Het Wapen van Rijsenburg — Restaurant in Utrechtse Heuvelrug

Where do I begin, I took my partner out for a late lunch today and a young waiter came and took the order for drinks. We received the drinks and we saw no one for a long time, so I got up and looked for someone to ask for menu's. The young waiter that brought our drinks said he would bring them. We waited for a long time and then he past us by with menu's and seemed more interested in his friends that sat down and took their orders. as he was walking by I asked again for the menu and he looked kind of confused and then realised he was holding some. Our order took a long time and when it arrived, mine was not quite right. Took so long again before we saw the waiter and he finally took my plate back to the kitchen, I had also asked for a beer which never showed up. The food took so long my partner started eating his by the time my food finally arrived he had finished eating. I had to ask this waiter 3 times for my beer before it finally showed up. Eating on my own and my partner sitting and ready to leave was not my idea of a romantic lunch. This was my worst experience ever, this waiter shouldn't be working here, he doesn't care, not at all polite, doesn't look at you or smile when you speak to him, he didn't come and check if all was OK until it was time to pay. We didn't feel at all welcome. I will not be returning to...

We arrived at 14:30 and there were 8 tables with a "reserved" sign in the shade on the terrace (=all of them), and after asking the staff we were told we can only choose a table in half-sun, soon to be in full sun. For 2 hours we spent more than 100€ and only TWO "reserved" tables had guests in the meantime. We ate and drank (a lot) and left and still 6 tables HAD NO GUESTS AT ALL. The chicken club sandwich was extremely dry, not even butter or mayonnaise on it. Brioche with pulled chicken was sort of ok. The staff was not interested, operating on "autopilot" because we are not Dutch so it seemed we will not return here - well guess what,...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Het Wapen van Rijsenburg, and I must say that the experience was exceptional! I highly recommend to anyone looking for an amazing dining experience with outstanding service. The helpful and friendly staff really made a difference. We arrived late and the kitchen was already closed but the ladies from the bar were extremely kind to prepare dinner for us which I must say was the best dinner we had in the Netherlands! Thank...
