Superlative. I cannot think when I’ve had a better time dining; staff was very friendly and engaging and informative. The food is simply amazing, and I personally absolutely love the bar dining experience. Came here with a good friend, cannot wait to come back and bring the wife.

Best fine dining experience I've had. Extremely balanced dishes, even the ones you don't prefer, but you can respect the work and fine tuning that went into it. Chef owner is obviously very talented. It is not easy to earn let alone maintain Michell stars.

What an experience. Definitely a bucket list item for a very special occasion. This was a 3+ hour gastronomical adventure. Each dish was perfectly prepared with flavors that just kept exploding. My favorite was the slow poached egg yolk (I don’t know how they do this). Service was attentive and although the tables were wood (not linen) I noticed that they surreptitiously wiped it down after each dish. The surprise was that there was a set of chopsticks at each place settings which were activated at around course 8 (the menu is 10 courses), when they bought a bowl of rice which was deliciously cooked and accompanied by a glass of bouillon to add some flavor as you devoured the rice. Overall a superb experience and well worth the ~$350 - $400 person price tab.

Simply put, Commis is a masterpiece. Had the privilege to indulge in their bar menu and was extremely happy with the experience. From the wonderful flavors created in the kitchen, the very kind and helpful staff down to the picture perfect plating and perfect execution of service. If you appreciate fine dining, you will love Commis.

Extraordinary food, fully deserving of its two Michelin stars. The 10 course tasting menu is a must, and is mainly focused on seafood. It is inventive and masterful. We were there for 3 1/2 hours enjoying some of the best food I've ever eaten. The staff were knowledge, precise and very friendly - not always something you get at high end restaurants. The wine pairing is highly recommended, with a wide range of unusual wines, that complement the food so well. It is eye-watteringly expensive - we paid $500 per person all in, but it is worth it. Thank you to all the staff at Commis for a truly special experience.

There are meals you enjoy, and then there are meals that quietly recalibrate your standards. Having experienced more than twenty Michelin two-star (and above) restaurants around the world, I can say without hesitation that our evening at Commis now lives among the very best. The 11-course tasting menu unfolded like a composition. The opening four courses were, quite simply, the most extraordinary sequence of flavor, texture, and presentation I have ever encountered. Each dish felt both restrained and daring — precise yet emotional. Flavors layered upon one another with clarity and purpose. Nothing shouted. Everything resonated. There was an elegance to the progression — a confidence in letting ingredients speak in their purest voice while still surprising the palate. Technique was evident but never performative. The balance between imagination and discipline was remarkable. And then there was the service. From the captain to the sommelier, every member of the team moved with quiet grace. The room felt intimate, choreographed yet entirely natural. My wife and I were cared for in a way that made the evening feel effortless and deeply personal. It was, in every sense, a perfect date night. Commis does not simply serve food. It creates an experience that lingers — thoughtful, intimate, and unforgettable.

I've always heard excellent things about it, but Commis really delivered on an exceptional experience, the irony is I've been watching all of the Michelin star shows on Netflix, where they talk about the service, the atmosphere and the food, and to see all of those blended together in this impeccable experience, was one of the best of my life. Thank you to the team at Commis.

I went to Commis on my birthday. The food was amazing, creative and good mix of flavors. The atmosphere is very cozy and chill. Servers were all nice and they all wished me happy birthday. The chef come to the table for one of the dishes. One thing I wish had been better was the service: although the servers were kind, they rushed through explaining the dishes, which made the experience feel less refined compared to the level of attention I’ve received at other Michelin-starred restaurants.

Commis is a place we’ve been wanting to try for awhile, so I booked a table for my wife’s birthday… First off, the communication by there host team is impeccable. They wanted to know if it was a special occasion and what dietary restrictions there are. Granted, this is a 2 Star Michelin rated restaurant, so this was to be expected. The service team was great and the Somm was entertaining. In terms of space, it’s very clean cut, nearly stark in decor. There is ample room between tables to carry on a nice conversation. We wished the seats were a tad more comfortable, but they were fine. As for the food, you really get to embark on a journey. A couple dishes were a miss from our standpoint, but not that they were bad, but just not our preference. The team likes to keep its patrons in suspense when it comes to “what’s next”, but it made it kind of fun too. The Pacific Oyster that started our dining experience was phenomenal! The slow poached egg dish, the trout, and the Scallion rice were highlights for us. All-in-all, it was a fantastic dining experience!

I celebrated my 62nd birthday at Commis Restaurant, 2 Michelin star, with my adorably daughter and my wonderful sister, who hosted the dinner , and I can honestly say it was an experience unlike any I’ve ever had. This was my first tasting dinner at such an exquisite and beautiful restaurant, and it exceeded every expectation. The food was absolutely delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and beautifully presented. The drinks were exceptional, and the service was impeccable. Every member of the staff was attentive and warm, making us feel truly cared for throughout the evening. I especially want to mention our host, Brandon, who was incredibly welcoming, accommodating, and made the entire experience feel effortless and special. The atmosphere was intimate and elegant—slightly dark, but in a way that felt romantic and immersive rather than distracting. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. Thank you for creating such a memorable evening for a very special birthday. I truly hope I’m able to return again someday. This was a night I will never forget.
