packed and it was easy to see why. Platters after platters of delicious, sumptuous, fresh sea food were continuously paraded from the seafood bar to hungry patrons ready to devour every sea critter imaginable. I wouldn't be surprised if Arya Stark herself came out yelling,"Oysters, clams, and cocklessss!" Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to one of their seafood platters or towers which are incredibly filling, full of variety, and simply delicious. I particularly liked the crab (which had the good good fat inside; I would've loved some rice with this) and the razor clams. I even topped it off with a gin and tonic which was really refreshing. Definitely recommend if you're in the Amsterdam area looking for fresh seafood! read more

The place was quite busy on a Saturday night. The portions for the entres were quite generous the only disappointment was the clam appetizer where the number of clams was lacking (no bread with the sauce either) Our waiter forgot to submit our order until after we finished our appetizer so to compensate he comped a round of drinks and threw in an order of bread to make up for it. would highly recommend the mixed grill for two as it had delicious mussels and so much sea bass! read more

Fish was tasty. Service friendly and helpful. Room is beautiful. It took close to an hour for meal to come to table. From observation, the mixed grills were faster to surrounding diners than our catch of the day. They ran out of a side we ordered and graciously comped our fries. read more

Fish n Chips - fish was tasty- a whole filet fried to perfection- the fries were lukewarm and a bit soft- Mixed seafood combo was alright- some shrimp was not fresh and had that dull texture and the very small sized shrimp was not fresh - the rest of the plate was ok - oysters were good- presentation was delightful- crowded - be sure to get a rez- but when in Amsterdam- I would rather eat Indonesian Rice Table or street food - seafood is just not epic here - read more

Came here for happy hour apps and was pleasantly surprised. As an oyster fan, they had a great variety of local and european oysters which I have never tried before for avocados very reasonable happy hour price. The lobster soup was a decent portion and the crab cakes were delicious but small for sharing. Very cute ambiance and nice staff- good for a date night. read more

Pretty solid and serving Alcohol free Chardonnay too for the NA crowd. Some cooked crustaceans overcooked and thus bit mushy. But everything seems impeccably fresh and service was perfect and friendly. A reservation is a must for dinner! read more

I was in Amsterdam for a day and actually found this place on yelp! It was packed, so my colleague and I opted for the bar. We had to wait a little while for service, but the bartenders were friendly. I got the mixed grilled seafood and a salad. Both were delicious. The fish was fresh and cooked and seasoned very well. read more

Fresh seafood, lively atmosphere, great wine. Must-try platters! Can get crowded--reserve ahead for best experience.

I really love good seafood. I really hate bad service. What a coincidence. I found both at Seafood Bar. Except for dessert. That lemon meringue pie was horrible. It had obviously been punished and relegated to a refrigerator, lonely and ignored for a few days. Maybe more than a few days actually, as evidenced by the dry lemon film on top. To make sure it was truly horrible, it was served a good 12 minutes after our coffee, which we had finished by then. No offer of refill, mind you. Then we waited another 15 minutes for the check, which finally arrived when we started to put our coats on. We decided to ignore their thinly veiled demands for a gratuity. I don't tip for bad service, never did, never will. read more

Feedback: This place has huge portions at a decent price. My favorites were lobster, snow crab, and gray shrimp. Love the tomato soup base of the mixed grill. Fish was grilled crisp on the top! Overall: 9 / 10 The Seafood Bar Spui 15, Amsterdam MAKE SURE TO MAKE A RESERVATION before you come:) #kellythefoodie #kellyinamsterdam read more

The restaurant is very nice and the service was great. Unfortunately the food was not good. I'm not sure why this restaurant gets such good reviews as the food was not good at all. I would not recommend eating here. read more

Boy, were we disappointed! This place was on a list of places to go, and my spouse lives by those darn lists... The hostess was cheerful when she found a spot outside for us on a recent busy evening but that was the high point of the meal. The Caesar salad was blah--we had expected some anchovies (it IS a seafood restaurant...) but NONE. The best were the fried fish 'kibbeling'. Sweet potatoes were just okay. Shrimp croquettes were just okay. Our waitress was often MIA. We won't be back and cannot recommend. read more

The Seafood Bar might have been my favorite meal in Amsterdam. I love seafood, and the quality here was excellent. The atmosphere is bright, cheerful, clean, and welcoming. The service was good, and the prices were reasonable for the quality (you get what you pay for, after all). The Seafood Bar - Spui location is convenient - in the canal ring and near plenty of attractions. We stopped in for a snack after our visit to the Heineken Tour. We ordered the Fruits de Mer, which was great to share. The seafood was a really nice variety, and several things I haven't tried before which was great. I especially enjoyed the prawns - they were so sweet and juicy! I have tried (and failed) to find them as good as The Seafood Bar since our visit. If you like seafood, The Seafood Bar needs to be on your list of places to eat while in Amsterdam. This was easily some of the best seafood I have ever had. read more

Service was fantastic, love the ambiance too. We ordered the crabcakes, great shareable size and flavor was spot on. We got salmon with roasted cauliflower, salad, and fries for sides. Would love to share a picture but we ate it too fast! Definitely recommend! read more

For Americans, The Seafood Bar is higher end than Red Lobster, but not as nice as Legal Seafoods or Salty's in the NW. The menu is great, but the quality doesn't deliver. We ordered a Combination cold and grilled seafood tower for two. Tons of seafood! But the quality? Meh... Not sure it was all local. The stone crab and other crab legs had been previously frozen, little clams were mostly not open, and lobster lacked flavor. We were hoping for a Salty's Seafood Tower experience, but not so much. They need to stick with what's local and in season. We also ordered a Caesar salad with avocado. But they were out of avocado. Rather than telling us, they made the executive decision to pour on avocado cream over an already over-dressed salad. We would have said no, but that didn't seem to be an option. The service was harried. I felt sorry for the waitstaff. There were too few doing too many jobs. What you don't want to witness is your waiter taking out the garbage. Too many times requests had to be made more than twice... They were nice, polite, respectful, and waaayyyyy toooo busy to attend to their tables. It was a fair experience, not a horrible meal, but we have no need to return. read more

So I was recommended this restaurant for dinner and after walking 1 km, tired and hungry, they told me the restaurant is closed! It was about 5 min after 10pm and the yelp stated 11pm. Not cool when tourist come to visit your city. I couldn't even get desert!!!!!!!! I could understand 15 min before closing but I'm by myself and it only 10pm people! I was Sooo pissed and ended up Ordering from wok to walk and enjoyed My meal! read more

Great quality, fresh food in a relaxing, contemporary atmosphere. Busy on a Sunday evening so service was a little slow.

This was supposed to be the best seafood restaurant in Amsterdam and from the crowds eating there and the line to get in you would naturally assume this is true. I found the appetizer good. It went down hill from there. I ordered the seafood grill which included several different fishes all with bones and tasting the same. There was crawfish and shrimp which had to be peeled which made for a very sloppy dining experience. We ordered calamari which came with our entrees and the sever apologized and took it off the bill. He said he forgot to order it. The ambience is adequate but it is a very huge facility. The biggest negative was the service. We had a reservation for 8pm but were seated at 8:30 and the hostess apologized and said she would give us free limoncello which we never received. We had to beg for the table to be cleared so we could order dessert but we became frustrated and decided to pay the check and leave. The busboy dropped a basket of forks on the floor right after a server had mopped it up with a dirty mop. Instead of returning them to the kitchen to be rewashed they went were put into use which helped us with our decision to skip dessert. I am hoping that this is not the best culinary experience Amsterdam has to offer and coming from amazing food in Italy we will be very disappointed. read more

What this place has: Fresh portions of seafood cooked to order, plenty of options, invigorating vibe, multiple locations, ability to order appetizers and drinks while you wait. What this place lacks: proper technique for sashimi (pieces were cut haphazardly), consistent service (our main waiter seemed to be too busy/ignore us although the rest of staff was great), a short line (go there by 6 for dinner if you want a seat within an hour). I think that quality of food at Seafood Bar is a notch above Legal Seafood and Hank's (my other reviews). Glad we went and felt that the price for fresh seafood was reasonable. read more

We ordered the kibbeling, crustaceans and shellfish in Pernod sauce, and an array of oysters. First off, the oysters were on point, though on the pricier side. The kibbeling were light, crispy, and paired well with the tartar sauce provided. The Pernod dish was also very flavorful and had a nice variety of shellfish that were cooked to perfection. Good spot if you're craving fresh seafood! read more

Seafood Bar serves up really fresh and tasty seafood and deserves to top your list of places to try in Amsterdam. I tried the king crab legs from the plancha and fish & chips. The king crabs legs were delicious. They even slice the shells for you so you don't have to spend a lot of time wrestling with the crab. The fish and chips were nicely seasoned and although it was classified as beer battered fish, the breading was extremely light and not greasy. They have a suggested wine pairing for each dish, which is a nice touch. Reservations are highly recommended. I dined at the Spui restaurant but there are other locations. Insider tip: Some locations are busier than others so inquiry about the wait times at each location. Definitely check this place out! read more

This is our second Seafood Bar to dine while in Amsterdam. Thought we were going our first location, yet this was closer to our hotel and equally great restaurant. Starters were shrimp scampi and local, Dutch oysters. Followed by the catch of the day, whole dorado prepared first on the grill and finished in the oven. Delicate, light and perfectly prepared. I was the holdout for the chocolate mousse w/ chocolate ice cream. Can't beat that! read more

A must-go when visiting Amsterdam! My husband and I recently spent a few days in Amsterdam, and Seafood Bar consistently popped up as one of the most recommended spots online. The reservation process was extremely easy via their website, and we got a table for dinner two days out. The service here is extremely friendly and efficient. After showing proof of vaccination, we got our pick of table. One of the staff also offered to turn up the heat when the seats we chose were in a chilly corner of the restaurant. As for the food - I highly recommend getting the Combination Tower (serves two). Hot and cold seafood choices just mean 2x the variety, and we ate up every single last morsel, leaving no periwinkle untouched. It's the perfect amount of food (with bread) and leaves just the perfect amount of stomach room for a stroopwafel outside. read more

By far one of the best places in Amsterdam to overdose in seafood! Not going to lie - Expect to wait unless you've made reservations. We were quoted a 40-50 minute wait time but lucky enough to snag 3 seats at the bar instead. The menu was expansive and it was hard to make up our minds. In the end, we settled on sharing our dinner family-style and ordered almost all the apps in the "Fingerfood" section along with an order of the Fruits De Mar for 1 person and a side of fries for good measure :) Everything was beautifully presented but the showstoppers were definitely the Fruits De Mar, the razor clams, the pulpo (octopus) and the grilled squid. I loved the fact that they carry different types of clams and scallops that we don't normally have in the states. The sashimi, crab cake and the shrimp croquettes were pretty good as well but more simply and traditionally prepared. Check out the seafood display they have in my pics. I randomly bumped into it on my way to the restroom and I've never been impressed by anything just by walking to a restroom before, ha! You'll see what I mean. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better dinner locale for our first night in Amsterdam. Highly highly recommended! read more
