The very best value for a tasting menu style restaurant. Absolutely delicious courses, great adventurous wine list (with a great sommelier), terrific cocktails, excellent service, in a comfortable, non-stuffy, non-pretentious setting. It gets a little loud as time goes by (especially at a table for our party of 6), but not impossibly so.

Acre never disappoints. This was no exception. There was a delay in the kitchen and food was taking longer than usual to come out. We barely noticed because we were with old friends catching up. But the manager came out and apologized and brought us a free appetizer and comped another round of drinks, so we were all good!

This was our second time at Commis we sat the bar and had the pre fix with wine pairing! It was amazingly delicious and the service as always was excellent. We enjoyed trying the new items on the menu and some old favorites. If you are looking for a unique dinning experience look no further.
