Mr. David
It was a real pleasure to visit a fish restaurant in Amsterdam. The restaurant is located in a wonderful spot with a beautiful view of the street, which creates a lively yet cozy atmosphere. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the staff. They kindly introduced the fish of the day and explained what was available to order, which immediately made us feel taken care of.
We started with oysters, calamari rings, and pieces of fried fish as appetizers. I can honestly say I have never tasted calamari and fish prepared so perfectly before — wow, simply outstanding. The flavors were fresh, well-balanced, and beautifully cooked. The main fish dishes served with risotto were absolutely unforgettable. I can hardly find the right words to describe how delicious they were — everything was cooked to perfection, rich in flavor, and presented beautifully.
Considering the high standards shown in the food quality, service, and overall atmosphere, I do have a few remarks that could make the experience even better. Our table had not been fully cleaned, and there were visible marks left by glasses. One of the plates had a small chipped corner, and the champagne glasses could be of slightly higher quality. I also believe that white tablecloths would elevate the restaurant to an even higher level of elegance. Additionally, the preparation time could be improved, as we had to ask a few times when the main course would arrive — waiting 1.5 hours felt a bit too long.
Overall, despite these small details, the food was exceptional and left a lasting impression. With a few improvements in presentation and timing, this restaurant could easily offer a truly flawless dining experience.

A great find for our last day in Amsterdam. Seafood grill platter was great, fantastic flavour and well made. Red snapper risotto was the special we got and it really hot the spot. Scampi pasta was fantastic too. Klevis was absolutely a fantastic server. Would definitely come back!

My boyfriend and I had dinner here and it was a lovely experience. I really enjoyed the atmosphere — it’s a very pleasant and comfortable place for a nice evening.
The waiter was extremely kind, professional, and well prepared, which made the experience even better. The food was good, and the wine list was also quite nice.
I would definitely recommend this place for dinner. It has a great atmosphere and is perfect for a relaxed evening out.

First of all, huge shoutout to Aby for being a wonderful, friendly, helpful server! Amazing experience all around. The service was genuinely excellent — friendly, attentive, and efficient without ever feeling rushed. The atmosphere was bright, clean, and relaxed, making it an easy place to settle in whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or taking a break during a busy day in the city.
The food was fresh, well-prepared, and consistently solid. I’ll be upfront and say I’m a bit of a snobby foodie, so I tend to be picky — but for what this place is aiming to be, it absolutely delivers. Portions were generous, flavors were balanced, and everything felt made-to-order rather than mass-produced.
It’s exactly the kind of spot you want when you’re in Amsterdam and need something reliable, fresh, and satisfying without committing to a long sit-down meal.
Would happily come back and recommend it to anyone looking for fast, fresh food done right — especially if you want something healthier and well-executed without sacrificing convenience.

I ordered the Mixed Grill for one person, and the seafood was incredibly fresh. The fish was sweet, juicy, and very delicious ( from someone who doesn’t usually like fish that much, this was a pleasant surprise.)
Both the shrimp and the king prawn were excellent, with naturally sweet and firm meat. The mussels in tomato sauce that came with the dish were also much better than I expected. Overall, I’d give the food a solid 10/10. For anyone who thinks the portion might look small in photos, don’t be fooled, one plate is actually very filling, so I’d recommend not ordering too much.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was also very nice, elegant and lively. There was constant conversation around, but it wasn’t noisy or disturbing at all, which made it very pleasant.
The first staff member who assisted me was a very tall woman at the reception (I forgot to ask her name). She was friendly, polite, and very helpful. The main server at my table was Isha, and her service was excellent and professional.
****Reservation is highly recommended. If you don’t book in advance, you may not be able to get a table. When I arrived, I saw two walk-in guests ask the staff if they could dine in, but the staff shook their heads and informed them that the restaurant was fully booked for the day. So it’s best to make a reservation beforehand to avoid disappointment.

The food was amazing, and the fish was fresh and cooked to perfection. We ordered the mixed grill with lobster, and it couldn’t have been better. Even though the restaurant was busy, the atmosphere was relaxed and never felt overwhelming or loud. The food was served quickly, with no long waiting times.
A special shout-out to Klevis, who took great care of us throughout the evening. He was incredibly friendly and attentive. His service truly made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

We had a really wonderful experience at Sea-Food Restaurant. We were greeted by our waiter, Jordy, who was extremely polite and welcoming.
We had the catch of the day, which was seabass and fillet fish, served with delicious accompaniments. For dessert, we enjoyed a fantastic dessert and coffee.
All in all, a very positive experience in terms of service, food, and atmosphere. I can highly recommend this restaurant.

I was hesitant to go here at first because of some negative reviews online, but I’m glad I went here in the end — the experience was wonderful. I had 1 person mixed grill. The seafood was delicious and very fresh. The seabream and king prawn were especially tasty, and the sea bass and others were also very good. Sitting by the window was a lovely experience, with a beautiful view of the street that made the meal even more enjoyable. Elise provided excellent service. She was attentive, warm, and always with a friendly smile. Overall, a wonderful dining experience.

We booked the restaurant 5 days before our trip to Amsterdam. Our table was at the back of the restaurant, with no view, right by the wall. But since we came to enjoy good food, we didn’t get upset. There were four of us.
We ordered the seafood platter for €144 (two shellfish). It was tasty, but the portion was quite small than we expected for that price. Next time, we would rather order one of those to share and then each have a separate fish dish.
The service was great — our waitress, Tallula, was very friendly and kind. We liked the restaurant a lot. It’s located right in the center of Amsterdam, with an amazing location. We’ll definitely visit again.
It would be wonderful if there were an option to choose the exact table when making a reservation — that would be amazing, as you’d know what to expect.
The seafood was fresh. We also tried the soup of the day and the salmon tartare — both were delicious.
