We went to the Commander with good hope for it to become our new weekend favorite spot as we have a 2y old and they offer a free nursery service upstairs.
When we got there the place was so hot that we started feeling unwell. Not a pleasant experience, then I decided to give a try to the creche as soon my dish arrived in our table. Anyone with kids knows how hard it is to have peaceful meal in a restaurant.
When I opened the creche's door, I saw 2 girls in their mid 20's seating and really concentrated in their IPhones. They just look at us and said HI then continued with their IPhone.. Hey c'mon who will care for my son? Do you think a 2 years old boy will stay alone in a room with a few toys where the average temperature was like 30 degrees celsius? I stayed with my son up for 15min and none of the 2 girls even stood up to play. I was really sad because I had invited friends with a 1.5 years little girl to this place.
All in all: The place looks nice. The food was fine. The restaurant service was really nice. But the creche was a complete let down and they need to understand they are not running a sauna.

Nice place, nice atmosphere, and nice food though not so exceptional and memorable, however seriously overpriced. Its pricing policy shows why its usually 80% empty and Cote round the corner is always full.

Amazing - Amazing, I have to say it again because it was so good. The food was done to prefection. We went with a party of nine, and everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. I had the oysters which were just great, then I had the portorhouse steak - too much for one, but somehow I managed to pack it all in.
Best of all, was the waitering staff who were a delight, attentive but not intrusive. Go here if you want good food and exceptional service.
10 out of 10
