| - So disappointed in my latest visit to Kazimierz. I have been here before for live jazz and really enjoyed it. I liked the flights and the food.
However, we went here Sunday and I was sorely disappointed. Firstly, we picked it because a local website said they do Flamenco music on Sundays. I should have checked the website of Kazimierz itself since there was no flamenco music. That part is not their fault. What is their fault is that the band they did have was, frankly, below average. A guy on drums, a guy on guitar sort of muttering very quietly into a mic for a few minutes between sitting with his buddies drinking for about fifteen minutes. Not worth a $5 cover, folks. Get some real talent in here, please or don't charge me the cover to watch the "band" drink and goof off with their friends at the table next to me.
Secondly, we walk in and the place is totally done up in Christmas decorations. It just really cheapened the whole place and I don't remember this place being so kitsch. I felt sort of gross and like I was in a bad sitcom. My first visit here was sort of that magical experience of finding somewhere unique with a great atmosphere of elegance, chic but relaxed at the same time. Now, seriously, I wanted to laugh out loud when I walked in the door.
Thirdly, service was awful. Slow, snobby and inattentive. I don't recall that from my past visits. Our waitress was seriously abysmal and more than once I was tempted to flag down someone else since she was just so cold, unhelpful and unfriendly. Do you want me to order more so I can give you a bigger tip or don't you?
Fourthly, we really wanted to have some cheese with our wine so we asked for a food menu and were told, oh, yeah, we closed the kitchen early tonight. Just as an FYI, the bouncer taking my cover charge should have said something, or your website should have said something, or the server should have said something when she first graced us with her presence. We were there at 9, not that late, seriously. I have checked their website and there was nothing about them closing early, a little miffed about that.
So, overall, pretty disappointing and I have to say while it's dressed up like someone's trailer park, I don't think I'll come back to spend a lot of money on some average local band someone knows and bad service even if the wine is good.
The one thing I liked was the Tour de France flights they had offered since it is that time of year. I'm still giving it 2 stars because I have had a good time here in the past.
