Just had the most amazing lobster and steak in this wonderful restaurant. Absolutely outstanding. Thank you. Will return
At first sight this place looked like an opportunity to get seated without booking beforehand. Promising menu, acceptable price. But!!! 2 minutes needed to have an evening spoilt and impression about Gent”s hospitality destroyed. In Surtoe grill restaurant hardly may a miracle ever happen to whoever faced with their worn-out female waiter. Rude, irritable, inhospitable, prejudiced negative attitude towards Ukrainians. Beware of Surtoe grill restaurant!
Terrible experience. 1. You are forced to order both a starter and a main course. No choice. 2. The waiter clearly shows dissatisfaction with your presence through their attitude and behavior. 3. The wine tasting turns into an attempt to pour almost 100 ml. When you try to stop it, the wine is spilled onto the tablecloth. 4. When you ask to replace the tablecloth, you are pointed to the door and told that you will not be served. 5. When you politely ask what is wrong, the staff starts shouting in a rude, almost provincial manner. Terrible place Don’t recommend
A very very good, honest restaurant serving excellent seafood. We had a delicious prawn starter, with a couple of showstopping mains. The tuna was cooked perfectly, and the Dover sole equally so. Good wine and a friendly atmosphere meant we had a lovely time at Surtoe. Before coming here I had read the reviews and was a little apprehensive about the welcome we would get, but this is a welcoming family run restaurant. Hospitality is a difficult trade, and part of your bargain as a customer is to go in and order food and drink. I can well understand an owner not being happy with customers who don't order appropriately. We have no complaints here!

Walking down the street in Ghent looking for a place to eat and relax we found a place called Surtoe. It looks inviting so we decided to try it. We were immediately greeted and politely greeted Ordered and were promptly served. The mussels and pasta were phenomenal! As was the beer. Fun and comfortable place that I highly recommend.

Great service, efficient. Delicious food right in the center, and you can often find a spot when your other favorite spots are full.
