I go to from work, and our connection there is pretty good. Do you assume the problem could be in your end?

We had reservations which were promptly honored. The place was crowded, the noise was deafening, the food was okay. When the food was delayed for so long I thought they were busy in the kitchen. When the food arrived I couldn't figure out why it took so long since it was not even hot. The wait people kept refilling our glasses with sparkling water, bringing one carafe after the next; it got annoying and I asked them to stop refilling the glasses so often and the waitress said oh we just keep refilling them leading me to believe that the water was "on the house". Not so, 8 carafes and $40 later. All in all, I wouldn't run back there. Definitely not a place to go if you want to have any kind of conversation. But it does have a kind of charm, which I'm still trying to figure out. Bread is good. A group of us went to Comme Ca last night for dinner. We had reservations which were promptly honored.

When the crowd filled in behind the bar it must have been uncomfortable for the people seated in those tables closest to the bar area. I know they had a party of about 15 they were waiting for, because the tables by the cheese bar had been set up for a party of that size and stayed empty the whole time we were there, so maybe that's what threw things off ... but it seems like a party of that size should be seated in the very back of the house, rather than the very front.

For starters there's too much bustle for comfort. If you make a reservation and spend the money you should get a calmer area to enjoy your meal. Also, the drinks, cheese and apps are the best part of the menu- why not devote part of the restaurant to those?
