"After making a reservation, 6 people went for lunch at around 1pm. From the person who I presume was the owner, in order not to create problems in the kitchen, we were told that the first courses would be served first (waiting time around 20 minutes) and followed by the second courses. After at least half an hour, four of us had the honor of enjoying the first course while I and another person (who only had a second course and side dish) also had to wait for everyone to finish eating the first course. When my coveted fried calamari only arrived, in addition to these there were also prawns. I politely asked the waiter to rectify. Naturally the dish, always the same, returned to me without shrimp but as sparse as ever because what had been removed had not been integrated. Once the second course was finished, the side dishes were still not on the table and we asked for the preparation to be stopped because it no longer made sense to eat the side dish separately. The owner made amends by saying that he had forgotten to pass the order to the kitchen. I pointed out to him that the prawns removed from my plate could be replaced by a few more pieces of squid: he justified himself by saying that the portion of squid was the right one and that the prawns are added later when the dish is ready to be served. Too bad that my neighbor's portion of calamari alone completely filled her little Flemish girl. Even though we had declined the offer of a plate of fried calamari to make amends, he wanted to bring them to the table anyway and there, untouched, they remained. What can I say: even if the lunch had been gourmet, I didn't appreciate it, it went awry due to the owner's behavior and I felt cheated. Never to see each other again"
