read moreCommis, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Oakland, offers a unique dining experience that has received mixed reviews. Some diners found the tasting menu to be underwhelming for the price, with limited menu choices and a lack of accommodation for food allergies. On the other hand, others praised the small, delicately prepared plates that were both creative and delicious. The service at Commis was consistently praised as excellent, with attentive staff and knowledgeable sommeliers. While some diners were disappointed with certain dishes, all agreed that the experience was memorable and worth visiting for a special occasion. The atmosphere was welcoming and not as pretentious as expected, making for an enjoyable dining experience overall. Prices at Commis are on the higher side, with an average cost per person of $100 or more, making it a special treat for foodies looking to indulge in a unique culinary experience.
