I loved this place! The spicy shrimp appetizer is so delicious! The crispy chicken entree is also very good, and their sweet potato fries are amazing! Our server was also very kind and attentive!

Such good service! Friendly staff, always so helpful and looking for ways to make your day special- Celine always brings me a “to-go” cup for coffee. It’s the little extra steps they take that make it

One of my girlfriends and I came to a pizza making and craft cocktail class on Saturday. We had such a great time. Let's start with the Commentary is located in the Westin in the Ballston Commons area. There are many Glebe Roads in VA, so follow your GPS directions and not your passenger, lol. Also the Westin is right on the corner. I had no idea it was inside a hotel, so almost missed the entrance.Once inside, we were seated at a table as we waited for the class to start. When the class was ready, we each had a station with a dough ball and a floured pizza peel. The instructor was a little Italian lady who showed us how to shape and form the dough, add the sauce and the ideal way to add toppings. After she finished, it was our turn. She walked around to make sure everyone's dough was properly stretched and shaped for ultimate baking. We then added the marinara sauce and as much or little toppings as we wanted. We had fresh mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage, chicken, ham, shrimp, spinach, mushrooms and freshly shaved parmesan cheese to choose from. When we were done with the toppings, the pizzas were put in the oven, and we were off to make a cocktail.We were able to choose if we wanted to make a drink of gin, tequila or bourbon. The drink cards were large and written so they could be easily followed. Our bartender instructor was funny and taught us the basics of making and mixing cocktails. By the time we were done making our drinks, our pizzas were at the table waiting.If you're looking for a fun date night or girls' night out, you need to try this class at the Commentary. They sell out fast, so as soon as you see it on Eventbrite, get your ticket and enjoy!
