Kreeftenbar — Restaurant in Amsterdam

We come here now and again to eat a half lobster and sushi and big noodle soups. It's a quirkly palce with it's disco design. But we are always surpised by how good it actually is. Gets better each time. And given what lobster cost in the rest of Amsterdam, it's a great deal at 20 euro for a half with a salad on the side. Okay, it's a small lobster but still. You can also choose from 5 different ways the lobster is prepared. And our server was a kind young woman with very good energy, which also made the expereince very enjoyable. Only criticism is that I couldn't find a way to reserve and sent an email but didn't get a response. Didn't matter because it wasn't busy but might be good to call to ressrve just in case.

The staff were friendly enough. It was clean but I would not recommend the food. I’m sorry to say that our meals were not very good. I had the spring rolls which were very oily.

None of the dishes tasted well seasoned either which in cooking is a basic. Again. Nice staff. Clean restaurant but looks like it was really quiet in there...

The tuna, salmon, squid and Prawns looked fine, but were quite sticky and had no odour, which suggest its a bit too old and had been rinsed/washed. So we didn't eat that. Same with the caviar. Didn't taste like caviar and was probably just crab spawn that has been coloured to look like salmon roe. The 'Makki roles were good though and both tasted and smelled fresh and nice. Would probably not come back if I'm honest, but it's a...
