    Incredible from the moment I stepped in the door. I was warmly greeted immediately by the host, who took our jackets and then seated us in the beautiful dining area. The tables are nestled closely together, but I never felt crowded or intrusive. Our server Madie, was the definition of hospitality. She knew the fine details, and paired my entree and wine seamlessly! My son asked me if we were VIP because of their team work and how many people were involved with our meal! Our glasses were never in empty. Our wine was delivered by Susan, who even replaced my son’s dirty napkin and took the time to explain the tasting notes of my wine, while also entertaining the children! She was so sweet!! We ended dinner with the most amazing caramelized banana split, while the manager, Peyton stopped by to thank us for dining and invited us to explore the Gallery space. He was professional, genuine and friendly. This spot is a MUST for family dining, date night, fancy dinner, and all your instagram photos 😉. Thank you RH for making my family night special.

    Each year our son picks the restaurant for his birthday dinner and this year it was Commission Row. Typically, Tony’s is his favorite however Commission Row’s atmosphere, food and service exceeded expectations. Joachim, our server, started the night with impeccable service, personable, informative and attentive. With seven in our party, a majority of the menu items were selected and enjoyed. All the selections were plentiful and flavorful. Highlights included the wedge salad (one of the best we’ve eaten), filets cooked perfectly, crab cakes loaded with crab, creamy lobster bisque, tender scallops and crispy salmon with a tender inside. Side dishes were served family style with enough left to take home. Dessert highlights included 10-layer chocolate cake, crème brûlée, and gelato trio. We will definitely return and request Joachim for each of our visits. Thank you, Joachim for making our dining experience special.

    Fabulous downtown Christmas experience at Harry and Izzy’s! The French onion soup was out of this world. ( We brought our own scissors…) The prime rib sandwich was very tasty, but I could have done without the onions on the buns. Now. The service. H& I always has incredible service but on this evening, Sean (our server) went above and beyond!! Always attentive to our needs and my Coke glass was never allowed to be empty. Can’t wait to visit again in the near future.
