Foodbar De Zalm — Restaurant in Gouda

This wasn't my first choice, but since places hate being open on Monday, I went for it, and instantly regretted it.

Walked in around 3pm, not that busy considering the ample staff, waited about 5 minutes in the doorway like an idiot before I was even acknowledged to get a seat. Waited another 20 mins or so with no service until they came and tried to get me to pay someone else's bill, when I told them I didn't even order yet. Good start. Ordered a beer, and he rushed off without taking my food order even though I clearly had the food menu open. Waited oh, about 15 more minutes to get the beer. He sprinted away without asking if I wanted anything else. At that point it became abundantly clear. I had to get out of there. I chugged the beer as quickly as I could and miraculously found a staff member to pay for it. His hands were shaking as he held the credit card device. I'd probably still be there now if I didn't escape when I did. Ended up going to the coffee shop down the street for a club sandwich and it was like I died and went to heaven. Twice as many customers with half the staff, and they had no pressure whatsoever.
