Torenpaviljoen — Restaurant in Texel

Where shall i start.....

We found that restaurant while walking along the beach up to the lighthouse and decided to have dinner there on another day.

First of all the restaurant was fully booked. We got almost rejected to take seat but luckily one of the waiters assigned us a table.

We ordered some drinks first. Drinks and menu card took ages to find its place on our table. As we placed our orders,it took almost another decade to receive everything.

Well.....Chicken on the Caesar Salad wasn't fresh and it seems like they buy it in a super market. Burger pattys were average and had same quality like the frozen ones you can easily buy in every grocery shop. My side salad had a soy sauce dressing....very difficult to get used to.

Waiters were very inattentive and seemed to be pretty stressed with every question we had. All in all a not so nice experience.

Thier biggest advantage of this restaurant is its location i guess. Many people are checking out the lighthouse or the beach nearby. I also think many guest will go to this restaurant with high expectation and face a big...

It"s obviously not possible to get a drink there 45 minutes before the restaurant is going to close. When I entered the restaurant at 20:15 I was asked if I wished to eat or just to drink something. I answered that two persons (my partner, who was still outside, and I) would like to have a drink. The young lady disappeared for a short moment because she "had to ask" and when she came back she told me that they wouldn't accept new guests at this time of the day. I was astonished because we just wanted to drink something, I had asked politely, it was 20:15, there were still other guests in the room and the restaurant closes at 21:00. My imagination of hospitality is different so I am deeply sorry but I can"t recommend...

I took quite a while before they brought my tea. It wasn't hot, so I mentioned it to the waitress she apolgized and brought me an other one. After that I've ordered food. This took half an hour, I saw two waitresses, one of them was very young and sure looked unexpierienced. The meat was still a little pink inside, so not well cooked. The glass of wine I've ordered was brought just after I've finished my meal. Sorry, there were many customers you ordered drink was the excuse. After that she told me they did their very best. Well if there's not enough waitresses complain to your boss. Not to me I'm just a customer, and deal with the complaint in a professional way. And more thing....keep 1,5...
