Reviews of Commis
"Loved the ambiance of Commis and the staff are extremely friendly. The Commis old fashion was prob the best style old fashion I ever had. The tables are perfectly lit to set an intimate mood with really comfortable chairs and craftsmanship of tables. The servers wipe down the tables after every course. The food courses started off really strong with their seafood offerings and kind of hit a wall with some of the other dishes that came after and reinserted themselves with their desserts. Some of the dishes may leave you thinking something was missing when it came to flavors or this is a strange combination on others. We did find a long blonde strand hair in our calamansi fish sauce dessert which was unfortunate so we didn't eat it"
"I dined here back in August and got the tasting menu. It was a very creative meal and it was fun to try new ingredients for the first time, such as, lotus root and guinea hen. Their signature dish, slow poached egg yolk with smoked dates, alliums, and malt was one of my favorite things that I ate all year, it was true perfection. I also especially loved the tomatoes with oysters, scallion rice, celtuce with mussels, and the pain perdu dessert. Commis was also a pretty good price compared to the other 2 michelin starred restaurants in the area."
"What an experience. From the time a waiter-not a host- takes your raincoat, scarf and umbrella to the time Alice gives you them back, you are treated with unpretentious 5-Star Quality Service. The first course was three small amuses- bouches; a total of 11 courses in all. All three bites were uniquely delicious and set a terrific tone for an exciting meal. We didn't know what was coming. And we didn't ask. It was only after the experience were we given a menu of everything we tasted; a delightful reminder of all the flavor town. There were only two preparations of the 11 that weren't as enjoyable as all the rest. Although a curious and pleasing plate to the eye, the "vinegar of black rice and blueberries", didn't work for me with the "skate and buckwheat." However, the fish by itself was very good. And the "matcha with soybean milk, fermented, black bean caramel looked lovely. Perhaps my pallet isn't refined enough. We opted in for the freshly shaved truffles and wagyu beef bites to accompany the "scallion rice chanterelle mushroom miso from shared cultures with chicken broth," a chicken broth that was served on the side. Delicious. Everything was delicious, visually tantalizing, creatively conceived and left you saying yum. So yum, I was wiping up drops of the malt from the "slow poached egg yolk, smoked dates, alliums and malt" right off the beautifully crafted, seemingly brand new walnut table; every last drop. And oh my God that Levain bread. Fhaaa...ghettaboutit. Dipped in the malt with the yolk and the dates, this might be one of the best things you'll ever eat. Well done Chef Syhabout. I paired my courses with the wine, sake, sparkling, and port offerings. My girlfriend did not. Expect to pay $900 for such a meal, $200 upfront when you reserve a table in the dining room. What a touch of class, all the way around. From escorting and opening the WC door for you, to the surprise gold birthday candle set in hot wax on a gorgeous plate with a stunning chocolate and peanut butter passion fruit cake presented on delicate chocolate petals ( see photo), Commis is a real touch of class. C'était vraiment magnifique. Merci."
"Is it worth ~700 DLLS (meal + corkage)? No. When you compare it with the likes of Marlena (RIP), Kin Khao, even Niku it is very hard to make an argument for trying this place. We don’t regret it but I can’t convince myself to go again. With that said let’s start. Let’s get it out of the way and say that the food and service was extraordinary. For me the best dish was the tapioca dumpling, a cream dish with egg (see picture), the levain bread/butter, and the two desserts. We got the optional wagyu beef and it was so cold at serve time it was actually disappointing (don’t get it). Also, the place was so cold me and my partner were freezing all night long haha"
"Stopped in at the bar for a short tasting experience during a work trip. The service was among the best I've ever received and the atmosphere was upscale but approachable. Overall, the food was tasty, but far from what my expectations were from reading other reviews and from a 2-star establishment. The bread was truly phenomenal, but everything else lacked the "wow" factor. I'm wondering if the full tasting menu would have been more interesting - I would probably stop in again to try their full experience."
