Commis in Oakland is a Two-Star Michelin rated fine dining restaurant by James Beard Foundation Nominated Chef James Syhabout that serves a multi-course Tasting Menu.

Diners at Commis are invited to linger for 2.5 to 3 hours over an multi-course meal in a warm, comfortable and relaxing dining room appointed by glowing glass light pendants, dark furniture, bare walnut tables, dim lit candles and floral arrangements.

Delivered by the attentive service staff and sommeliers, the cuisine of Commis showcases some of the best Northern California ingredients that are in season through modern and classic cooking techniques. The cuisine aims to bridge the flavors, textures and temperatures of the East and West with every course with the intention to excite and satisfy.

From the OpenTable editors: Ever-changing menus take center stage at chef James Syhabout’s intimate Commis, the East Bay’s only two-starred MICHELIN restaurant. Expect dishes that spotlight local ingredients with Southeast Asian influences, like the fan-favorite slow-poached egg yolk with smoked dates and onion cream, all in a modern 12-seat space that feels like you’re eating in someone’s cool living room.

My wife and I are regulars at Commis, and every visit is a treat. The food is always outstanding, and the service is top-notch. A special highlight for us is the incredible wine selection, expertly curated by Andrew, the wine director. His pairings elevate every meal, making each visit even more memorable. Commis never disappoints, truly one of the best dining experiences in Oakland!

We took my mom for her 70th birthday, and it was the perfect way to celebrate and spoil her. The service was excellent, perfectly presented, and placed. Each dish had its own story and was perfectly paired with a wine to bring out the flavors and give you a moment to pause in between bites.

The food was excellent, and the wine pairing matched it, in a way I have not experienced before. Service was of course excellent, as was the ambiance. Perhaps the best meal I've had and my wife, much better versed in this than I, fully agrees.
