Overall, the food is very good and well-deserved Michelin star rating. But I was not a fan of all 10 courses. I recommend oyster parfait, Shima aji, chilled mussels, black cod (best) duck, and wagu beef. Was not a fan of the eel, poached egg and rice dishes, nor the sour drink. The deserts were superb. I feel it's a bit pricey, too.
Puzzling that this place is so highly touted. Have eaten here twice now, was very disappointed both times. The dishes just didn't work. Strange combinations that were discordant. We have eaten at many Michelin starred restaurants, can't understand how Commis gets even one star. I would describe the service as too self-conscious -- trying to be a certain way that they think they should be, but instead of looking natural, it looks like an act. They were certainly pleasant...
elegant dining experience good for special occasions. wine pairing spot on. all dishes delicious, 10 course set menu, and wonderfully presented waitstaff all wearing suits with ties and very attentive
