Very nice spot to have some drinks, lunch or dine. The River is located at the canal De Vliet and has a big terras to enjoy outside. Yesterday we reserved a table for 3 in the evening. It was crowded because of the beautiful weather but it was nice to be there and enjoy the evening. Because of the large volume of guests, getting served took longer than expected but that's fine.

While giving feedback no solution was offered and we were even facing rudeness and arrogance. Regret to have spent so many evenings at this place without building a relationship. Complaints abt staff were not taken seriously by manager. Fortunately a neighbour restaurant in Voorburg was more welcoming even though also there it was fully booked. It was probably time for new food experiences bcs the service and food were...
