The food was mediocre at best. The appetizers were good but the grilled seafood was gross. Also they seat everyone at the front tables just to make it seem that the restaurant is packed. The back of the restaurant is full of empty tables. Avoid! read more

Very fresh fish, lots of menu items, great staff, nice ambiance. Good idea to make s reservation.

We were looking for an amazing sea food experience once another restaurant recommended it to us that was near by it. We couldn't get in the first day because they said it was fully booked so we made reservations online since it was such a special place that we didn't want want to miss the experience since it was long time after the cv19 epidemic. I checked most the reviews to make sure We order the best food here. It is a total shock .... The food was served cold except the soup was warm, The taste is just OK not anything especial, the waitress & the staff kinda rude not pleasant to deal with or to feel welcome nor friendly . The price way expensive for a bar & cold food. The place is very clean & easy located to the center. read more

This spot serves fresh seafood and is a must try when visiting Amsterdam. The seasoning for the seafood is flavorful but doesn't overpower the natural taste of the seafood. Beautiful ambiance and great for dates! read more

Had a wonderful lunch at The Seafood Bar. We didn't have reservations, but they were able to seat us fairly quickly. We ordered wine, fresh bread with herb butter, and a cold seafood platter for two. It was huge, and we could not finish it. I felt the price was really good and the restaurant itself was lovely. It had a crisp, clean, bright interior. Service was excellent! read more

The Seafood Bar - Cold seafood Platter - Seafood Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Lived up to the hype! We couldn't get in on our first try but the receptionist made a reservation for us for the next day. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. Loved the ambiance of the restaurant-very clean and modern. Staff was friendly and nice which is important when you visit the popular restaurant in a touristy city. read more

The rating I'm giving has a reason, for the prices and supposedly level of this restaurant clearly they don't deliver as expected. We ordered the lobster soup and shrimp croquettes as a starter. The croquettes were delicious, crispy on the outside, hot and smooth on the inside and the sauce it came with was good too. The lobster soup flavor-wise was very good, but the soup was lukewarm when brought to us. A 14E lobster soup. Lukewarm? We nicely asked the server if they could heat it up, they brought it back a little bit warmer than lukewarm, but not as a soup should be served. Pitty. The salmon with leeks was good, but the leek sauce: lukewarm. That plate was ok, nothing spectacular, although the salmon had crispy skin and was cooked properly. And the cod fish and chips was fantastic. The cod was thinly battered and perfectly fried, juicy and delicious. The crushed potatoes we ordered as a side dish had little flavor, I had to use tons of salt. The bread and garlic/herb butter was great. Service was not what I would expect. We didn't even get water offered, although all the tables around us had a bottle. All in all, for a check of more than 100 Euro for 2 I think it is not in line with what you would expect. read more

The Seafood Bar - Seafood tower for 2 - Seafood Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Yes. All the yeses. Absolutely delicious seafood. Take a friend or two and treat yourself to something fun and delicious and maybe a little decadent. My sweetie and I got the chilled platter for two and it could have easily served three. I can't imagine what the platter for four would be like..... but then again, I would LOVE to try. Service was attentive but not clingy. All of which added to a really fun experience. read more

Very delicious, even if maybe a little greasy. Service was good, although our waitress seemed to disappear when we were ready to pay. read more

Looks great from the outside and seafood is fresh. Our Group got various plates and we all shared. It lacked flavor and was very bland.

A diamond in the rough. A great restaurant with a fresh cute vibe. Very fresh produce. Which is all good. The only real downside -- and its a huge downside or these palates -- is that the food utterly lacked taste. Really wanted to like this place more. In the end, I just couldn't warm to it read more

Great Fish! Waited a little bit but we'll worth the wait! Service was excellent! Highly recommend this restaurant!

The original tiny Seafood Bar is so successful that it recently opened this sister restaurant on Spui in Centrum Amsterdam. It has lots of al fresco seating as well as plenty of indoor bar seating. The dining room goes way back. It's deceivingly huge, yet every table was filled during weekday dinner. The long raw and ceviche bar was stuffed with a variety oysters, clams and other shellfish. The dining area displayed loads of fresh fish and shellfish varieties on ice as if you were at a fishmonger. So many choices! We started with 6 Fines de Normandie oysters and 6 Gillardeau oysters from Utah Beach and Charente-Maritime. The Gillardeau were the best oysters I've eaten in years and worth the extra cost. My razor clams appetizer was cooked to perfection. A whole pile of them on a plate! What blew me away was the Seafood Mixed Grill which was chef's choice. Chef chose well! Lobster, clams, cockles, scallops, tiger prawns, shrimp, whole sardines, salmon, other fish...I was so glad I switched my order at the last second and copied my friend Hugo D who has been here 3 times. I forgot the name of French white wine we had but it was excellent and complimented our meal. Service was excellent as well. The staff seemed to sense when we needed them, and would tag team and come even though the place was very busy. The Seafood Bar is definitely a great addition to the area. I'd say it is my favorite seafood restaurant in Amsterdam. I just hope the tourist masses don't discover it for awhile! read more

We happened into this place on King's Night. The wait was a hour and half. We got one of the high tables by the bar and got some of the appetizers to start. Oysters from four different places, the salmon tartar & grill shrimp. The wait didn't last as long and we got a table in about 45 minutes however, after the starters we decided to bail on the table. The food looks amazing but we were so hungry when we arrived we ruined our appetite with starters. The host was too the point and not that friendly but he was getting slammed. The servers were nice. Prices weren't bad. Next time in the area we would come with a reservation and enjoy the entire menu. read more

Pretty good option for a nicer lunch I'd say. I liked the mussels. Crab cakes are very small. Very good fries and not bad bloody mary. I will say there were a lot of flies around when we were there which was a little puzzling. read more

Amazing seafood, we visit this restaurant every time we visit Amsterdam and it never lets us down. I highly recommend getting the combination tray with the cold and warm platters. read more

One of the best meals we had while we were in Amsterdam. The service was impeccable. Leandro was awesome. So was the bartender and the manager. I'm so sorry I forgot their names. A must try for fresh seafood while you are in Amsterdam. read more

The freshest seafood, prepared simply. My wife and I shared a mixed grill off the plancha. Everything was good, although the salmon was a tad overcooked. read more

GREAT fresh seafood at this place! We got the cold platter and it was more seafood than we can eat and such a variety. The chardonnays they serve are also very nice an the freshly baked bread. Staff is nice and constantly cleaning to make sure you have the best experience. A true seafood heaven at this place!!!!!! If you have the opportunity I am recommending to go to this place. read more

We stumbled in here on Easter Sunday after the lunch rush. We were greeted immediately, informed of the fresh catch and shown to our seats. No wait at all. But then, we waited almost 15 minutes for our server. She approached our table just as I was telling my husband that we should leave. From then on, everything took a turn for the better for the most part. Our food arrived quick and everything was delicious. I had the Fish & Chips which was so fresh, crisp & not greasy. My husband had the Plateau with smoked eel, shrimp, two types of salmon and salad. He really enjoyed that as well. Everything tasted extremely fresh. With one beer and a cocktail, I believe it came out to about 45€. We found the prices to be very fair. Getting the check, took another 10 or 15 minutes after asking for it. But everything in between was great. I'll chuck the service issues up to it being a busy Sunday. read more

We were in Amsterdam prior to our cruise from the states. My wife was searching online for a seafood restaurant online. We stumbled on the Seafood Bar and decided to try on a Tuesday night. The place was full and we were able to get the last table along with our traveling companions. Wow were we impressed. I had the Fish and Chips, it was tender and delicious. My wife ordered the Salmon and it was cooked perfect. The out couple ordered the Fruite de mar seafood platter and it was out of this world. The highlight was our server Marjolijn who took the time to explain all the dishes and her personality was infectious and put us all in a great mood for out departure the next day. I would highly recommend trying this place out. We look forward to a return visit in the future. John & Cathy read more

It is a very famous place food in Amsterdam. Many tourists came for its high quality-price ratio. Seafoods are various and great. I ordered a fruit seafood bar which is an ensemble of all kinds. Fresh and delicious. The place is popular and highly crowed. Although the average waiting time will not exceed half hour. Make sure you have reservaion in advance. read more

Every trip to Amsterdam, I make it back to Spui. Their seafood is wonderful and always fresh. Service is great and folks are happy and enjoying the ambiance. Luckily, I've been here entertaining customers on multiple occassions and have had both the cold seafood and shellfish plates as well as the warm fish dishes. The wine list is also excellent! I love their Italian Red selection. Listen to the specials as the "catch of the day" is generally perfectly prepared and everything is wild caught. I think this is my favorite in Amsterdam. Ambiance 5 star Service 5 star Food 5 star I'd even say value per $ spent is 5 star---which is really rare! read more

I normally stay as far away from touristy style spots as I can but I was really in the mood for seafood and this place got good reviews despite being pretty close to the touristy center of the city. Holy hell am I glad we did. The food was great! We ordered a grilled seafood platter. Came with three whole fish (small ones), one whole lobster (that was pretty big), two large prawns, four shrimp, calamari and a bunch of vongole (clams) and mussels. Total for all of that was $70! read more

I got the worst food poisoning of my life here! Be careful! I don't normally leave mean reviews but I was so so so sick, the sickest I've ever been and I just don't want anyone to ever go through what I went through. read more

Recommended this place from a tour guide and also in a magazine! We came on a Monday night and there was still a bit of a wait for a table. We ordered the French seafood soup, sashimi of the day, Dutch flat oysters, the Mixed Grill (shrimp, squid, small Dover sole, king prawn, lobster, seabass, and mussels in tomato sauce), and fritto misto (deep fried shrimp, smelt, squid, and cod). All of the seafood tasted very fresh and delicious, but I was a little disappointed in the Dutch flat oysters. Given that the menu describes them as "the Rolls-Royce of oysters", I definitely had high expectations and they just seemed mediocre. And since they are served raw, there's really nowhere to hide. Other than that, everything else was great! I really enjoyed trying seafood served in so many different ways. read more

First time to this place, I was in town on business with my 4 co-workers. It was the best Seafood experience I've had in a long time! Everything was amazing from Apps, Entrée, to Desert. We had the shared cold misto Platter and the Hot Platter, all the seafood tasted fresh and the King crab from North sea was great. All my co-workers raved about how good the food was and sadly, we were not able to finish it all. Service was good, at times slow, but in the end worth the wait. NOTE- you need RES or you'll wait hours to get in this place. read more

We came to The Seafood Bar Spui after seeing their stellar reviews and I'm so glad we did. It was the best meal we had during our week long Amsterdam trip. It was absolutely a seafood feast! We went on a Friday for dinner and it was very busy with both tourists and locals. Luckily we were able to grab two seats at the bar. So make a reservation to secure a table if you go. We ordered a combination for two with both hot and cold seafood and we were very happy with our choice. We were amazed with the food amount and variety. For a similar meal in NYC, you'd looking to chipping in at least 150 bucks before taxes and tips. The combination was well worth it and you got to taste the best of both worlds. Between the two of us, we got to share a whole lobster (half chilled, half hot sautéed), two types of fish (one filet and one whole), tons of mussels, clams (including my favorite razor clams too!), shrimps, oysters, crabs, calamari, etc. Literally anything seafood you could think of were presented. And the menu is so flexible that you can mix and match to get different combinations to satisfy your appetite. Everything was super fresh and top notch quality. We especially enjoyed shell fishes such as mussels and clams. For the mussels back home in the US, I could not think of any other cooking method than boiling them in white wine to remove the fishy taste. Oh man, the mussels over here were simply steamed and chilled, but did not taste fishy at all. It was in fact so clean and sweet. I feel my vocabulary fell short here and cannot precisely describe how amazing it was - you gotta have to try yourself. read more

Went here on the recommendation of my friends, who live on Spiegel. I was not disappointed. I was just looking for a quick snack, and the freshness and variety of seafood was unsurpassed. Coming from a maritime heritage and location, it is not easy to impress, but this place checked all the boxes. Oh, and did I mention that the view out the window is amazing? read more

We had the fish and chips entree and steamed mussels. Both dishes were tasty and plentiful. We recommend this restaurant .

Just enjoyed the seafood soup. Amazing!! A true gem hidden in a somewhat trashy area in the red light district. You must eat here!!

We ordered a seafood tower. It was not good. Lots of strange little shellfish that was tedious to eat and tasteless. The crab and crab claws were mushy. What a waste of money. read more
