Fortuyn — Restaurant in Haarlem

I've had my wedding reception here, in the back, which is like a solarium and seems to double as a place for meetings. With catering, the solarium seems to accomodate about fourty people and is cozy, bordering on cramped. The table service is quite good and we made a deal for a small lunch, which was quite satisfactory. We also placed an order with "Van der Zoete", who usually provide the pastries here so we had a spectacular wedding cake. Because they have several specialty beers here, we also enjoyed those. Everything went smoothly and satisfactory. The staff was kind enough to accommodate our requests. The only point of improvement is the number of staff, which was a little short since it was a sunny day and the terrace was becoming crowded, which tends to happen due to its prime placement at the Grote Markt.

We visited this place a couple of times a forehand and after informing the kitchen through the staff, that my wife was pregnant, it was taken into account with our orders, so that's a really big plus! While we mostly sat inside, the terrace tends to get quite crowded and as you can gather, staff can get a bit stretched. In my opinion, the quality of what you order doesn't tend to suffer (so the kitchen seems to keep it under controle) although placing your order and getting your order can take a...

Worst hamburger ever! Service of low quality. We asked for 4 hamburgers and just 1 one well done. They all came over cooked and really hard to cut! We told our waitress and they promptly gave us a substitute only thing that gives them 2 stars. Unfortunately even medium rare it was clear that the meat was of bad quality ( possibly frozen old meat). We couldn’t understand why such poor quality and how they could have good reviews... see picture of weird hamburger meat. In the end we all left without desert. Edit: I have removed photos of the hamburger in respect to the management as they also confirmed that it was not up to their quality standards. And in understanding of that hopefully this is a learning lesson to them. Unfortunately your staff was not at all helpful or seamed to even care that we were badly served... Take care of your staff and your customers! Just because we do not speak Dutch doesn't mean that we are a 1 time tourist visit. We do live more or less nearby, but I will not step foot in your restaurant again as it was by far one of the worst service and dinner experience I ever had. I hope you...
