Delicious! We did the set menu where you get to choose a starter (3 options), an entree (3 options) and any dessert. It was delish!! Definitely recommend this place. However, I also recommend making a rez. We tried going one night and there were only 2 seats available outside - next to a group of people that like to chain... More

Although you have to make reservation or you will wait for 2 hours to get a table, the very tasty sea food worth the effort. The service is good, the food is good and the clientele is pleasant. I am looking forward to my next visit.

This restaurant had very good service and a cool coral reef fish tank. Very fresh fish presented well.

Went here on the recommendation of the concierge of the hotel we were staying. Kind of wished we had asked him to make us a reservation, as when we got there, it was an another hour before we could get in. No worries, we found an outdoor cafe to have a cocktail before we went back.. There was a huge... More

But maybe that's because the first time I went, I had been overserved prior to going. Food is average,fish is fresh but uninspired dishes. Place is very popular, make a reservation. Although we heard the waiter at the table across from us telling the diners the specials and making recommendations, our left us on our own, we finally had to... More

You will return many times, like I have, to this dependable and enjoyable fish restaurant. Black and white tiles everywhere, wooden table and a large fish tank of exotic tropical fish (not for eating!) look best at night in this real find of a place (plaice?) Seafood and fresh fish are the things to order. A good wine list will... More

Very helpful staff and a very good menu; fish is what they do here. Saw the reviews in trip advisor and decided to go; definitely worth the visit. As a main course we had Dover Sole and it was expensive at €52,50 but it was large and the waiter recommended that we had it between the two of us; very... More

Charming staff! Excellent food! My hotel concierge and Rough Guide recommendations took me to Lucius and I was really delighted. As a single diner, I am always hesitant about choosing top-notch restaurants as they sometimes prefer couples, but this restaurant gave me a lovely table in the centre of the stylish but welcoming decor. I had a charming waiter. White... More

Just an average food at tourist location. Good service but quality of food is not what you would expect to have .

It was 21:30 hrs and it is normal not to have restaurant service after that time in Amsterdam. That was a bad news for us because we were hungry! We started waking and after several places we found this restaurant. We were not expecting to have that kind of service and seafood was incredible. I recommend this place if you... More
