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.

Coffee: Damn good. Salmon-mousse: delicious creamy appetizer. Seafood platter: really nice smoked/chilled bites between the appetizer and entree. Fish-of-the-day: really flavorful smoked salmon served with incredible tomatoes, buttery potatoes, and salad. White wine: refreshing. Banana tarte with coconut ice cream: Wowowowow.

The service was excellent and the waitress was warm and friendly albeit a quiet evening for the establishment. The menu offers a nice range and is very well priced.

This shared dining experience is very memorable!…read more From picking the fish to the side dishes, we were guided through the process. It's honestly a surprise from the moment we arrived, because there wasn't a set menu and we didn't know what to expect! The food came out quicker than expected. The seasoning of everything was on point. The fish was fresh and cooked to the right tenderness. My husband and I finished everything (like no bite left behind) in 90 minutes! (You can see how big the fish was in the photo!) I got to say on a side note that the seats are quite small and uncomfortable. I should have taken advantage of their coat area. I was out and about for 6 hours and bought a ton of stuff from museums and markets. There was not enough space for me to put my stuff at my seat at all. The final touch was the free ice cream cone at the end. Andddd I should have asked if I could kept the sardine... unfortunately, I haven't been able to find it here in the U.S.

You choose your seafood and they tell you how it will be served. The seafood is weighed and you're given a tally of your meal. You also choose a selection of sides to go with your dinner. Once you choose your seafood you go to the wine bar and choose your drinks. We chose a pasta side orecchiette with pesto sauce and curried cauliflower. For our main dish, we chose the seabreem. We started with scallops and calamari which were both delicious and our seabreem was perfectly cooked. It would be nice to have more than one option as to how our fish could be made but all in all everything was fresh and well prepared.

Searching for a restaurant for lunch, we walked by The Seafood Bar, which showcases its range of seafood in a glass case. They had everything we could imagine, so we knew this was the place. I found out later that they have other locations across Amsterdam, but this one is nicely situated in a toney neighborhood, and its clean modern interior also recommends it. Their service is orchestrated, as they work as a team, from seating, drinks order, and so on. They are efficient and attentive. I highly recommend the seafood tower, which is a great shareable, giving you a taste of the unique shellfish found in Atlantic waters.

With a shared bottle of nice Chardonnay, the meal cost around 33 Euros per person.

Hubby ordered the sea bass for dinner and I ordered the cod. The sea bass was a whole fish, tender, juicy, and seasoned just right with salt and pepper. The cod had a crispy skin and when eaten with the mustard sauce and spinach had a great taste. For desert, we ordered the chocolate cake. The cake was presented beautifully wth blueberries and raspberries. The cake was dense and made with dark chocolate. It was not bitter nor sweet. Perfect. A must try in Amsterdam.

The herring here is about the same as you'll find anywhere, but what I find disappointing is their cooked fish. If you get any cooked fish here, such as frites/fish sticks, or kibbeling, they reheat it in the microwave, which leads to spongy soggy fish that makes me sad. If you take the fish home to heat up in the oven it might be ok, but I advise against eating warm fish that's been heated up in the shop.

I'd come back here and eat again.
