10/10I was expecting more food and there was no explanation about what kind of food there would be. Either you make open buffet or provide clear information. Alcohols with variety and workshop presentation were excellent.

10/10We were visiting Brussels for a few days for the new year celebrations and wanted something a little different to your usual evening dinner, the poet was perfect for this. The 7 course meal allowed us to try several different dishes which were all cooked perfectly and extremely flavourful. Staff were very attentive and chatty as well. Overall we had a great experience and would highly recommend.

10/10An amazing experience! We had dinner at "The Poet" restaurant last week and it was truly a special evening. The warm welcome, the sublime aesthetics of the venue and the kindness of the staff proved to be comforting and enveloping elements, guaranteeing a sense of pleasantness and relax. The menu and cuisine are also excellent. Particular note of prestige goes to the Maitre Emmanuel: a helpful, kind and friendly professional. The perfection of formalities did not prevent him from being present, pleasant and from accompanying us on a human level throughout the evening. A big thank you to Emmanuel and the restaurant "The Poet" which I recommend for a special evening!

4/10Very slow service. 30 minutes before receiving our drinks - overall a 2 hour evening having only a main course. Food not worth the wait, nor the price sadly.

7/10Sooo disappointing. Only 4 tables in the restaurant and they took 45 minutes to get our appetizers. Clearly someone forgot to put in order. This restaurant got great reviews from Tripadvisors and clearly something is wrong here. The menu was very limited and food was good, not great, just good. The drinks were also ok. Would not recommend or go back.

3/10Read all negative reviews and still gave it a chance! What a fool am I! The food is okay, not a disaster, but nothing good neither. Drinks, atmosphere are the same. But fine, lets talk about the service. Waiters are not trained, waiting time is over the limit, plus, as cherry on top, they wanted us to pay twice. So never again.
The Poet • Owner
Dear Alena, Thank you for taking the time to share your recent experience at The Poet. Your observations are very important to us as it will help our team improve our quality of service. Allow me to insist on the fact that our Chef is using seasonal products and as much as possible found locally.

5.5/10Restaurant was at all not the same as portraited on the website. It is part of a hotel, where the staff was not well trained. Food was ok but not great.
The Poet • Owner
Dear Lena, Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. Our restaurant is indeed in our hotel, accessible by our guest in house guests by the lobby or by our outside guests by its door next to the hotel entrance door. Your observations are important to us and it will help the entire team improve their quality of service. Rest assured we are currently training the new joiners of the team, hence, that kind of situation will not happen again in the future. I do hope you will give us the opportunity to better serve you upon your next visit. Best regards, Clément Aupin Director of Operations

5/10The service is below any acceptable level. For 9 tables, there were 6 waiters, but most of time busy looking at their phones. Waiting time to order drinks was 20 minutes. After finishing the starters nobody cleaned our plates. After the main dishes arrived (40 minutes) the waitress was annoyed that we didn’t make place on the table in order for her to put down the dishes… Do not order wine per glass as all come from distributors, absolutely undrinkable as you only feel the alcohol . Unbelievable that a 5 star hotel hosts such a restaurant..
