I am the parent of Win who left a bad review here last week. I was there with him on that morning of Tuesday 2 June, visiting Dunedin together, transaction at 9:52am for $40 says "COMMONS OTEPOTI" on my BNZ debit card. We had absolutely horrible service, arriving at 9:35am, stood at the door by the "wait to be seated" sign for 10 minutes (I checked my watch because we looked at the time when walking in), trying to make eye contact with any of the three wait staff that were going in and out of the kitchen/bar area and to tables, seeming to go out of their way to not look our way. One man and two women, engaged in conversation some of the time. Were you that man? So we eventually sat ourselves, despite the sign, then waited for a menu, but nobody came after a few minutes so we went to the counter and ordered, and got a very surly response from the woman, but took our payment at 9:52am according to BNZ. Then nobody brought us water so after a long wait we went back by the kitchen and got our own water bottle and two glasses. Then later they brought the food, which was OK. My son likes leaving Google reviews so he left what he felt was his honest review. Really terrible service and OK food. And when seeing that review, the owner named Dave, searches his name, finds his personal website, lies and says he was offering to build you a website, and say he was never in Dunedin, and then read through his site to find his school and CONTACT HIS SCHOOL IN WELLINGTON TO GET HIM IN TROUBLE?!? To get him pulled out of class and reprimanded with your lie? This is borderline criminal harassment, and I hope you consider what has gone wrong in your judgement that led you to think that was the right thing to do because of one honest review of the bad service at your cafe.

Commons has a good vibe and staff were great. Let down by unimaginative menu which was poorly executed. In some cases poor choice of bread for a dish, in others just poor quality ingredients (GF bread option for example). If you just want a bowl of chips and coffee, this is your place. If you're after interesting, well-crafted food - at the mo, there are much better options. Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Meal type: Brunch Price per person: $20–30
