Breman Brasserie — Restaurant in Amsterdam

The vibe is cool, we are staying at the hotel for four nights. But the service is terrible. In short, they had an event so they sat me in another room, which was ok, service was slow to start and then nonexistent. I ordered a cappuccino and a sparkling water. The water arrived in 15’ min to only be the wrong drink, a sparkling lemonade. I asked to sit at the only sit down table in that room, and they allowed me to. But it was dirty. They didn’t clean it. They didn’t help me move my drinks. Then they forgot about the cappuccino. Never came back for food order nor to charge me. Only to come back to tell me I couldn’t sit at the table because it had eight chairs. I had to go to the hotel lobby to ask them to charge me. I told them at the lobby, they apologized, but then that was it. The next day the same things happened. I sat in the main restaurant only to be forgotten about. Too bad, I was really excited to have a good experience while at this hotel. All other days I saw guests sitting alone in the same table for eight and no one kicked them out even though they sat there for 2+ hours. You figure a place where we paid 2000 euros for some nights would be better....

Great hotel. The Food was very good.

But- Horrendous and abysmal service.

The restaurant was about 1-2- 3/4 full, with half the staff standing/sitting around and half working.

We waited 5 minutes to be seated with multiple empty tables around the restaurant, and wait staff passing by us and ignoring us.

We didn’t receive a menu or table set, we had to get the menu ourselves after 10 minutes of waiting for service and trying to get wait staff attention.

Waited another 10 minutes once we had the menu to have the wait staff ask if we wanted to order anything.

Waited another 25 minutes for coffee and food. When received we didn’t have silverware, salt, pepper, water, or glasses. Had to ask 3 seperate times for these items, and eventually just grabbed it from an empty table.

We’re usually the type to be understanding of the wait times associated with the service industry and a restaurant with other patrons, but this was a...
