John Dory's Harties - terrible!
It has been quite some time since we last visited John Dory's. Recently had lunch at their Hartbee****rt Dam branch. We eat out quite a lot, but this must rank as one of our worst experiences ever. They ran a special of two hakes and prawns, and the hakes in the photo on the billboard seemed like nice pieces. I decided that I will only have two hake pieces as it seemed to be a lot of food with the prawns included. My wife had a plate of prawns. Condiments that were brought to the table consisted of tomato sauce, vinegar and tabasco. No plate with water for the prawns. Not even a plate to put the prawn shells in. We were both served with a type of sauce, which I assume was supposed to be lemon butter sauce, but what we received was something quite different and utterly tasteless. When the food arrived I could not believe what I saw. There were two very small, as thin as cardbox, hake pieces on the plate with a bit of rice, a s**** of coleslaw the size of a bottle cap and chips. Nothing like as it was advertised. This seemed like a starter dish, although the meal was of course charged as a main meal. The prawns looked soggy and limp, although my wife stated that it did not taste too bad. The food was presented in the most unimaginitive and cheapest way possible. Both our meals were heavily overpriced for what we received, especially the hake. John Dory's is obviously trying to make as much profit as possible at the expense of customers and by misleasding marketing. The service was good, but that is the best that we can say. Upon arriving at home, I had to eat again. My advice to John Dory's: do not make the mistake of thinking that all your customers are fools. Never ever will we visit this restaurant franchise again. Worst value for money imaginable.
