The Park in Rotterdam Centrum

In May booked for 3 Aug. Confirmation received. Family invited from elsewhere in the country for an evening of delicious food in the garden or in the beautiful restaurant. Upon arrival the restaurant appears to be closed. Previously asked twice by email if it was possible to eat in the garden. No response. So they had 3 opportunities to inform me that the restaurant was closed. We could order something from a very simple menu at the bar. What a disappointment. When I also found a "big message" in the toilet I was done with it! The food itself is fine. As compensation we did get a glass of prosecco. This was not worthy of The Park!

A 3 course dinner was included with our booking at Hotel Bilderberg. Prior to our arrival, we received a request from hotel to make a reservation and asked if we had any dietary restrictions. My husband and I had a most enjoyable dining experience. We never saw a menu and were surprised by each course. When each course arrived, our server who was the manager, Robert, explained what we would be eating. We happened to be the only customers in the restaurant besides a group who sat in a different location. Robert explained that usually they don’t have other guests when they have a Group but accommodated us as we had a reservation. The food presentation was great and the meal was delicious . We truly felt like we were dining as it took 2 hours for our dinner. Definitely recommended.

Could do with a bit more attention and detail in customer service. If you are with a foreign guest, you should automatically come with a menu in English...but other languages ​​such as German or Spanish or Italian in an international city like Rotterdam should be a no brainer as far as I'm concerned. The bream was well portioned and tasty. The chorizo ​​croquettes as a starter were also tasty. Great cocktail and wine was also good. Price quality is good.

So bad! We had something to celebrate and wanted to do that at The Park. We've done that a few times before, always great. But now we arrived and the door was still closed. Thank God it was dry because after waiting for more than fifteen minutes the door was still closed. When we had given up hope we saw the staff sitting happily at the bar. Downright antisocial. Too bad, I often send people to this restaurant, but that's over. Of course we won't go anymore either.

The food is so delicious. Will come back again.
