Very Good but overrated

Went to Commanders for the first time Oct. 2001. The atmosphere is good, but a little crowded. The service was OK, when they were around, but our wait staff must have had a shift change and we were forgotten...

Disappointing

Expected great food and service for the price - didn't get it. Food was served warm, not hot for 4 of the 6 at our table. Service was snooty, as if our server thought of us as "lowly" tourists. Had to ask for...
