Restaurant Acquavite — Restaurant in Gooise Meren

Friday evening, 6 May 2022:Everyone there was very rude, unfortunately !!!! From a short lady to the girl at the bar.Also the young man, a very thin man. We are a group of friends, around 8 persons, who came on vacation to our beloved Netherlands for the 3rd time. Our Dutch friends live here. We visited Naarden for the first time in order to visit this restaurant and book a table for one night. We will stay in the Netherlands for a month. So, at that night of our dinner we had plan to make our business deals,also to relax with a nice dinner. In order not to disturb the staff, because we were a lot of people, I went in the restaurant. One of the 8 people. To check the place, to have a first connection with the staff e.c.And of course to book a table for any night in the next month. I got excited about the place and took 2 photos. If this was wrong then we apologize for that. But before I took the photos, everyone there was not polite with me.From the first time!!! Why??? Perhaps I was wearing casual clothes? We are tourists and yes. We wear casual clothes all day to be comfortable. But even all that, I was smiling and polite. In fact, I told them how beautiful is their place. And the short lady told me in English "Buy it". And the girl at the bar showed me the door and kicked me out !!! How Rudeness and Inhospitable my God ???!!!!! We were all shocked !!!!!!Because we know that all Dutch people are so sweet and very polite persons!!!!!!! I continued to be smiling and polite,but my heart was cracked!!! I didn't want to make it an issue and I asked them about a reservation. But NO!!!!Never again there!!!!!!! Sorry guys!!!!! If I were more courageous I would ask to talk to the owner of the...

A nice restaurant, slightly to formal for my taste ( but that's personal, if you like formal, you'll like it here) the deer steak tartar I had as a first course was delicious and the salmon my mom had too. As a main course, my mom had the vegetables dish with crispy mushroom and coleflower, also a very nice dish. I ordered the lapwing (small bird). I have to say that I'm not a difficult eater, there is really nothing I don't eat, but the lapwing was such a disappointment that I gave some to my mom (who also didn't like it) and left the rest. The taste was weird, to much wild earthtones, the structure very spongy and nothing like a lapwing should taste. When I made a (kindly said) remark, I didn't get a response. Again, nice restaurant if you like formal, but don't order the lapwing if you...

This is a restaurant that has a vintage feeling. When you walk in, the stone-made long corridor gives a very historical feeling. There's possibility to dine outside and enjoy the sunshine. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Service is prompt and they care for your feelings. Since I was in a cycling trip, I just had a pizza, but it's truly delicious! Made with fresh ingredients and then wrapped close, quite unlike typical pizzas that are just flat. After the dinner the waitress served me with a full plate of candies. I tried one and it's definitely better than the average mimt candies from other...
