Dining at The Commodore could not have been better. Small menu, but no problem finding interesting items in all menu categories. Great service and quiet enough to carry on a conversation. Look forward to going back.

From our initial arrival with a guided tour of the restaurant to enjoying our delicious entrees, we both were satisfied with the service and quality of our food. Excellent wine menu too.

We have been waiting for the right time to try out The Commodore. Had been slightly disappointed with 445pm reservations for the night but enjoyed every minute there. Wonderful decor, drinks, food and SERVICE! Had been concerned they would rush us along for another seating at that table but at no time did we feel pressured to hurry. It is not just eat and leave. There was a relaxed rhythm to serving the courses and giving us time to fully enjoy it before another course arrived for the table. We were able to enjoy our time to... read more

What a beautiful place--we were thrilled to experience a lovely meal here. We were very impressed with the food quality and presentation but a little less impressed with the cocktails. Competitors with high-end cocktail bars have much more interesting and well executed offerings. We will definitely be back, but may grab drinks elsewhere first. We are so happy to find such a beautifully restored place to take friends and family for special meals.

Love the setting but hated the noise level. I will not be returning at the dinner hour; it was impossible to hear a third of my dining companion's conversation but I heard the tables next to us all too well.

Busy for a Thursday night, but server was gracious under pressure. Wrong dinner entree arrived for one of our party of 4; hostess and server both apologized and offered to charge only for the correct entree ordered. We had two (2) pork chop orders, one (1) roasted cauliflower order and one (1) poached salmon on black rice. Clean plates all around. Following the December City Pages article about 11 cocktails that make drinking fun, I ordered the Tequila Cocktail (a margarita with blood orange): it was terrific. My wife commen... read more

This was a very pleasant way to celebrate my wife's birthday. The service and quality of the food were outstanding. My pork chop was as good as I have ever tasted. The only problem was the noise level in the room in which we were seated. The other rooms seem to be more quiet, perhaps because of different acoustics.
