Commis Oakland Reviews from The Last Year
The food was delicious though several dishes were a bit
The food was delicious though several dishes were a bit salty for my taste. Each dish was presented very beautifully but the cohesion of the dishes confused me. Regardless, everything was delicious and you wouldn't know it in the beginning, but the entire seated course is very filling that I could've probably just went with the bar seated course. The service was great but not interactive. Definitely a place to try since it is the only Michelin starred restaurant in the East Bay.

Date of Visit: 3/5/2024 We visited the 2 Michelin Star
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 is the only restaurant with a Michelin Star in the East Bay area! Head chef and owner is James Syhabout, and some of the dishes and cooking methods reflect the background of Syhabout, who has a Thai mother and a Chinese father. Tasting Menu is priced at $225 per person with an optional beverage pairing of $119 per person. My husband got the beverage pairing and I ordered one cocktail and one glass of wine throughout the course. Commis Restaurant was separated into two areas. One is the bar area with a high top and chandelier. The other area with the open kitchen is the main dining room. Interior has dark wood paneling, and fresh flowers and candles on every table. My husband ordered the beverage pairing for $119, with mostly white wines from different regions around the globe, and with one GSM red wine, one California's sake and one port style dessert wine. I ordered one refreshing cocktail, Nothing Like a Nice Pear $21, to pair with the appetizers. And during the main course, I ordered a glass of the Pilcrow printer's devil cabernet sauvignon from Napa Valley for $30. Caramelized onion financier with sour cream Pacific Oyster with local kiwi & coconut Watercress wafer with salmon roe & fresh horseradish First course is a combination of three tiny plates, with oyster, salmon roe wafer, and financier. Hokkaido scallop with kaluga caviar, prawn gelee & makrut lime One of my favorite courses of the day. The mixed texture of scallop and caviar was amazing. Monterey bay abalone with hot mustard & celtuce Another favorite of mine! The abalone with the spicy mustard and flowers was full of surprises. Dungeness Crab & Chrysanthemum soup, celeriac & meyer lemon This dish is the soup of the day. Green celeriac soup with Dungeness crab inside. On the side were dried chrysanthemums, which are for decoration purposes, but the smell of the flowers is at the nose with every sip. Slow poached egg yolk, smoked dates, alliums & malt The next dish came with a bowl of slow poached egg yolk and a warm bread. Steamed Cod with Potato & Clam, toasted curry with lemongrass This one has a taste of Thai cuisine. Toasted curry and lemongrass mixed with all the air bubbles; the slow cooked steamed cod was in the middle. Roast Heirloom Chicken, Sunchokes with Koji & Green garlic, black truffle The main course is roast heirloom chicken. The mixture of the softness and chewiness of the chicken skin was great! In the middle was the black truffle sauce that went very well with the chicken. Scallion Rice, chanterelle mushroom miso from shared cultures, chicken broth The last savory course is the scallion rice. The flowers and vegetables added some color to the seasoned rice. On the side was a warm chicken broth, great paired with the rice. Matcha with soybean milk, fermented black bean caramel First dessert is the match ice cream with fermented black bean caramel and soybean milk. Coffee, Dried Plum & Black Garlic Waffles The main dessert is coffee ice cream with dried plum. In the middle is a crunchy waffle with black garlic inside. And to celebrate our Anniversary, there is a wafer cookie with honey and top and Jasmine ice cream in between. Calamansi & Fish Sauce Caramel Lotus Cookie Coconut, Pineapple & Absinthe Capsule Last dessert is some finger bites. The lotus cookie was tasty and the coconut and pineapple capsule was one of my favorites too!
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 outdone, from the small bites was a wagu beef tartare which ranks at the top of my list for umami taste and texture. The big eye tuna salad is a marvel and was followed by the slow poached egg yolk (which appears to be a menu staple), a steak and desert. The desert was the only miss for me. The drink pairing with a yuzu sake and combined with the lemon posset needed something to break up the tartness - like ginger snap, or less yuzu. But that is probably just a personal preference, the experience is still worth it. The staff were awesome too and always ready to engage and answer questions. So glad I found out about this bar service. A great option if the full menu is too much food or time and you still get that to die for bread and butter.
This place is special, and deserves every accolade it has
This place is special, and deserves every accolade it has received. Go with an open mind, and a full wallet. Explore the menu on your own, or ask your server for suggestions. You'll have a great dining experience in this chic culinary sensation on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland
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 ate all year, it was true perfection. I also especially loved the tomatoes with oysters, scallion rice, celtuce with mussels, and the pain perdu dessert. Commis was also a pretty good price compared to the other 2 michelin starred restaurants in the area.
This is a really nice, exquisite, and classic fine dining
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 sooooo amazing. We loved his enthusiasm and love for food as he was speaking to us. He made food sound so delicious even before we tried:) Ambiance - was great and chilling grown up atmosphere:)
I was happy that I was able to reserve bar seating super
I was happy that I was able to reserve bar seating super last minute. I originally wanted to do the full tasting menu, but reservations on Tock only has option for a party of 2-4 and I mostly fly solo when having these tasting menus. However, I was thoroughly satisfied with the bar prix fixe and wine pairings. EVERYTHING was creative and delicious!!! And all the team members were very nice! Parking is street parking, but there is also a Kaiser parking structure around the block.
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 May 26 th and Commis is unable to honor my gift. They use another company, TOCK, to send the egift cards. I never received one. I have contacted both restaurant and TOCK to no avail. The restaurant refused to honor my confirmation number from the purchase even with the photo. It has been SIX WEEKS and this is still not resolved. I found the owners on messenger and send them a letter, but no response. I find this absolutely unacceptable for a 2 star Michelin restaurant. Why is it now my problem because the company they deal deal with doesn’t follow through? I suggested we come in for dinner, since I had proof of purchase and they could deal with THEIR problem later. Not good enough. The manager told me that quite a few customers have had the same problem.!!!!! So fix it!!! don’t push the problem off onto the customer. Even if this gets resolved I will never, ever go to this restaurant. My $200 deposit has been refunded (required at the time of the reservation) and my friend is pursuing her $500 gift certificate through her credit card company. I hope they lose their Michelin stars.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week. I keep lowering the price, but am worried they won’t sell. How long did it take you to sell your first reservations? And did you have success being reimbursed by AT for no-show or cancellation fees? Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!

This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately it’s become like any other “side hustle”. Don’t waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
