Not bad for a seafood chain restaurant, at least compared to the chains in the United States. Not exactly a hyper local restaurant as it was mainly other tourists dining there, just to give you an idea. Reservations were easy to make online. We arriv
Seafood craving satiated.
We showed up in a rainy day without a reservation and they were able to sit us promptly. We started with oysters and Calamari. Both were exceptional!! Fresh and tasty. For the main course we shared a mixed grill and added a couple of 1/2 lobste
What a treat!
After a day of walking, and dodging speeding bikes (!) we treated ourselves to a seafood meal. For me, it was a particular treat as I indulged in a platter of varied types of oyster - and what a pleasure it was. My wife's smoked salmon & ma
Ordered the raw bar platter and it was disappointing.
Poor quality crustaceans and seems as if they didn't clean the mussels and clams properly. Tasted dirty. Crème brule was also flavorless and chunky texture.
Delicious food is gorgeous setting!
Fantastic experience! Gorgeous building, lovely table. Service was exceptional! Mauricio took amazing care of us and was so sweet! He even helped us find a place for my husband to watch the soccer after dinner. He also was very well versed on the his
Lovely experience
Just a lovely evening sitting at the bar stuffing ourselves. Seriously great food and great service. I highly recommend.
A great place to eat that looks like it might be a tourist trap but was not
We visited on our last night in Amsterdam. We split the house oysters, the scampi salad and the bass. It was all excellent!

Great food ! Went there 2 times in a row when I was in Amsterdam with my best friend ! Can't wait to go back!!! Miss the food there !
Seafood Paradise
We weren’t sure at first because we thought we would be underdressed but we’re happy that we did stop by anyways. This was one of the highlights of our visit to Amsterdam. My husband and I got the mixed grill for 2. My husband is very particular
More than 5 stars
Amazing!!! The atmosphere was sheek and comfortable. The seafood tower was delicious. Our service from Irvan made the entire experience just perfect.
Extremely fresh seafood at this famous Amsterdam restaurant.
The seafood was all perfectly prepared with precise attention to detail. The service was excellent as well, the wait staff was extremely helpful and their recommendations were dead on. I will be returning to this restaurant on my future trips to Amst
Absolutely delicious food in that Seafood Bar spot in
Absolutely delicious food in that Seafood Bar spot in Amsterdam. The seafood was fresh, tasty, and well balanced in flavors and variety. The bottom plate was all cold cooked or raw seafood, and top plate was grilled. The portions of the seafood and t
We had a lovely meal here on our final night in Amsterdam.
Service was great, and the fish dishes were fresh and well prepared. Very lovely restaurant, too- half the fun was watching the kitchen prepare the food. A little expensive compared to other places we ate, but it was delicious.
This place is amazing.
The service and staff number 1 and the food was exquisite! Excellent. The price super good for the quality . Highly recommended

Not only is the restaurant inviting and warm, but the food is so delicious. We had the grill seafood tower and our only complaint was that we ran out of bread to soak up the red sauce. Honestly so flavorful.

I wasn't feeling too well so ended up not getting any seafood, which was a bummer. I ended up just ordering the pumpkin ravioli with butter and sage sauce and that was amazing. Would def come back to try the seafood!
Nice seafood dinner
Had reservations but didn’t need them, was well informed of the food selection. Had a seafood platter and was good but different from what I’m used to. Oysters were excellent
Wonderful atmosphere and excellent service.
Vanessa was awesome we said we weren't to hungry and she helped us order. The seafood was lovely the oysters were our favorite so we ordered a few more! Thanks goes to the service and staff.
Amazing place
Excellent food, fresh fishes, beautiful design place, nice staff. Best place in Amsterdam, we loved it! Better to make a reservation!
Very good fish restaurant
I went to this restaurant with my family. I want to say that the employees are kind and the service is fast. But what we really liked was the food. Very fresh fish and sufficiently generous portions. Also very interesting recipes. As a conclusio
Very pleasant surprise. Excellent!
I found myself there by chance and we were looking for a place to eat. I read your reviews and I was intrigued. The quality of the fish is excellent, we ate very well and the value for money is right. I was really happy!
Seafood Cravings
The best vongole I've ever had. At first, I was skeptical as they did not serve with angel hair pasta, instead it was the regular thin pasta. The taste was magnificent, full of body and aroma with generous servings of clams. There is not a slightest
Great spot for fish
I really enjoyed my evening here. I ordered the cod because it was one of the cheapest items on the menu and it was delicious and filling. The staff were nice despite being very busy.
Yummy
We had delicious fruit de mer and champagne. Philip even peeled the shrimps and took apart the lobsters for us! Really delicious food and top service by Philip!!!!
For all fish lovers, you need to sample the menu
Great customer service, lovely ambience. Generous portions. Due to its popularity, you do need to book Will definitely come back again
Trip to Amsterdam Apr 2024
This is second time have visited this restaurant. The food is fantastic and delicious specially our server Sev is great. She suggested the grill octopus is the best I have ever have.
Thank you!
Thank you very much Irvan for the great and friendly service! Looking forward to next time! Highly recommend, very happy
Ok but promised so much more
Having arrived in Amsterdam we were looking for somewhere to eat for our first evening and saw the Seafood bar. This is a nice looking restaurant unpretentious and welcoming. Staff were very friendly and efficient. Our waiter was lovely. Sadly the fo
The seafood bar - good food but may need some improvement
We went to the one in Amsterdam around 7:30p on Tuesday for dinner. The place was packed. We had a party of 12 people and were split into 3 tables of 5,5,and 2. We didn’t have to wait long for the tables. Our table of 5 ordered 3 lobster soup, scal

We visited The Seafood Bar as it was nearby to our hotel, received great reviews and looked great from the outside. However, we were really disappointed with the food. While our starters were ok (the crab cakes were really nice), it was our mains t
Randomly walked in and was happy with my food selections.
After listening to the waiter's recommendations, I chose two appetizers: the lobster soup and octopus. The octopus was my fav. I had the Paloma mocktail which was very refreshing. Staff were attentive and the meal was reasonably priced. Would defin
Warmth and hospitality
What a fantastic experience. My wife and I enjoyed a cold Sunday afternoon in the warmth of the hospitality at The Seafood Bar. The Irish oysters were to die for and the mixed grill was amazing. Great service from the whole crew, particularly Saskia.
Great Seafood and Friendly Service
The seafood was excellent and our waiter was delightful. We took a chance not making reservations because we went early (noonish), but the place was packed by the time we left.

Definitely not my sort of restaurant its ALL seafood which is to no ones surprise given the name. The place is very small and packed with tables so just walking around is a pain plus the service was on the slower side given that it wasn't super busy

Our experience was just as good as the first time we went, which was at a different location. We happened to pop in during happy hour and was able to get oysters basically half off. We were seated immediately despite not having a reservation. 2 dozen

Food was ok, but the service really made the food tastes less good than it should. Lower your expectations. Unfriendly service, make sure you look your bill through when you pay, because they might " accidentally " over charge you and won't
A very clean restaurant.
We did make reservations the day before since we saw it packed the previous nights we walked by. The staff are efficient and nice. We had the Lobster Soup and Crab Cakes to share. The Lobster soup wasn't really as creamy as I'm used to but still good
I'm shocked.
This restaurant is not only highly recommended on yelp, but if you research good restaurants in Amsterdam this restaurant will likely be in the top ten of the list. That said...maybe I was there on an off day? First I will say that their service wa

Can't recommend this place enough.
Vibe is great, super comfortable and modern and lively. Service was top notch. Had the fruits de mer platter with the lobster and it was incredible, insanely fresh and delicious.
excellent mussels and espresso martinis.
sat at the bar on a weekend afternoon and it was pleasant and speedy.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Seafood Bar Amsterdam at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Seafood Bar Amsterdam page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* BraveCloth47, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* BraveCloth47 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to BraveCloth47 for any questions Peter may have as BraveCloth47 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* BraveCloth47 now uses their connections at The Seafood Bar Amsterdam to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If BraveCloth47 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, BraveCloth47 receives the $200 reward which is credited to BraveCloth47's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Seafood Bar Amsterdam!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
