Commis Oakland Reviews
This is by no means your everyday dinner place.
We're talking two Michelin stars (which makes it among the best in the world), and this is the only East Bay restaurant with that high a rating (and a total of 11 2- and 3-star restaurants in San Francisco and the East Bay). I took myself here

The main restaurant experience is great as well - especially the romantic "two person" table (which I sat at with a friend). As with the bar menu, the staff is very attentive (which makes me feel equal parts self-conscious and valued), the

Wow! This place is amazing, and that's not even including the price!! For being a 2x MS this is not only an amazing value in the Bay Area but a perfect experience too! From the welcome to the check, not one thing to complain about. Great food an

This is my favorite restaurant out of all the Michelin restaurants I've been to in the bay. Being south-east asian myself, there were many flavors that transported me to a nostalgic time from my childhood. Service was good, and I really enjoyed
Got the bar menu which has 4 courses with the wine pairing.
Got the addition which is osetra caviar with taro coconut custard in a shell for $35. Thought the stand out dish was the bread and farm egg dish with smoked egg yolk and mesquite medjool puree with garlic scape butter. 1) royal miyagi oyster with c
We went for their bar menu.
Price is remarkably $109 per person for a 2 star Michelin star restaurant. Loved everything, remarkable favors except the popcorn. Seems like a filler and I don't think it should be a dinner course.
Vibe: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Drinks: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Value: 4.
5/5 Still an absolutely superior experience. From the service to the food and cocktails, everything was sheer perfection. I love seeing how they continue to experiment with bold flavors and stunning presentation. Every dish is delicious, and the i

I've been here more than a half dozen times now and I'm not sure when I'll return again. I remember my first visit (a few months after it opened) and we had one of the most memorable meals that we still talk about today; great service
Another memorable dinner at Commis
We wanted to celebrate our 40th anniversary at a nice restaurant in the East Bay. But, we just cant eat huge meals anymore. Commis bar has the perfect solution, a four course sampling of the renown Michelin star restaurant. We were served the famous
Really great.
I've made it a goal to spin through all of bay areas tasting menus and this is one of the top so far, especially for the price. Also really appreciate that 20% gratuity is included within the menu price, props to them! I would describe this dinner a

I was so disappointed that Commis is not that special anymore. I came here like seven years ago and was blown away by the food and service. I decided to bring my family to try it too. First of all, I agree with the other review, the person greeted u
I'll keep this brief.
Stunning restaurant. Lovely hospitality. I wanted to cry tears of elation at two courses. I could be a bumpkin who doesn't know any better, but I don't think it's likely since I was raised to indulge in all culinary experiences since I was a kid. M
My husband and I are big fans of Commis.
We've enjoyed other multi-course tasting menus in SF and the East Bay, but Commis always comes out on top. The service is top-notch without being pretentious, the wine pairings are always spot on, and the dishes themselves are amazing. We also apprec

I don't think Commis needs me to write a review for them.
I'm pretty sure they will get plenty of people coming by regardless. But I do feel that they deserve every positive comment that is on this site. We came in to celebrate an event and everyone tried to make it as special as possible. Staff were extre
A spot that's worth trying once.
Beautifully plated and solid, but not super memorable. I was also pregnant when I came here so many things I had to give to my husband or substitute.

Celebrated our anniversary here at the only 2 Michelin restaurant with 2 stars across the bay bridge. It's a $225/person tasting menu with Thai and European influences. We got the drink pairing for an additional $119 and it was totally worth it to co

Date of Visit: 3/5/2024 We visited the 2 Michelin Star restaurant Commis to celebrate our Anniversary. Commis was established in 2009 and was awarded with 1 Michelin star during the same year, and won the recognition of 2 Michelin stars in 2016. It
Came back to try the more limited bar prix fixe menu.
This is a shorter more casual experience than in the main dining room, but delivers on the fine dining aspects and still comes with a beverage pairing. We added on the caviar option to the four course menu, which was a perfect bite. Not to be outdo

food is amazing and well plated even for takeout.
Everything is fresh and it's worth all the stars and one of the few super fine dining places in Oakland.
I dined here back in August and got the tasting menu.
It was a very creative meal and I loved that I got 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 at

This is a really nice, exquisite, and classic fine dining restaurant and in all places in Oakland. The food is delicious and the menu fresh and inviting. The service is impeccable as well.
Food - We had the tasting menu at the bar area.
Tomato dish (in the pic ) was the best of all:) I would have preferred Kumamoto oyster without the watermelon topping though. Mocktail looked beautiful:) Service- I wish I asked his name, but one of the bartenders/servers there with ponytail was soo

Terrible customer relations.
Well, I have yet to eat here but am posting this review about their unacceptable customer service. My friend purchased me a gift via the Commis website for $500. I had a confirmation number and a photo of the purchase.This was April 6th. It is now Ma
I already gave a completely accurate 5 star review.
I'll add to it that Commis has a knack for keeping the great things consistent and mixing it up in all the right places. They tweak the menu, some of the concepts (the new fixe prix bar menu is a revelation), the wine list. If you go to Commis and th
The food is wonderful but too rich for me .
You're outside tables are nice, but can be very cold in the winter.
i've added photos of a few of the dishes we've had.

One of the greatest meals I've had in recent history.
The food was beyond expectations and closer to what I had experienced at three star restaurants rather than two. Each dish was wonderful and a piece of art. Some were playful even.They had quite an interesting pairing, everything from beer, to wine t
We selected this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary.
We wanted to support Asian chefs and loved the idea of asian flavors being incorporated into high end food. I had such high expectations given that this is a two Michelin starred fine dining establishment. And I'm having so many mixed feelings about
Lovely restaurant with attentive staff.
I went with my 2 under 25 yr old sons. We experienced food we have never tried before. My youngest son tried everything offered on the 12 course meal. Would definitely recommend if your looking for a once in a lifetime special meal.

My boyfriend took me to Commis for my birthday dinner and I was beyond impressed by with service, food and wine! Every course was better then the last and each wine pairing went great with the food. The restaurants ambiance was nice mood lighting and
Overall not bad for a 2 Michelin star restaurant.
My favorite things were the caviar dish and the mini apps.
The food! Amazing food and wine pairing.
Truly a fabulous place for a date night. Quiet atmosphere with limited seating- LOVE. You can actually hear the person you are speaking with. :) Everyone we interacted with was wonderful and knowledgeable. Also, did I mention the food!!

We've been to other Michelin star restaurants and we're pretty disappointed dining in at Commis. There were 7 of us and I understand that their maximum guests per table is 4 so we made two reservations. I tried calling in advance to give them a heads
To say this was a disappointment would be an understatement.
We had been looking forward to this meal since pre-Covid. The place has a cool vibe - modern. The tables felt private. We were excited. We ordered the wine pairing. The first plate was an oyster with a fruity topping. It was fair but the beer paired

Connect with users posting reservations for Commis Oakland
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Commis Oakland. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Commis Oakland at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Commis Oakland page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FulfilledThread16, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FulfilledThread16 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FulfilledThread16 for any questions Peter may have as FulfilledThread16 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FulfilledThread16 now uses their connections at Commis Oakland to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FulfilledThread16 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FulfilledThread16 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FulfilledThread16's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Commis Oakland!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
