Brasserie De Haven - Aalsmeer

I would give this 0 stars if I could. We popped in for a quick lunch after arriving into Holland before heading to our nearby accommodation. We were quickly seated which was the only good thing I have to say about this establishment. First of all the table clearly hadn’t been cleaned properly, there was still food remains on it. The cutlery was dirty and the glasses were sticking to the table. Two tables that then came in after us were offered drinks and menus before us and the waitress clearly ignored us when we are trying to order. She finally acknowledged us and sent a young waiter over to take our order. We placed our order and waited…and waited. In fact the tables that came in after us both had finished their meals before the same waiter who took our order came over and asked if everything was ok. We said we still haven’t received any food, it had about an hour since we sat down. The waiter came back and said since it was ‘a busy day’ the sushi was taking longer to make. They obviously had totally forgotten to put the order in, as we not many tables had come in after us and ordered. My young daughter, at this point was starting to fall asleep, so we had to ask for the food to be packed to go. The waiter didn’t have much to say and we were totally ignored by all staff on the way out. We had been recommended the restaurant and hoping to book for dinner one night but this is one place that I would tell everyone to avoid! It was honestly one of the worst experiences I have ever had anywhere! I’m not sure if this was down to us not being Dutch, as it seemed like most other customers were local and they seemed to get better service. So an ok place to go if you’re Dutch but otherwise AVOID!

Very nice restaurant and great surrounding. Lunch menu is very nice.

Really nice place to enjoy drinks and food. I could have joined more if I wouldn’t be told to leave early as there was wending party planned in the place and we weren’t told when we made the reservation that we should leave early . Besides that everything is really nice : food , people, place ! Prices are a bit high but I am not Dutch citizen

Nice place, right by water and yacht club. Super fresh seafood. I ordered a Seafood salad with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc delicious combination! Will definitely come back here to try something else!

Delicious (also veggie vegan) food, friendly team, good atmosphere. Recommended.
