Commune Restaurant — Restaurant in Haarlemmermeer

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Commune Restaurant, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience, thanks in large part to the exceptional service provided by our cheerful and attentive waiter, Angel. From start to finish, Angel's warm and engaging personality added a special touch to our meal.

Upon entering Commune Restaurant, I was immediately struck by the inviting ambiance. The decor was tasteful, and the lighting created an intimate and cozy atmosphere that was perfect for a relaxing evening. It was evident that Commune Restaurant pays great attention to creating a welcoming environment for its patrons.

However, what truly set this dining experience apart was the exceptional service provided by Angel. From the moment we were seated, he greeted us with a warm smile and a genuine enthusiasm that immediately put us at ease. His attentiveness to our needs was truly remarkable. He was always nearby, ready to assist with any request or question we had.

What impressed me most about Angel was his ability to strike the perfect balance between being attentive and giving us space to enjoy our meal. He was there when we needed him, offering recommendations and ensuring our glasses were never empty, yet he also knew when to step back and let us savor our food and conversation.

Thank you for everything, Angel. We will undoubtedly return to Commune Restaurant to relive this wonderful experience. Your dedication to making our evening special did not go unnoticed, and we look forward to our...

Food was decent, but really disappointing service. Restaurant closes at 11. We showed up at 9:00 and the waitress seemed reluctant to serve us—tried to direct us to a different restaurant at the same hotel. We took a seat anyway because we were already there. After that, service was mixed, but here’s the kicker: by about 9:45 the wait staff disappear. There’s still four active tables but not a server to be seen, so we can’t order dessert. At 10:05–after 20 minutes—I hail someone to order a dessert. He goes to inquire (of the same gal who initially sat us) and then reports back, “We do have that, but I’m sorry to report that the kitchen is closed.” So basically the wait staff slow baked everyone by not visiting the tables, then claimed “Sorry, we’re closed” when a customer tried to place a dessert order—55 minutes before the restaurant is scheduled to close. A proper server would’ve visited all active tables before the kitchen closed to make sure they were square, but these folks—particularly the gal who seated us—clearly just wanted to get out of...

Wanted to avoid the main airport restaurants, so I tried Commune after reading some decent reviews.

I arrived 15 minutes before the lunch menu started and was told only breakfast orders were available. The menu was very limited - mainly sandwiches, wraps, croissants, and pastries. I asked for a wrap, but they were out, so I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich. It arrived within a minute, clearly premade earlier and starting to go stale.

The sandwich cost €9.50 with no side - overpriced for something you’d expect at a petrol station café, maybe slightly better, but definitely not worth it, even by airport standards.

That said, the restaurant itself is really nice - quiet, comfortable, and a good place to relax if you have a long wait. The staff were excellent, friendly, and...
