After
visiting
countless
1*,
2*
and
3*
Michelin
restaurants
in
the
last
30
years,
I
cannot
understand
how
this
tourists
place
gets
a
star.
We
had
to
wait
more
than
50
minutes
between
our
entrée
and
our
meal.
We
politely
and
softly
asked
2
times
(in
Dutch,
mind
you)
if
we
had
been
forgotten.
Waiting
nearly
an
hour
between
courses
without
any
information
is
not
what
I
call
a
gastronomy-level
experience.
Finally,
a
younger
member
of
the
staff
candidly
admitted
that
the
kitchen
gives
precedence
to
tables
taking
the
menu.
Customers
like
us,
with
à-la-carte
choices
(way
more
expensive
by
the
way),
will
be
served
-
and
I
quote
-
"when
then
can".
Amazing
!!!
(not).
And
when
my
main
course
*finally*
appeared
(a
48€
piece
of
turbot),
it
was
OK
but
still
full
of
fishbones,
something
that
never
should
happen
in
any
restaurant,
and
certainly
not
with
the
pretention
of
being
a
1*
one.
We
paid
and
left
after
that,
not
even
wanting
dessert
or
coffe
anymore.
We
politely
repeated
our
concern
to
the
chef
de
salle,
who
just
nod
and
led
us
to
the
exit.
Well...
there
are
several
excellent,
non-rated
Oostende
restaurants
where
you'll
get
at
least
the
same
food
quality
&
presentation,
but
will
be
better
served
for
a
fraction
of
the
undeserved
price
here.
I
was
baffled
to
discover
after
all
these
years
that
a
Michelin
restaurant
can
be
*that*
bad.
Totally
not
recommended.
