Dock Of Tuna - Kemang — Restaurant in Jakarta

In the serene embrace of the Dock of Tuna, where the melody of live jazz gently caresses the soul every Sunday eve, one embarks on a culinary odyssey, exploring the depths of taste and texture. Amidst the symphony of chords, the culinary journey begins, unveiling treasures of the sea and land.

The star of the voyage, the tuna jaw, a symphony of flavors, dances upon the palate with the grace of a thousand waves. Each bite a revelation, a tribute to the artistry of the sea. Accompanied by the siren call of sambal, a harmonious union of spice and succulence, it elevates the senses to ethereal heights.

But lo, amidst this gastronomic reverie, a shadow looms, casting doubt upon the perfection of the voyage. The server, a mere mortal in the grand tapestry of experience, falters in the dance of time. With each languid step, the rhythm of service slows to a crawl, disrupting the harmonious flow of the evening.

Yet, in the face of imperfection, there lies beauty. For in the waiting, patience blossoms like a lotus in the stillness of a pond. Time itself becomes a melody, a tempo to be embraced rather than resisted. And when at last, the aglio e olio graces the table, its simplicity belies its complexity, a reminder that perfection lies not in haste, but in the journey itself.

Thus, amidst the ebb and flow of flavors and time, the Dock of Tuna emerges not merely as a restaurant, but as a sanctuary of taste and reflection. A place where the soul finds solace in the symphony of senses, and where every moment, whether swift or slow, becomes a note in the eternal melody...

I would describe my experience to be mid at best, disappointing at worst (for the price).

That was fine and understandable but what was a bit annoying was that our table was right next to the band leading my family and I to barely have space to walk in and out of our booth. When we asked our waitress if we could move to the other empty tables, it was not possible as they were all booked with “regular guests who booked specific tables.” Why even book guests to sit at the worst table right next to the band? We wanted to watch the show not be part of it. Additionally a waitress came to the table and suddenly told us that there was a 35k per person fee for the music despite it not being mentioned in the WhatsApp messages earlier when we asked. Thankfully we did not end up getting charged for this.

These incidents really threw my family’s experience here as it led to a bad taste in our mouths. Hopefully management can provide their staff better training to make sure guests feel comfortable. The meal was great (not a bad value for its price) but sadly our experience could...
