   Was so glad to check out that sour. Great ambiance and an even better playlist. Loved the ability Toney many different items beaded in how they have their menu structured, even as a party of one. Sat at the bar alone and felt comfortable. The deviled eggs and dumplings were on point.

   Food was excellent; however, the greens were really salty.

   I love Communion. Such a unique dining experience and the food is typically phenomenal. I still whole heartedly recommend it. But the experience last night was not quite up to their usual standards. We ordered a lot of small plates. Yeats rolls and sushi was A+++. Prawns slightly overcooked and rubbery, Okra was a bit woody, and Uncs wings which they are known for while still good, took 40 minutes and they lacked the incredible spice levels they typically have. Add to this while the wait staff were kind, they did not acknowledge a Birthday which was noted on the reservations and the reason we were there. I think because they were busy we went pretty long periods with no check in. I was a bit disappointed, but don't get me wrong, everyone has a bad night sometimes and I'd totally go back.

   It’s very loud here and the service was very friendly but you can tell they are on a tight time clock. We were seated 20 min late but were told we had to leave our seating after eating for 80 minutes. I know this place is very popular and the food was really good. The hoecakes, mac and cheese were amazing!!! I’d totally get the food again but maybe take out next time.

   Everything was amazing! Every dish was gourmet so I can't and "shant" complain about the price lol. The portion sizes of the smaller dishes & appetizers were a little pricey but I'm ok with it because I usually over eat on appetizers and can never finish my main dish so I'm thankful because the smaller plates helped control the budget but I will admit they were all so good we did over indulge anyway lol. We're from Atlanta and we've had a hard time finding really good soul food in Seattle. Their fusion of soul and other cuisines was done so well! First, we booked the very first reservation and was first to show up and we're glad we did because many came trailing after us. The staff was so friendly and accommodating! Very helpful with food and drink choices as well. Let's get to the food (we ordered almost every dish but I'll highlight a few): Collard Greens (not the salad) WITH THE TURKEY was our favorite dish! It tasted like back home and probably topped our family's own recipe. I honestly would order next time just that with hoe cakes as my main dish lol. We were very pleased! The mac & cheese wasn't our usual baked type but it was still great. Deviled eggs were delicious, I just wish there were more than three for the price because we definitely wanted to order more. The hoe cakes IMMACULATE. We ordered four plates of them. Do I need to say more? The Mojo Chicken, my dad devoured and he's picky lol it was falling off the bone and was a WHOLE chicken. The Ramen with duck, DELICIOUS. The lamb tips was a little more Mediterranean style than Caribbean with the hummus and side bread (almost tasted like sourdough) that we forgot the name of. The lamb was cooked to perfection but the style of the cuisine wasn't quite our forte but it was still good. The mussels & clams and catfish sushi were good but compared to everything else on the menu, we could have done without them. Overall, 10/10 and will be back to try the rest of the menu!

   We were so excited to try Communion with all the hype around it for the past several years. Despite having a reservation we had to wait for 30 minutes to be seated. The food was ultimately fantastic but the long wait despite a reservation soured our experience. Not sure if we’ll go again.

    The food was amazing & top notch! Not one disappointing Bite! Our server was incredible and took amazing care of us! Our only poor experience was when the Host came over and told us that we needed to wrap it up because he had 2 reservation coming in. We were truly taken aback! We were celebrating a Birthday! We were a party of 4. The people at the same table as us was a party of 5 and had been there longer that we had been there. After spending $550 (pre tip), I was really upset and disappointed with that treatment! I’ll think twice about recommending or returning for a while!
