Understandable if the place was packed but there were only handful of tables and the waitress stepped outside twice to talk to some regular customers sitting near by and ignored us. Since it’s one of the only places around it makes sense to step in for a bite, however that’s not a place I will return to even if I have regular business around.

The restaurant manager sets a poor example of customer service. As usual in the Netherlands, we were asked what we wanted to drink when we arrived. After our drinks were delivered, I asked for an extra mint leaf in my tea. Right there, the bad experience began! The manager gave me an extra leaf along with a displeased look. It's better to pay extra and be well served than to deal with the attitude. Our table was left unattended for more than 40 minutes. Meanwhile, 4 people came in, sat, ate, paid, and left, but nobody came to our table. We appeared to be invisible. Finally, when we asked for more drinks and food, we were served food condescendingly with no drinks. After a while, we requested our missing drinks. Once again, we waited longer than expected for a simple bottle of water. When we asked again, the employee replied aggressively, as we were pressuring them to work faster than they could. Despite the tasty food, the experience was so disappointing that I will never return. It is definitely not something I would recommend to a friend. They speak good English, but since we were the only table treated with such disdain, I assume they don't really welcome foreigners. Additionally, it's located in an industrial area, which doesn't make for a very pleasant setting.

I got a tiny bowl for 13 euros without even a slice of bread on the side. When I asked if it doesn’t come with anything and if it isn’t a bit small, the employee rolled her eyes at me, went back to the kitchen, and told her colleague what I asked, without really caring for my own disappointment as their customer.
