The Commentary is the place to be! An eclectic ambiance, fabulous service and hospitality, and very good food! Loved the selection of seating with lounge areas, high top tables, and movable settings to easily accommodate various groups. The wait staff was amazing!! We will definitely make this our place to go time and time again in the future. BRAVO!!
Overall very good but a bit of a wait for our food even though there were few others in the restaurant. But our server kept us well informed on the timing and we were not in a rush.
We were greeted by the guy behind the bar. The place was almost empty. It turned out that he would also be our waiter. I told him that we had a reservation and he informed me that only the manger could see reservations and they weren't there at the moment. The bartender/waiter then seated us at an internal table and brought menus. He mentioned that he prefers to give his guests a relaxed service. I asked if an item was gluten free (telling him that I'm allergic). He took drink orders. When he came back, he'd forgotten about my allergy. So he needed to go ask. He came back and said that the grain bowl was gluten free. One of my friends ordered a margarita, which he forgot. We reminded him and he brought it. Another friend asked for more water. He forgot that too. Once reminded, we received water. The food tasted okay. Everyone ate about half of the food. One friend didn't take her half of avocado toast, since she said it wasn't worth it. I experienced a gluten attack after eating the food. I don't think the grain bowl is gluten free.
Slow service but food was good. Space was quiet. One meal came out 10 minutes later than the rest.
From start to finish, while enjoying friendships and co-workers were awesome service and professional people and Venessa was the best host ever she was amazing host. Love her personality just awesome
Bought tickets for my boyfriend and I to go to the viral tik tok pizza making class…. Unfortunately him and I caught Covid and could not attend. Reached out THREE TIMES to the event brite organizer and never even received a response… called them once Friday for them to tell me they would speak to the manager about refunding me for my tickets. Called back Saturday to be told I would be getting an email with refund confirmation AFTER the person I spoke with was aware of the date the tickets were for. Just to receive an email today that they can refund me my $110 because of their “policy”….. oh so I guess we were supposed to come into a space with other people with a communicable virus that is CONTAGIOUS?! This place is joke. 1. I get policies are in place but to have no consideration for us when we were literally sick and could do nothing about it is insane. 2. Why lie and say I was being refunded when in all actually I wasn’t going to be refunded?!
Please don’t even waste your time because they have no consideration for illness or anything else for that matter.
What can I say? Excellent. Everything was great. The lady who served us was so friendly. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. The resteraunt welcomes you with bright lights, beautiful decor, and relaxing music. I had the mimosas flight. It was delicious. Best part is everything is reasonable pricing.
