Restaurant details
Reviewed 30 April 2017

1. No English menus. (Every other restaurant we ate at in Holland had English menus) 2. Waitress didn't know what kind of bread was available for the sandwiches. 3 Brought one out of 3 dishes wrong, waited 15 minutes for the right order. the other dish had no patat or salad that was stated on the menu. 5. Had to ask for additional drinks. 6. Waitress brought one drink never asked if anyone else if they wanted anything else. Finally brought the patat, (Twice cooked) again didn't ask if there would be anything else. Never said they were sorry for messing up the meals. and then charged us FULL PRICE (over priced to begin with for schnitzel €16,50) She asked how it was and I told her terrible service and food. She never said a word.I don't know who was working there the days this place got all these good reviews!! They tried to ruin my day but failed!!

Considering this restaurant is near a large fishing harbour I was disappointed that the restaurant had very little fish on the lunch time menu. Indeed the menu was limited to the standard dutch lunch time staples (sandwiches, soup, salads). I had a cheese uitsmijter and my wife a smoked salmon salad, both reasonably prepared but without any interest.

Amazing service. Staff spoke English really well. Food tasted incredible and was very inexpensive. The scene was very cozy and comfortable. It's a small hometown diner. They do not have English menus but the staff was very helpful with the ordering process.
