Was very excited to try the reincarnation of Toldboden as it is such an idyllic spot to sit outside on the Copenhagen harbor. Could not have been more frustrated with the experience. Our group of 8 was originally squished into a table with three to a bench seat and two at the ends facing the parking lot. We were then moved to the "deck" and still with the awkward 3-man bench seats. While paper menus are at each table, to order you must scan a QR code and place your order linked to your specific table number.
Each person or pair can order for themselves from the 7 separate little restaurants inside. We wanted to sample a little something from several - but here's the flaw in the concept. After pre-paying for your food from your phone, you await a text message that each item is ready to pick up. Unless you remember exactly what you ordered from each place - and with no pictures on the app - it's difficult to keep track of which dish was ordered from where as the text message doesn't tell you what item is ready.
Once you've tracked all of your orders down, you have be a professional server yourself carrying back all the specially plated small dishes back to your table or go back 5-6 times (depending on how many dishes you ordered.)
It's disruptive to the dining experience - especially in a group. We all ate at different times - and sometimes main before starters. Half the time, someone at the table had to excuse themselves to go pick up their next dish after disrupting the other two diners on your shared (awkward) bench seats.
Servers are supposed to take drink orders and bring to your table, but we found it quicker to get from the bar ourselves. Some of the dishes were delicious, but others mediocre for the price. I wouldn't recommend. I would be fine ordering and paying via an app, but then servers should bring out the food. It didn't seem like the concept cut down on man-power, but upped customer...
Read moreMy wife and I were seated outside and given menus. A couple came five minutes later sitting to our right and were given water , menus and information. This was done by the female server who cleaned our table and seated us.Then a couple sit behind us with the same service . Ten minutes later a couple were seated to my left. Fifteen minutes after we were seated I asked the male server taking their order if someone would take our order and bring water. The couple on my right were presented their food. Our drinks were brought and my wife went to the bathroom. My Shrimp Quesadilla came . My wife’s Charcuterie did not. We waited another 15 minutes with the couple to my right finishing their meals. Myself not touching the Quesadilla.My wife got up and told the male server that took our order that we were leaving. He asked if he could check on her order and she told him that we had been ignored enough and that we were leaving . Several minutes later we got up and told the girl who sit us and took care of the couple beside us that we were leaving . That we were not paying for the food that came and the drinks that were sipped on. She looked at us and said ok. This review is on lack of service only .Ive given less than a handful of bad reviews on this platform. Other than one bite of the Quesadilla we did not get to...
