John Dory — Restaurant in Ghent

Sadly, I can't share the same good review left by others and I wish I would have had a good dinner instead, but towards the end of the service I received - undoubtedly - rudeness from the waitress. Some people have their mental problems called racism, so they treat as less valuable other humans that are darker than them. The waitress was already unfriendly during the service but it was ok. Coldness is still part of a decent service. After the main dishes, my husband left the table, so I was waiting for him but I was also ready to go to the toilet once he would be back. In those moments, the waitress came to pick the plates and took our napkins. My napkin was taken from my hands without permission neither apologies. (Besides my table there was a couple that was there much earlier than us and they got not disturbed with the removal of their plates).

I was still seating on my own and the chef came asking if we wanted drinks. I just mentioned that I would wait for my husband to decide. After a couple of minutes the waitress comes again and asked if I wanted anything else. I responded that she took away the napkins so, it's a bit awkward to order something else.

(My husband had booked a table for this dinner, so removing the napkins felt like being rushed away).

Instead of receiving apologies, this lady decided "to teach" me when to use a napkin. 😅😅 She said that a napkin is just for eating, not for drinking. 🙄🙄🙄 I responded, that, I was having a dinner and my dinner did not finish when she took away the napkins. But there was no way she could be wrong. She, shamelessly, reiterated her previous answer.

So, seriously, if you want to keep that personnel, is better to ask if she dislikes a certain type/color of human beings, so you put it at your door or your website. But, it's extremely rude to argue with a customer when you are clearly wrong.

I complained when I went to pay. I received a sort of apologies that sounded very much like "I don't believe you".

I had a wonderful day because it was my wedding anniversary and we wanted a relaxing day. Unfortunately we encountered a rude waitress and indifferent chef.

I should have described the dishes instead of the rudeness of your personnel.

I didn't like the loud music on top of my table. The dessert had beer and we both dislike beer (I dislike it utterly ). Thank you for the...

Hele leuke tent, echt een aanrader. Het concept is een vier of vijf gangen menu van alleen visgerechten. We kregen heerlijke amuses, waaronder oesters en een cracker met vis. Het eerste gerecht was rauwe makreel met umami ondertonen. Het tweede gerecht was een krab tartaar met asperges en een bouillon. Deze twee gerechten waren wel allebei koud en vrij zoutig / umami in smaak. Dit was wel een beetje dubbelop. Het derde gerecht was de catch of the day met couscous, wat heerlijk was! Het toetje viel niet bij iedereen even goed. Het had vissige en bittere ondertonen, wat vrij zout was. De kaasplank was absoluut geweldig, met prachtige smaakvolle diverse kazen. Er zat ook een broodje en rozijnenbolletje bij. De gerechten waren allemaal dus vrij bijzonder qua smaak, dus als je daar niet van houdt is dit misschien niet de plek voor jou. De bediening was super behulpzaam en...
