Comme

I dropped in to the front lounge for a drink about 9pm on a friday and it was lovely. Friendly staff who helped my boyfriend find a nice glass of red, and some delicious tokay. Quiet and relaxing.

This review is to put in a good word for Comme’s set lunch.
Though the acoustics are pretty bad (or the background noise too loud — either way I would limit your group size to four to ensure everyone can actually hear what is going on), I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the meal on the whole.
With a limited set menu, our group tried a bit of everything and everyone was really happy with the presentation and quality of dishes. The lunch set is $ 25/​$ 35/​$ 45 for one, two or three courses, respectively, and comes with a glass of Victorian white or red. No complaints with the service, and in general they were extremely attentive.
Comme’s also not a bad choice for after work drinks, especially if you want to mingle with the professional crowd or people watch over a glass of vino.

Friday night drinks have never been the same after coming with some colleagues to Comme.
This place provides a drinking hole for those of us who enjoy a quiet, classy space where you’re not bothered by the likes of sleazy men, inebriated women and tacky décor.
I didn’t realise at first that this venue had a restaurant but it does provide a small space to eat as well. Comme does get quite packed on an eventful after work drinks night so be prepared to wait a while to get a drink, the bar is your standard run-​of-​the-​mill pub style and pricing is pretty fair.
This is definitely a venue for a quiet crowd who appreciate a great place to drink, chat and is a popular place to liaise with clients and business colleagues.

For many a year now, bars have been overpopulated by younger crowds. The oldies have been forced into the local pub, restaurants, home even! And I feel sorry them. Nobody caters for the oldies. And then there was Comme.
Do not go here if you’re young. It’s not for you. This place is all class; it’s quiet, it’s elegant, the interior reaches heavenly levels of beauty, and the wine list is both extensive and pricey.
Come back from your pubs, from your shady corners of Melbourne, you finally have a place to take your clients, your boss, your coworkers, your Friday-​night-​drinking-​buddies, your first dates, your last dates, your wives and husbands, and even your mistresses.

What’s that?
…
I can’t hear you!
…
Oh, a game?
…
Okay, so the first one to make it to the bar without getting their ass pinched wins?
…
You’re on!

So, Comme is several things. A bar which is one of Melbourne’s best meat markets on a Friday night, a restaurant which is lovely though pricey for what you get, and an event space.
I’ve heard delightful things about the event space — apparently gorgeous for weddings and whatnot.
The bar is everything it sounds like. If you’re looking for a drink and someone to take home after work on a Friday, don’t mind yelling at everyone and being pushed up against strangers, then it’s great. As far as bars go, it’s got a great menu, drinks are fairly standard prices, it’s a nice setting and the staff are friendly.
The restaurant element is fairly small given the size of the place but that is easily rectified with a reservation. The rather intriguing part is the dishes which seem really reasonably priced (around the $ 20 mark) until you’re informed they’re tapas-​sized and you need to get many for the table. It’s definitely not bad, but it’s also not rave-​about-​for-​months-​afterwards great.
So there you have it. Comme.
Oh, and Comme is pronounced like the ‘com’ in ‘communist’, not «kommie» like I’ve heard. Weirdos.
