Brasserie David — Restaurant in Aalsmeer

A terrible place with very unfriendly and even aggressive staff. Been there yesterday around 6pm. Could not eat because it would be too busy according to the waitress who looked like she would rather not see customers coming. This while most of the tables were empty. When my friend asked the uninterested waitress if maybe she could get a portion of fries or some oysters, it turned out that was not possible either. No point we thought and decided to have 1 drink. Suddenly the former owner (and father of current owner) comes storming out and asks aggressively if there are any problems and if we want to treat the waitresses with respect. Two guys sitting a table away had heard us talking to the waitress and immediately jumped into the breach by telling him that we had just been very friendly and respectful. The father insisted that we had been unkind and walked away without apology. When I asked him to apologize, he did raise his middle finger. With that, the boys next to us left their drinks and stepped up. I myself went in to get some redress how someone could just accuse us as guests, to which I received the second accusation, namely that I always cause trouble. He must have confused us with other people, because even though once again the 2 guys stood up for us, he stuck to his story. There was no excuse, and his son, the current owner who heard everything only said, "I don't know what happened." Disrespectful and aggressive I call it. Lost 4 customers with 1 action...

Was afraid that somehow remote location will spoil it but what a suprise that was with a nearby canal supporting a number of passing by boats, yachts and vehicles of some description that were able to stay afloat. Will certainly...
