Commis - Oakland

The cocktails, the food show and the drinks pairing were all nice. I enjoyed the love and beer pair on two of the courses, as well as not so frequent wines to keep things interesting. All pairings were perfectly matched with the delicious courses.

Great place for celebrations and special occasions. I enjoyed all the courses. Each dish was prepared uniquely with a large coating. My favorites were salmon, duck, chicken broth and chicken and tapioca ducks. Both salmon and butter melt almost in the mouth. I like the sun choke and lemon sauce with salmon. It cost $250 per person only for food. Very recommended for anyone who can spend a little extra for a very refined dinner experience.

I had the tasting of vegetables, Prix Fixe meal. Everything was fresh (so fresh!!! complex and contemplative. Some of the dishes were more subtle and earthy, but the stars were excellent. There was a vegetarian caviar court that tasted like I remember caviar. It was just wonderful. My only criticism; the foam on the opening coarse was a teeny bit jarring. It was beautiful and complex, but I think it was a touch of salt-- loved the heat though. The Pandan beer was a little too syrupy and reminded me of the old Coca Cola. I think something to increase the Pandan. Maybe a muddy basil or some tartberries? The honey-terragon wildflower drink, however, was straw shaking. Totally deleted. All in all, I definitely understand the 2 Michael Star rating. Well deserved. And the staff was so sweet.

Wow, what am I supposed to say about this place? It's the most amazing food experience I've ever had! Everything on point, the staff amazing, the food.... Oh, my God, sooo divine! I was so full of cocktails, yummy yummy, I suggest the blood orange sidecar! You also have a drink if you don't know what you want with the courses.

The eight course meal with wine and drink pairings we're VERY good. The service by multiple waiters (male female) was impeccable. New plates, silverware, and glasses for every course. We even had some foods served to us between courses. The waitstaff we're all very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. The only drawback is that it got pretty loud as the accoustics are not that great, but if you can deal with that then it is worth the price.
