This was our first time at Commis and it was amazing! The food was excellent and the 10 courses left me just the right amount of full. We did the drink pairing with our courses and it was perfect, I definitely recommend adding that to the experience. Chef outdid themselves and the service was 10/10. We will be back!

Service was excellent and food was surprisingly good across the board. I say surprisingly because we picked it largely out of geographic convenience before a concert. But every dish was quite well done. And drinks were good as well. Would go back in a heartbeat if I’m in the area. And shout out to the wait-staff for pacing everything out really well in a full restaurant before a show at the Greek Theatre.

We had a great anniversary dinner at Boulevard. The food was excellent and the staff/management even had a handwritten and signed anniversary card for us. Thank you for a memorable night.

    Had a great night on the deck outside. We were on our way to the Greek Theater for a concert and Mario was extremely helpful with directing us to the proper entree in order to keep us on a proper time line. The outside dining was fantastic for an October evening and the dishes we selected were outstanding. My compliments.
