We were looking forward to a nice dinner in one of Ghent s ranked restaurants. But service and staff attitude were appalling. While ordering our dishes, our waiter disappeared in the middle of the order for more than five minutes without explanation. The butternut squash soup and the carpaccio were quite good. The wine too. The duck confit was far from tender, and the sea bass lacked the green beans listed on the menu. After picking up our plates, the waiter did not ask why they were still half full. We then had to wait over 20 min before catching anyone s attention to order deserts. Ten additional minutes later, they were still not served. We requested the bill and expressed our discontent to the manager, who failed to even apologise for the delays. Sadly not the kind of evening we were hoping.
