Bar & Restaurant At Sea in Wijk 05 Buitengebied Dronten

Nice restaurant in a beautiful location; had lunch here. The food was tasty, but there was limited choice regarding sandwiches. There was plenty to choose from otherwise, but the sandwiches were limited. In nice weather, it is lovely to sit outside. If you arrive by boat, you can moor here.

Had a delicious meal here on Sunday...nice all those little bites and so much choice. Lovely table in the beautiful conservatory...will be back soon. Ben and Tilly's Art Studio

We were last there a few years ago and the food wasn't that good back then... it must have been teething problems... We've been there for the second time now and I don't think it's an improvement yet. It's a real shame, because the location is perfect for presenting food well. It was also very clear that there wasn't enough kitchen staff present, which is why the hostess came to say that it could take half an hour for dessert... I wasn't in a hurry and yet indeed... 35 minutes later our dessert arrived... that one was tasty, though. Don't be shocked when paying the bill either...

It's a shame, but many mistakes are made here in eventually bringing the right drinks and food. Having to make four attempts to get the right bread board or the right water really shouldn't be necessary. The food was good, though.

What a great place, with cheerful and friendly people who really go out of their way to give you a pleasant meal. The food was delicious, although there wasn't a huge selection of vegetarian dishes. Also recommended: book an escape room beforehand; it was well-designed and the lady who took us through it was also fun! And finally, the view: so relaxing right by the water. This place is highly recommended!

Super beautiful restaurant with a beautiful view

Really good food, nice atmosphere. A very cozy place by the water.

Very tasty and super friendly staff.

We had to wait an hour for our food for a small piece of meat and a scoop of mashed potatoes. There is no air conditioning, and it was extremely busy. Fans were only aimed at the staff. It also took a very long time before we received our drinks and the menus. I won't be coming back here; it's way too expensive.

Surprisingly delicious dishes. Beautiful location, both inside and out. And the service was excellent! Very friendly and helpful.

The food was a bit disappointing, and how grumpy can you be when you have to work on a beautiful Sunday?

Table for 3 reserved at 7 pm. Before you get anything to eat or drink, you need patience. The shared dining concept is very unclear. If you then want pesto on the carpaccio instead of truffle mayonnaise (🤮), you are told that if pesto isn't on the menu, they don't have it. Next round, took a while, asked again if they had forgotten about us, ordered steak... taste was okay, execution really bad! A grey lump of meat (certainly not 180 grams as stated on the menu) with a dollop of mashed potatoes next to it, something that was supposed to look like carrot, and a questionable piece of purple cauliflower or broccoli. It looked like it had been moved from plate to plate at least 3 times. In short, a super disappointing end to our holiday and we spent almost 200 euros! They won't see us there again.

Really a top-notch place! Friendly staff, cool owner! Had a delicious and cozy meal! You can moor here and there is shore power; if you ask nicely, they will turn it on for you. Visit this place!

Lovely restaurant, beautiful view and good food

Had a delicious meal with the group, cozy atmosphere, beautiful view, quite warm though no air conditioning, but a breeze from the water

A perfect place for a delicious meal. I was here three weeks ago for my bachelor party to grab a bite to eat. It was perfectly organized, and I thoroughly enjoyed the food sharing. Furthermore, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, happy to think along with you.

Nice setting where you can sit beautifully by the water

Beautiful lunch spot by Lake Drontermeer. Had a delicious salmon toastie and a soup.

Nice place for a drink, but better to skip dinner here. Price/quality totally out of balance. One-time experience.

Interesting menu. Great atmosphere and very friendly service.

We sat here for 20 minutes. Other people came in hungover and were helped immediately, while we were left out in the cold. Incompetent staff. They didn't even realize we had left.

Fine lunch. Unfortunately, very bad/sour orange juice.

Really enjoyed it, took it easy with our food, did 4 rounds in total. So nice, the peace and quiet and then that breeze. Wonderful!

This time a less than stellar experience. The salmon sandwich was very disappointing, hardly any salmon. Specifically, two slices of white, overly thick toasted bread with large chunks of iceberg lettuce. Waited a very long time before the order was taken.

We weren't helped, I think there was too little staff or something like that; they didn't want to speak to us either.

Had a delicious meal with a beautiful view and friendly staff.

It was lovely for a while, as a perfect ending to a beautiful day.

Had a tasty meal! It was busy but everything was under control. The fries from the kids' menu were cold, but we got new fries. Otherwise, the food was tasty, nice place, looks good.

The sun was shining, but it was quite windy by the water. We were sitting on the terrace at first, but we really wanted to sit more out of the wind. The children wanted to play in the sand and water, so I had asked the wait staff outside: "Can we sit inside around the corner?" (Inside around the corner; the glass sliding door was open, and it was literally 2 meters away from the table on the terrace.) I explained that we could see our children well by the water from there, but that we found it a bit too cold in the wind. That was fine, and she said it was allowed. Five minutes later, another lady arrived and said: "You are not allowed to sit here." I said: "Well, I just consulted with your colleague, and she thinks it's fine." To which she replied: "Then I will speak to her about that, because this isn't open until 6:00 PM." It was literally 5:15/5:30 PM, but no matter what we tried, this lady insisted: "We cannot serve you here; this is not open." I said again, ‘it is literally 2 meters away from the other table,’ but she remained adamant. My husband was so fed up with it that he said, ‘Then we’ll just leave, because if it has to be like this...’ She turned around and walked right away from us. We left and won't be coming back here!! We live in the neighborhood, the location by the water is beautiful, so we regularly had a drink or aperitifs with friends, but if it has to be like this, it’s really over! We have already spoken to several people about this who are also really shocked by it and say, ‘we aren't going there again.’ And it is a shame, but from our side, there will be no more recommendations for you. We will share the honest story. It is incredibly unfortunate that it has to be this way. Absolutely no advertising and no customer friendliness! Teach your staff how to handle situations and to adapt a little when necessary.

The concept of the menu is fun and different from the norm. This allows you to try various small dishes, so there is something for everyone. We found it difficult to estimate how much to order, as the quantities per dish were not listed.

We have lunch here several times a year; great food and prompt and friendly service.

A lot went wrong on Sunday, April 19th. We ordered Aperol Spritz. They didn't have what was on the menu. We ordered white bread with the croquettes, but it was brown. We ordered tartar for 2 people, but it was only enough for 1. 3 people already had their dish, and the 4th person had to wait at least 25 minutes for their food... all in all, it was very pleasant, but the food and drinks were rubbish.

Yesterday we enjoyed a fantastic Easter brunch. Everything was very well taken care of and the brunch was delicious. It was also an experience for the grandchildren to search for eggs with the Easter bunny. Really well organized. We will definitely be back. Thanks!!

They claim to be all-inclusive. It took over 10 minutes for the waitstaff to arrive, and they rather bluntly indicated that they do not serve the side where we were seated (which was not indicated anywhere). 10 for the willingness to eat something, 2 for the execution. My partner has diabetes and really needed something to eat/drink. So, not here. I would say just skip it. Oh yes, the staff is quite large but seems to be more focused on themselves huddled together than on the guests. Never again...

We were really surprised, had a delicious meal at a beautiful location. Excellent.

We went for a walk from EuroParcs on Tuesday morning. The place was open; I asked for a cup of tea, but that wasn't possible. It turned out there was a mistake on the website. They aren't opening until Wednesday this week. So, after an hour of walking, no cup of tea. Very poor service, actually no service at all, when you, as staff, are drinking coffee yourself. Is it really that difficult to offer a cup of tea with apologies for the inconvenience?

Shared dining is a fun experience with different delicious food.

Great location, spacious, and good food. A good lunch menu with plenty of choices.

The food was cold, and what we got wasn't worth the money. No, never again.

We were surprised by the option to choose the sharing option. What a wonderful opportunity to have a three-course meal. And the food, the ambiance, and the staff were a fantastic experience. We will definitely be back!

We went with our family (two children aged 7 and 9). We really enjoyed the delicious sharing dishes. We loved the flavors and the way the plates were presented. Even the fries were particularly delicious. Friendly, enthusiastic staff who are great with children. The decor is lovely and warm, and the view is fantastic. We highly recommend it!

Very friendly staff. Good and tasty food!

Beautiful location, the lunch menu had good choices, but the food was a bit disappointing this time. The temperature in the conservatory was very chilly, which was a shame.

Beautiful location, friendly service. The food (in our case, lunch) was very good.

Today we attended the dinner show with William Janz. It was originally supposed to be a surprise for my parents, but unfortunately, my mother got sick and they couldn't come. I had inquired beforehand whether the evening would be suitable for seniors. They said it would be one of the quieter evenings due to the nature of the music. In retrospect, I'm glad my parents weren't there. The venue is beautiful and very atmospheric. Several singers performed, and all of them were of good quality. However, William Janz himself was on stage for less than half an hour. We felt that was a bit short. Unfortunately, the atmosphere changed when the DJ started playing music of a completely different genre. This made it less enjoyable and even a bit disruptive, which was why we decided to cancel. Now, we're still young at heart and enjoy being on the dance floor with good music. But it sometimes felt like a party for young people. Personally, we didn't really like the food. Considering the price, we clearly expected more. On the plus side, the staff is incredibly friendly and clearly makes an effort. They've also lowered the price, and we're grateful for that. All in all, a mixed experience: a beautiful location and good artists, but the different musical performance and the food's value for money were disappointing.

Delicious food, great that the dog can come along.

Delicious food in a nice atmosphere and friendly staff

Cozy location with a beautiful view over the Veluwemeer.

Great opportunity to party, have a romantic dinner and sail with the electric boats, highly recommended

We had a wonderful meal here with a few friends during our weekend getaway. They had delicious shared dining dishes. The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and helpful. We weren't bothered by the wedding reception in the hall. The soundproofing is excellent. So, highly recommended for a delicious and cozy meal.

After having been here several times, we knew for sure: we absolutely had to celebrate our wedding here! And then, on August 22nd, our special day arrived! What a fantastic day we had at Sea. All the conversations beforehand were very pleasant. The day itself was also very well organized! On our day, the outdoor tap broke, but we didn't notice anything. Fantastic! We recommend everyone to celebrate their special day here! Brenda, thanks for everything, see you soon!

Portions are small. Prices are high. Right on the water. That's nice.

The clothes of some waiters are very casual

The food wasn't brought to both people at the same time, and after a while we had to ask where the second meal was. No serving spoons were provided with the vegetables and fries. The stir-fried broccoli was in large chunks, so it wasn't cooked at all, almost raw. When the main course was served, everything was simply placed on the table, not in front of the guests, and we had to ask if the empty appetizer platter and plates could be taken away. No explanation whatsoever about shared dining. The sea bream was a tiny piece.

Nice tent on the water, atmospheric spot

Fantastic chilling at Lake Veluwe

Very nice location with adequate staff. The food was a bit disappointing for the price.

Upon arrival, we were greeted with no idea where we could sit. After a short wait, it turned out we could only sit inside at a tiny table, or outside in the wind. Eventually, after insisting, we were seated inside. The table was absolutely filthy, and the bench itself had been cleared of crumbs. The staff had little experience in the restaurant industry and didn't know anything about the wines. We didn't expect a sommelier, but it's helpful if you know a little more than nothing at all. We ordered a hamburger, which came with very few fries. We barely got anything to drink. We then ordered a glass of tea, but it arrived in a glass so damaged that I felt like I was visiting my grandmother. On our way out, we quickly used the restroom. There was toilet paper everywhere, and it wasn't fresh. Too bad! The location is really great, but that's about it.

Cozy place. Beautiful view of Drontermeer. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Yes, very nicely located and accessible dining is available. I can't comment on the restroom.

No reservation, received and seated. The terrace wasn't available, nor was the window by the water. Must have been full, because they had a reservation. When we left, there was no one at the window, and the terrace wasn't full. So we ate at Europarcs a little further along near the bridge to Kampen. Too bad, or should they be a bit friendlier, or perhaps adjust the capacity?! No reservation, just cycle past.

We had a wonderful dinner, and the shared dining concept is beautiful and very tasteful. Add to that the water view and the excellent service, and your evening is complete. I'd love to come back.

Very nice place! The staff was genuinely interested! Good food for a reasonable price.

To start on a positive note, the young staff is very friendly, hard-working, and goes above and beyond to serve customers well. They absolutely deserve a compliment. The food is very pricey, and the quality leaves much to be desired. We opted for a bottle of Verdejo (Carmen Bio) for €32.50. It was poured lukewarm. The retail price of this bottle is €6.95, a factor of more than 4.6X (the purchase price is even lower). The location is beautiful, but the management is seriously overpricing. It's also worth noting how much food was returned to the kitchen.

The shared dining concept wasn't explained well, so no food was served for one person. When this was pointed out, they said they could order it for the next round. This never happened, and they didn't ask. The food was okay, but not the culinary adventure they promised; it wasn't quite seasoned. I ordered the catfish, but it could just as easily have been frozen coalfish; the crispy crust was minimal. It's a shame, because the location is beautiful. I won't be returning, as I don't think the price-quality ratio is right.

The location and atmosphere are perfect, but the service and price are truly appalling.

We arrived at 5:15, and it took an hour and a half before the first group received their food. The spareribs were fine, but there wasn't much to them, and they simply weren't worth the long wait. When we arrived, the place was almost empty, yet many tables around us had been served earlier.

Good food, friendly service, not too expensive, and a beautiful location on the water.

Lovely to be outside by the water. Excellent lunch menu.

Lovely place, you can sit both inside and outside. I enjoyed a delicious decaf latte with oat milk (great that it was available!). And the waitress went out of her way to find me a vegan and nut-free cookie or chocolate. Very thoughtful! The coffee wasn't very hot, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. I'd love to come back! There's also plenty of mooring space for boats and sloops. It's right next to the shipping channel.

If you don't expect good service, everything else about this place is good. Nice ambience, lovely location, good choice of food and drinks

Beautiful starting point for cycling along the IJssel.

Great service and delicious food. Friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable staff. Truly top-notch. Highly recommended.

The service was inexperienced and disorganized. The food was fine and tasty. Unfortunately, orders didn't arrive at the same time, and the receipt was incorrect. A nice location with potential, but plenty of room for improvement.

Super nice and cozy restaurant, you have to like shared dining, and we really like that

Jonge meisjes die niet zijn opgeleid komen de bestelling opnemen en alles kwam in etappes en er werden gewoon dingen vergeten die waren besteld. De flamkuchen was abominabel slecht; droog en krokant en waar was de brie?? Patat mandjes werden veel te laat gebracht. Kortom het was niet voor hethaling vatbaar. Enige pluspunt is ligging aan water!

Nice to have a beer after a walk in the neighborhood. Add something. Absolutely great!

Beautiful location for both a wedding or a party. Perfect dining option. Friendly service. Neat toilets.

Fantastic place and delicious food

Cosy entourage. Beautiful place. Tastefully decorated. Enough parking spaces.

Great food, portions very small, spare ribs really very small, no fries or salad and paying an extra €1.50 for the soy sauce with the sushi, this is ridiculous, should be included!

Food was very tasty, lots of choice and diversity on the menu, and all equally tasty. Also options for children. Service is very friendly

Food was great. Service was top notch.

Een memorabele dag moest deze zondag worden daarom ver vooruit gereserveerd en uitgelegd dat wij met 4 personen zouden komen lunchen. Bij binnenkomst een koel ontvangst door slecht opgeleid personeel. Klacht over een kapot glas werd opgelost door het drankje over te gieten in een ander glas niet nadenkend dat er bv een stukje splinterglas overgeheveld zou kunnen worden. Ook niet van wat vervelend en het spijt ons nee niets van fatsoen. De voorgerechten waren wel goed maar de 2 zeer aangeprezen hamburgers waren een verschrikking. De kok moest zich schamen voor de display van een homp vlees op een veel te droog broodje. 140euro en illusie lichter verlieten wij dit restaurant om nooit meer terug te komen. Ze moeten het echt hebben van de ligging aan het water. Meevaller gratis parkeren dat dan wel.

Hopeless reception. We were late and were treated like little children by the lady with the black hair. At 16:05 we could no longer get lunch so we wanted to order from the large menu. That was only possible at 17:00 because the chef was going to eat. Then we stayed seated and ordered at 17:00. A main course. One of us got a mini starter. The angus steak looked like a fillet steak. So we finished all the food and the last one got her dish when we had already finished eating. The drinks, finally got them after asking 3 times. Completely done with it. The 2 waitresses were super sweet by the way.

Beautiful place. View beautiful. Service neat. Good ambiance

Beautiful location but a very impersonal and cold reception. Staff does its best but has almost no catering experience. A broken glass was served and when we commented that we would like a new glass they reacted strangely, no apologies for the inconvenience or how sorry that this is happening to you, drink was poured into a new glass? The food was somewhat reasonable until the hamburgers were served, no wow factor very expensive for a lump of meat unappetizing clearly made by someone who had worked double shifts. Fries greasy and flat. The chicken satay was still manageable for 1 person in our group. Unfortunately the oysters were sold out. Not recommended just a gluttony. Toilets were nice and fresh and clean. Oh yes, the Share Dining concept was not explained!

The quality of the food was not in proportion to the price in some dishes. The steak, however, was fine. I would recommend you to have drinks here rather than to actually dine there. The location and the view are pleasant, as are the seats inside. The toilet was clean, as was the rest of the building.

We stayed here at the campsite. Lovely quiet campsite, clean sanitary facilities and a great view over the water. For kids there is a nice playground and trampolines. There are also canoes and you can make a fire! How nice is that. The associated restaurant has a delicious menu and is also fantastically situated on the water. Recommended.

Went here for a wedding, super venue hard working and friendly staff, great location

Beautiful relaxing Good staff Great location

We didn't eat here, but did an escape room via Social Deal. It was fine. Although I've done more fun ones. It only started to get more fun in the third room, because you had to combine things. The location of At Sea is great, overlooking the water

Delicious coffee, plenty of parking and nice location

Nice environment but I can't say the same about the size of the plates

Delicious food based on the tapas principle with a great view.

Had a lovely drink and lunch on comfortable chairs on the beach. 👍🌞 Very sweet and positive lady who served us! Update May 2, 2025: I happened to pass by here again during a walk with my sister. So we had another delicious cappuccino on the terrace with a beautiful view!

Very well organized Easter brunch, with an egg hunt with the Easter Bunny for the Kids and a dessert buffet afterwards, with fireworks and an ice cream cart!

Nice place with a great location/view

Beautiful location, nice to stay in the sun both inside and outside. Tasty lunch menu and good price-quality ratio

Delicious food and good service. Well worth a visit.
