    My husband and I celebrated a friend's birthday last Saturday. Prior to coming for dinner, we heard so many mixed reviews from friends and relative so, we decided to get our own opinion. Our reservations were at 6:15 and arrived about 30 minutes early to enjoy a cocktail before dinner. We were able to get a seat at the bar and enjoyed a couple of finely made drinks. The bartenders were most attentive and gave a very good pour. We waited about 15 minutes after our reservation time before we were seated. The waitstaff team was on it immediately after we were seated. We ordered drinks and then Oysters Rockefeller for an appetizer. There were 6 per order, small but very delicious. The ala carte Caesar salad had homemade dressing and was very good. Warm rolls were individually served and they also came around with extras. Two of us had the Filet Oscar that was perfectly prepared. The steak melted in your mouth and the crab was plentiful and tasty. Fresh asparagus and whipped potatoes were just as delicious. Birthday boy's entree was the Rosewood Wagyu and lobster. The sauce used was very complimentary to the steak and no complaints from him. We ended our dinners with Jeanette's cheesecake with tart cherry sauce, signature chocolate cake and a Brandy Alexander. It was a little loud but you could still hear our table conversation. The atmosphere and decor was exquisite. The three of us left with very great opinions and delightfully full stomachs. I'm sure most diners will agree that they don't mind paying for good food and service. The Commodore is is now on my top 3 special occasion restaurant. Great job!!!

    From a bartender manhandling my drink garnish, to an underwhelming and unimpressive menu, to very untrained servers and service staff, and finally, to food being sent back due to poor taste, we had a very underwhelming experience here for the price point of this dinner. Would not recommend.

    We experienced top-notch service from the time we entered the door through our table service and leaving for the evening. Food was excellent and came quickly. The noise level was appropriate and appreciatively quiet. Lovely experience.

    Wonderful and caring team of servers was the highlight. Chris, Rebecca and Landon were genuine, very attentive and all very helpful. Special shout out to Landon who was younger than 21 but extremely mature and a good listener! The cheese selection plate was special and Chris really helped with our selection of cheeses.

    The restaurant had a very nice ambience. The bartenders were great and made very good cocktails. We got to our seat and the waiter was great as well. We had ordered a clam fries which were good, lobster and clam bisque which was a little too sweet and then scallops and a wagyu ribeye for dinner. The scallops were good but too salty. The steak was cooked to a good temperature however came to the table lukewarm at best and was pretty tough. Overall drinks and service were great- food just OK.

    The food was great, a bit pricey in my opinion, but very tasty. The service was outstanding. Our server Jeannie was the best. All the other staff that cleared dishes or brought water were also very well trained. Everyone had a smile on their face. The best compliment I can give is we had fun.
