Nestled by the canal, this restaurant offers a picturesque setting perfect for summer dining. Guests appreciate the outdoor seating and friendly staff, making it a favored spot for brunch and drinks. However, the experience is marred by consistently long wait times for food, sometimes exceeding an hour, leading to frustration among patrons. Service shortcomings have been noted, with customer relations lacking during delays.

What EFinners dislikes about Commissary:
Went for lunch with a friend, asked when ordering how the wait was on food and we were told 15 minutes. An hour later one of our sandwiches arrived, with no acknowledgement that we were still waiting on a second. About ten mins later I asked the member of staff if the other was on its way, I got a grunt and a scowl, and I actually ended up apologising for asking about it !!!? . When finally the second sandwich arrive... View all feedback.
I recently had a delightful Sunday brunch at this restaurant. The staff were very friendly and the outdoor seating area was fantastic, situated right by the canal. Just a reminder, you will need to buzz the gate on the bridge to enter the restaurant.
We have visited this restaurant multiple times over the years while working and living nearby. The food is good and the location is lovely for the summer as you can sit by the canal. The downside, however, is the long wait times. On several occasions, I had to wait at least half an hour to receive my food, which is half of my lunch break. Last Friday, the wait time increased to an hour. When I approached the staff about the delay, they mentioned that they were extremely busy. I believe that our order was mistakenly given to someone else by the waitress. Although they offered a refund, we still had to pay for the drinks we ordered while waiting for our food. The refund did not satisfy my hunger. I do not plan on returning to this restaurant and would advise others not to go, unless you are willing to wait an hour for your food.
I really enjoy this bar by the canal. It has a great selection of drinks and the staff is friendly and helpful. The seating on the wharf is plentiful and on warm summer days, it gets quite busy because it's such a pleasant spot. I have been here multiple times and both myself and my friends really like this place.
