Review John Dory bluff

Well it is finally time I review here like I will do all of the platforms available. I am concerned the care from management is dead as I recently had a problem with a huge order of ten meals and 9 of the ten have been sick in some sort of way. (Stool issues)

So tonight I decided to do as I do .... and that’s to review . Firstly I gave the restaurant a chance for change when I caught the owner outside the restaurant and pointed out the issues of the meal that caused drama. He stated to me that he will look into it and get someone to call me. Our discussion had occurred around 0800-0900 around there. Unfortunately even with me coming here to do a proper review tonight.... I still have not been contacted regarding this dilemma except for one person. (Robert Allers) who clearly was concerned about the problems created and once again tried to explain and cover up as to why no one had contacted me. I believe what he was told to tell myself is an investigation was underway ...... completely nonsense as no one bothered to give me that information.


So tonight I do my review

I begin with two starters

Jalapeño poppers - 1/10
Poor popper and possibly the worst I have ever had. The popper was covered in an amazing batter which I really loved but the actual jalapeño was hard as an uncooked and old jalapeño . The filling was undercooked which meant that the crushing taste when you bite a popper was gone..... this means, there was absolutely no melting effect whatsoever and to be quite honest . A sick attempt at making such a great starter.

The chicken liver. 5/10

Wonderful taste in the sauce which I kept dunking my bread which is the highlight of the starter . The actual chicken liver was so rubbery I believe a basketball match was able to be played with one or two of these liver pieces.

Main meal
Coast 2 coast R99 special 2/10 ... the chips saved you ...

Presentation was not ideal having my sauce falling over my fish and my prawns placed overlapping my fish

Prawns where bland with drizzle of sauce on top to try hide it’s horrific shit bland taste

The fish - no seasoning , bland and down right horrible. Seems a store that quiet is not a store to eat . (Yes I have been the only table sitting here so I would of expected a little better quality. How embarrassing

Thanks for at least giving me chips that was amazing otherwise I was going to bed hungry

Other:

Waiter (Sthoko) was an absolute star with the manager doing his part asking each step how it was and unfortunately having to hear exactly how I believed it to be .

Overall a very horrible evening and hoping someone does something about this as clearly seems a lack of care is at this center in regards to changes and bettering itself when there is super staff capable to make it happen but there is defiantly a lack of morale seen . I don’t know if the store will be able to make it change as I don’t want to ask the waiters why.


Finally I have been watching this store and it’s good for weeks .... spending (rechecked today ) over R20 000 so far and I don’t believe the high level management actually cares for change example: owner

John dory head office I best believe your head should pop in for a good while.
