Commis

OH BOY WAS I PLEASANTLY SURPRISED AND THEN SOME, PLUS MORE!!!!! Maximum Respect for the entire experience, all across the board! PERFECT EXPERIENCE!!!

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

Amazing experience! Service was incredible the moment we walked through the door. Really interesting fusion flavors - we left so satisfied. Totally worth it!

Amazing! Best fine dining in Oakland

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.

Everything you expect from a michelin 2 star restaurant. Great service, great food, small servings, expensive bill. Come in with realistic expectations and you will not be disappointed Parking: Typical oakland parking (or lack there of)

Oakland and combined with congested place

Dined here a while back and it seems they don’t change much of the food items. I think a 2 star restaurant shouldn’t serve their tasting menu items on chipped plates. Food could be more creative and executed better for this caliber of an establishment. The beet dish was supposed to have finger limes. It didn’t and when we asked the server they seemed to just shrug his shoulders. The congee was just loose grains of rice floating in a bland broth. I suppose at the end of the night the cooks were just firing food as quickly as possible and didn’t cook the congee long enough. Seems like very few ingredients are local or particularly special. There are many more fabulous 2 star restaurants with better food concepts and food. A great sample would be Harbor House in Elk California. Well worth the money and experience with thoughtfully prepared foods and was far less expensive than this place.
