Couldn't finish (left the sturgeon shrimp and crayfish) Wife had lobster soup, vongole, and my 6 oyster supplement and half my lobster half. She also had chocolate bavaroise dessert. Highly recommended!

So came here for dinner and got the shrimp scampi! Tasted just as good as it looked! Lots of shrimp, garlic, other stuff, etc. Excellent. Lots of other seafood choices, they seem to specialize in the mixed grill / seafood tower type dishes. It all looked good. There's a counter at the front where you can pick out your dinner. Reasonable prices for what you get, really good selection of wine by the glass. Good looking and friendly staff. Five stars!

Very nice meal; nothing ground-breaking, but the service is as friendly and efficient, and the food…read moreitself is well-prepared. We particularly enjoyed the mains - while they don't debone the sole for you, the flavor/prep is excellent (pan seared and covered in fried capers - nom); the cod was also excellent (flaky, moist flesh; crispy skin; delicious veg accompaniments). Last but not least: the air conditioning is arctic - in these summers of intense heat across Europe, it's a real respite.

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.

Very cool experience here. Upon checking in you're given the low down on how it all works and given…read morea can of sardines with your table number written on it. A fun keepsake! 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. Service came with a smile and you can't beat the novelty and ambiance!

The service was excellent. Floor was personable and made us feel welcome. And the seafood (a combination hors d'oeuvres, tuna steak, plaice, potatoes and vegetables) was fresh and tasty. The dessert and Irish Coffee were a perfect ending to our meal. We will make a point of coming back to Zandvoort next time we are in North Netherlands. It was THAT good! And... the town of Zandvoort and seaside are beautiful!
