The Bamboo Room — Restaurant in Hoorn

Decent food, nice desert, but worst service experience in years. Avoid this place if you care about service! First of all, 45 minutes before the kitchen closed, my wife and I entered and asked if we could sit at a window seat. We were refused because it was a table for 4 (actually a 2x2 so the waitress could have separated the tables). There were 3 other tables for 4 (2x2) left empty… So we sat down at a table for two. It’s a shared dining concept so the table got filled with plates. The waitress, allthough passing by several times, did not remove the empty plates.

September 2023 update: still a great place. Excellent tropical cocktails, nice broad menu with creative dishes, big vegan selection, good service, warmed terrace and blankts for the cool...
