Review of Pancake restaurant de Stroopst...

The pancakes were good and I would recommend it to people who want to try Dutch pancakes. Although the place is small, I like its cozy atmosphere and the interiors. However, my friend and I did not have a good experience with one of the servers. When we got to the restaurant, the place was full and we were second in line to be seated. We were told to wait 5 - 10 minutes. This was completely understandable and we did not mind waiting 10 minutes. However, what disappointed us was how our server had no interest in seating us. Within 3 minutes of our arrival, two tables left, freeing one space by the entrance. I saw the male server cleaned both tables and thought we would be served soon. To our disappointment however, our female server thought cleaning the counter surface, the menus and her nails were more important. About 10 minutes later, the people in front of us finally got seated and we thought we'd just get the space by the entrance soon, since it's been cleaned for a while already. We expressed to our server that we just wanted to sit down if the space is not reserved and were told (rudely) to wait for her to clean the table. She then cleaned the caps of all the condiments as well as the condiment tray which looked fine from the beginning. My friend and I don't think we did anything wrong but felt like we were getting the "attitude". We weren't shy about our frustration when there was a clean table ready for us, but we felt that the waiter could not care less and just performed her tasks as slow as she can to avoid seating us. To conclude, it's a decent place but not worth the hype.
