    Seems very poorly managed. Really good location, bur food quality and atmosphere is that of cheap and old China town. (They actually have one of menu replaced with "Beijing style Beef" !!! while they are pretending Belgian seafood restaurant. (Price was very high constrasting the quality).

    This is a casual dining experience very close to grand Plas in Brussels. We, party of 10, had a delightful time. Thr menu had a nice mix of seafood and classic belgian dishes. This is not fine dining or silver service but we all left satisfied across the board

    I browsed Google and saw the comments, and the pictures seemed good and nice, so we checked it out. We were a bit shocked when the outside signage said unlimited fries supply; we thought, did we go for a wrong decision? Aldo, there were no customers inside, and it was 7:30 pm on Saturday night. We ordered one portion of the seafood platter and a small portion of mussels to share for two people. It actually tastes good and delicious. The mussels were a bit like home cook, but still fresh and yummy. The seafood platter was fabulous. And we ordered half a bottle of red wine.

    Plus: Amazing food and service Minus: very poor decoration and attention to detail (salt and pepper mills, bread basket, butter in plastic tubs)

    The restaurant did not have any ventilation and the doors to the kithen were therefore open. A greasy smell filled the restaurant as well as my clothes. The food was tasteless and I could see that the waitress went in to the kithen, cut some bread which she served to guests immediately without washing her hands or using gloves. What’s worse is that an employe in the kitchen used the same knife and did not have gloves. How is that hygienic?!

    Difficult to review….. the food was good, the staff tried hard and were pleasant. But I left the place angry. The food took an age to arrive. We arrived at 1900 as reserved but between then and 2100 we had one starter and no main had turned up….2 hours… When I politely challenged why it took so long the waiter came up with a number of excuses and fired back at us that they were “Italian and always slow” and we “should have let them know” we wanted to be served “in a hurry” - I didn’t, we just didn’t want the meal of two courses to take two and a half hours. The whole experience made the night a bitter experience and ruined a Saturday in Brussels. Then there was the bill. the wine we ordered was in the menu at 70 Euro a bottle but we were charged 110 - and then the bill came to 230 Euros for two. I live in Switzerland so know what expensive dining looks like….this was not it. It was touristico profiteering…shame on you…a really disappointing dinner. Which could have been so much better. There seemed to be be poor management, or no management present. The waiters and waitresses were trying hard but it seemed that they were pressured into covering up the cracks behind the scenes. We were not the only ones sat waiting more than two hours… if you charge these prices, get it right - I will gladly pay…but it was wrong in many ways. I suspect many left that evening feeling short changed and light in spare time. Oh, and buy more than one fan…it was very hot. Yes we are experiencing a late summer heat wave, not your fault, but one fan between 20+ diners became a bit ridiculous.

    We booked a table but when we came for dinner the restaurant was open but not working because of some repairs. The employees were very surprised to see us and obviously not aware of our booking. Disappointment.

    Great service and delicious food in this centrally located restaurant. Ambience spoiled a little by the location of our table next to the open door to the kitchen and entrance to toilets. Would definitely recommend for the food.

    The overall food experience was okay, but, I found it really weird that, when I wanted to order something from the menu (which was chicken, so nothing special or extravagant), the waiter told me that they have just opened the restaurant that very same day, which was the reason of them not having all dishes in the menu. I found that to be a ridiculous lie, given that a lot of people have already been (badly) reviewing this restaurant for months now, and some of them actually called out the fact that they never had all the dishes in the menu. Sadly for me, I did not read the Google reviews prior to my booking through the Fork, so I was not aware of it. I don’t think I would return to this place.

    The Ocean11 staff apologizes for the problem you have encountered. we had actually attempted the opening time before this comment but given some problems we closed by changing staff and organization. On the first page of our menu it is wnitten that not all the dishes present are actually available every day, this is due to a factor Of freshness availability of raw materials and above all long preparation times. We apologize for missing chicken for that day but even simple chicken prepared by our chefs takes a lot Or time and dedication. we invite you not to condemn us as a restaurant with a bad experience and we invite you to return by promising you an experience that Iives up to your expeclations. The Ocean11 staff thanks you for all the feedback received, positive and negative, everything we need to focus on the critical points and improve ourselves to ensure an exceptional experience for all our customers. Thanks again and best regards, The Ocean11 staff

    Restaurant still is its starting phase , the organization of the kitchen needs to be tightened , courses arrive late for some guests et require to be recooked. Services people try their best to compensate the kitchen inefficiencies.

    9.5/10

    Refined dining in a modern, calm environment. Excellent food quality and good wines by bottle or glass. Menu and drinks list quite short - they clearly aim to do a few things very well rather than to offer a wide range of mediocrity. Staff are vey friendly and helpful yet unobtrusive. Negatives: expensive - while quality is high, portion sizes are small e.g. beautifully cooked coquille St Jacques in a superb truffle sauce is €37 for three pieces of fish. Service is mostly very smooth and professional - but they needed reminding to bring the ordered side dish of vegetables. Biggest irritation: we were not told until we tried to order them that some dishes were not available, which left us feeling mildly disappointed through the rest of the meal. The menu warns that some dishes listed may not be available but the time to say which is when giving out the menus.
