when you hear a new place has come up in town, and carries raving reviews you want to visit asap.
that is what we did on a saturday evening, with prior reservation. to a packed house pulsating with music.
an 8:45 reservation, and we were temporarily seated till 9:30pm. with 2 of our friends standing next to us.
the manager kept looking for a table and reassuring us of getting one soon.
after asking for the nth time a table was given to us.
while we waited we placed our orders, which took a long time coming.
it was hard to attract the eye of the servers, and almost impossible to talk over the music. when a server finally attended to is, he kept looking all over the place as we attempted to ask him about the dishes on the menu. 'i have to look after everyone' was his reply, after we reprimanded him.
by now we were hungry and impatient, and reaching a point of annoyance.
sensing what was happening, the floor manager, a lady approached our table , asked us what the issue was and assigned another , more interested and cheerful server , to us.
after this the food and drinks arrived faster than before.
the food is plated well and tastes just about ok. we tried the calamari, chicken wings and pork.
when it came to the bill we were entitled to 2 discounts, thanks to booking through an app.
while the first one was given to us, we were refused the 2 nd one, with no plausible explanation.
the only good part of the evening was the music.
and yes, the grand finale: our car had a huge scratch, when the valet handed it back to us.
a very disappointing evening and i certainly would not recommend kommune to anyone.
