grand café København

05/09/2024: I preface this review by saying that the main server was excellent however the entire experience was dominated by the interaction with the front of house. We arrived to a practically empty restaurant and were told to sit right next to the only other table being served. Following that we waited over 15 minutes for any sign of service. I then went up to the front bar kindly enquiring if it was possible to order. The front of house then barked at me as if I was a dog saying that I had to wait to be seated before ordering. I then reminded her that she sat us down at the table shortly prior. She did not believe me and said that I had to wait till they could seat me down and that I shouldn’t expect to order without being assigned a table. All with an aggressive tone. I then pointed at my friend and belongings that were perfectly seated at the table. She then apologised saying that she was tired. There is absolutely no reason to be aggressive in this setting with paying customers. Can only imagine it had a lot to do with being a tourist as the same front of house seemed to change demeanours as soon as she interacted with the table next to us who were locals. Food was otherwise great but would not worth the risk of having that sort of emotionally charged interaction. Do better and show a little kindness!

18/08/2024: Delicious tapas, served on long planks, with a wide variety of fish, shellfish, vegetable creminettes and delicious tender meat. A cozy, and definitely recommended value houseboat restaurant. The only downside: glass of wine from 110 / 142 kr. bottle of white wine (in a cool bag) kr 440. I have to say it was also paid for.
