    From the moment we walked in, to the time we left, everything was perfection. The ambiance is incredible. The beautiful lighting, big windows looking out onto the city, the comfortable leather booth seating, and striking decor- everything around us felt special. The drinks were spot on, with a unique espresso martini. And the food, WOW! Everyone’s meal was phenomenal. My pork chop was perfectly prepared, my husband had the lamb and gave it a 10/10. Our friends had the dry aged Ribeye and Chicken dish and they were both impressed. Our server Ben never missed a beat and helped guide us through the menu. I highly recommend dining at Commission Row as soon and as often as you can! Oh, and don’t forget to stop downstairs at Mel’s Speakeasy for a drink! Such a cool and swanky vibe down there with an eclectic list of drinks to choose from!

    We splurge once a year to come here and it never disappoints. It’s not super fancy so we don’t feel out of place, but it’s a very nice place for a special date night. The food and drinks are always delicious. This visit I got the filet which was *chefs kiss* as always, but the brussel sprouts were where the meal really shined. The toasted ravioli appetizer was perfect. My husband loves the shrimp cocktail, with the signature famous cocktail sauce they share with their sister restaurant St. Elmo’s. If you’ve somehow never tried this gem, do yourself a favor and go. Worth every penny.

    Everything was awesome, though I just didn’t really like creamed spinach to begin with and just wasn’t a fan. Steak was pretty decent for a filet, not dried out and had a nice flavor. Mashed potatoes were good just seemed to be microwaved. Dessert was awesome and they even gave us a discount and a free shrimp cocktail because they served someone else our dinner by mistake. Not a big deal at all and we had a great time, didn’t mind the wait on our food. I would go back and try some more seafood items, the shrimp and their cocktail sauce was perfect! I would go back just because it was a nice place and we were treated very well. Thank you!
