  The atmosphere of this restaurant is about the only thing it has going for it. We were intrigued by the large ski-lodge looking building and were pleasantly surprised to find the dining room to be sunny and spacious. That's were the positives ended. We were told that the wait was 15 - 20 minutes; that was fine, we live in a busy area and are used to that kind of wait. About 5 minutes later, the host came back and said that he could seat us right away if we wanted to join up with another couple at a 6 seat table. We're adventurous, we said sure and they seated us with a very nice couple. I think we waited at least 20 minutes to be noticed at all by the waiter, despite the fact that he was waiting on a table right next to us. When he finally came to the table, he was borderline surly.
  Our table ordered three iced teas and a Coke. We received one iced tea and two Cokes. The food didn't take too long, but the veggies on my plate were the frozen kind that come in a bag. The mashed potatoes tasted like the flake variety that you add hot water to. Everything on my plate was covered in a bland brown gravy. We both ordered the chicken, mine was ok, his was dry. I think the waiter only returned once to check on our table. Throughout the meal, several other wait staff, including a woman who looked like she might be the manager, puttered around the room doing meaningless tasks. I worked in restaurants and kitchens before, I've literally never seen a restaurant with staff just doing nothing during the busy lunch rush.
  We then waited another 20 minutes after finishing our meal to receive our check. The waiter laid it down on the table and said "I'll come back when you're ready to pay." My boyfriend already had his card waiting, so he tried to hand it to the waiter, but the guy just turned and walked away. Even the other couple sitting with us was disappointed.
  Black Forest, your restaurant would be a great place if you made a few important changes to your menu and your staff. I hope you take all these three and lower star reviews into consideration and make some positive changes in your establishment.

  How a whole family really enjoys going here for some good German food. Worth the trip even if it's just to have dinner. But if you're in Netherland be sure to have at least one meal hear it Black Forest Restaurant.

  This place has a unique charm. Felt very genuine and brought back memories of my wife's German relatives. Food was great too.
