Love the open kitchen behind the glass wall, and there's even a private area you can rent for small parties. Perfect mix of good food, great vibes, and top-notch service. Creative cocktails. I enjoyed a Midtown sour, made with whiskey, yuzu, lemon juice, egg whites, and Chianti - I wouldn't have thought of this combo, but it works and presents well. The owner also greeted us and discussed the history of the restaurant, including the origin of its name. Check it out for a nice night out.

The food was pretty good, but way expensive than what it should have been. Cheesecake was not it... Would not recommend. And personally the waitress had a bit of an attitude, I don't know if it was because she was tired or whatever. But girl, if you're working in the restaurant service industry... You gotta look as if your day is freaking fantastic. Other than that, it was a pretty good restaurant.

First time here for a business dinner for 7 people. It's a great spot to entertain clients, has a…read morechic vibe with low lighting and lively atmosphere. Place was packed and it was a Tuesday evening. We were very warmly greeted and seated at a banquette... would have been slightly awkward if we didn't all know each other very well as we were very close to each other. I took the inside, knowing I was not going anywhere for the next 2 hours lol. Service after that was a little slow, we waited a long time to order and again to get the cheque. The menu is not huge, main plates ranging from $34 to $99. I had the hamburger because it came with a salad... a Brutus salad which is akin to a Ceasar (I was intrigued by and love the name). Burger itself was delicious and perfectly cooked. Others chose the pasta and it looked amazing and rich. Will return.

I rarely give 1-star reviews, this is going to be only the 9th out of 358 as of this writing…read more However, after six mornings of breakfast at Commodore during a week-long stay at the Honeyrose, I've got to call it like it is: the service here is impressively terrible. It started off mildly annoying. On day one, I just wanted a croissant. Turns out that's not included in the "free" bonvoy/marriott breakfast, and they won't be flexible. Fine. The rest of the week I ordered the full continental: tomatoes, cheese, fruit, yogurt, ham, and (oh yes) a croissant - I'll eat the croissant and you can dispose of the rest I guess - maliciously compliant I suppose, but unnecessary and wasteful. That was annoying, but the rest? Just an awful experience. On day two, we never got water or juice so we had to ask a manager about our drinks, we had to get up to hunt someone down for butter after they dropped off our food and scurried away, then again to get the bill, and finally yet once more to get the bill fixed because they forgot to comp the breakfast. Days three and four somehow got worse. It was frequently 10+ minutes before anyone appeared. When someone did show up, they acted annoyed that we needed anything at all. One day we timed it: 14 minutes before a single staff member came back to the floor after seating us. On the one day we did have plenty of time to sit; we thought we would order morning drinks but the espresso martini we got turned out to be so bad we literally could not drink it, and it obviously had no alcohol in it. Despite our having time to spare, the staff managed to take so long to serve us that we ended up just trying to get out and not even arguing about the drink we couldn't stomach, we just wanted someone...anyone, to come around so we could get our check and leave. This is not a large restaurant and there were always at least two servers and a manager on the floor, yet the place somehow felt completely abandoned. Every staff member, including management, seemed aggressively disinterested in the fact that this is a functioning restaurant where people expect basic service. The space itself looks nice, but that's about the only compliment I can give. You'd be better off paying for breakfast elsewhere, even if this place is "free." I want to add an updated note: the last two days everything was remarkably better, so much so that the entire experience was different and it honestly didn't feel like the same restaurant. If our experience had been this way the entire time, it would have easily been four, likely even five stars. Hopefully they were just unusually short staffed or something and our last two days is more representative of the normal experience you can expect here. They do have gluten free toast available, which is also a positive.

I had the eggs poached in red wine and the flavor was fantastic. The poached eggs had the perfect silky texture and consistency. Our servers were welcoming and fluent in French and English.

This was a memorable meal and I hope to return here.

The food was excellent, well prepared, and beautifully plated. For a steakhouse they had some nice lighter options, seafood and veggies included. They have an extensive drink menu and some unusual specialty cocktails. While we were there late on a Thursday night, and the restaurant didn't seem crowded, the service was somewhat slow. We had multiple waiters coming in and out and sometimes it was hard to find someone to order a drink. Ultimately, this is a nice, more upscale restaurant perfect for a business meal or special occasion. Food: 5/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Value: 4/5

I ordered 2 course meal with Caesar salad and Orzo. Both were excellent! Caesar salad was fresh and delicious, the orzo with asparagus puree, walnuts, and apricot was very creamy, well balanced and flavorful. I loved this dish. My husband's flank steak was perfectly cooked to medium rare and very tender. Service was good but I watched our beer sitting on the bar for a while... needed to remind our server we ordered a beer (and it has been sitting there staring at us the whole time).... I think it may have been our writers first day? Not a biggie but I was done with my appetizer by the time beer came. But other than that this place was really good in terms of ambiance, service and food. I'd come back here again.

Sitting at the counter gives you an intimate view into everything happening in the kitchen. The energy was fast-paced and precise--it honestly felt like I was inside an episode of The Bear. The chef curated an incredible five-course tasting, and the sommelier paired each course with wines that complemented everything perfectly. I won't even try to list every dish because I honestly don't remember them all. The menu isn't fixed, and I imagine each experience is a little different. I was too busy enjoying every bite and soaking in the experience to focus on memorizing details. Ken took exceptional care of me from start to finish, making sure I was comfortable and that every course met the moment. The chef also came over to chat, which made the experience feel even more personal. The bar was already high, and Marcus exceeded it.

The meal started with caviar on a latke that was crispy on the outside and creamy inside. Next was a bluefin tuna tartare with wasabi cream and radishes, this dish was beautiful and had the perfect balance of textures. Our third dish was a caramelized scallop with a dairy free hollandaise sauce, the sauce was tart and absolutely delicious. The next dish was the stand out for me, steamed cod with the most amazing vegetables--this was absolute perfection! The last dish was a cherry sorbet inside a vanilla meringue cup which was so pretty! Really appreciated this addition, as finding dairy free and gluten free desserts can be challenging. Absolutely recommend this experience. Thank you for a wonderful meal! Also a note, we had breakfast at this restaurant as well and everything was great. The chia pudding is amazing! There are dairy free and gluten free options for breakfast!

I found the menu to be a bit small, but I enjoyed the food that I had and it wasn't a bad price. I think the vibe they have as a restaurant is really unique as it seems like the building used to be a factory. Lots of barrels around and wooden poles, chairs, and tables giving the place an overall mildly rustic feel. Bonus points for plaid, reusable napkins that added to the charm.

What started as total happiness at the menu offerings, resulted in an overall poor experience. Our waitress was annoyed two of us didn't order from the fixed fee menu and how she had to "delete all your orders and start over since some of you did and some of you didn't order from the fixed menu." Should've been a sign, because only one meal came out correct. Who knew you had to order in a specific order. Our food took 40 minutes to arrive, in fact one colleague ate her burger and left all her fries in order to make a meeting. My other coworkers meal came out missing a bun and with a salad when he'd ordered fries. Honestly, we should've just accepted it, because it took another 10 just to get a bun. My fourth colleague never got his desert, but at that point we just didn't even ask. Mine came out fine, but honestly not enjoyable to eat at that point. The food all tasted good, but there's plenty of other restaurants with good food that can serve in the hour window in the area. I likely would not come back here by choice.

I chose the seafood entrée, which turned out to be a mistake. After speaking with several others who ordered the same dish, it seemed that we all had a similar experience.

Our waitresses recommendations were fire. We enjoyed: Complementary bread: it was soft on inside and appropriately crunchy but not overly so on the outside. Plus two huge pieces cut into 4 pieces individually. Beef tartare: at 20 cad it was a little pricy for how much you got but the taste was great and I'm a fan of comte cheese. Plus it didn't have capers which imo overwhelms tartares. Duck with carrot: as a Chinese person I've had my share of duck but this might be the best duck I've ever had in my life. The texture and cook on it was awesome! First it came with three pieces of breast. It was the perfect cook, not over like most of the places I've had duck. Then the leg had the perfect crispy fatty skin to meat ratio. Yum yum this is a can't miss dish here Burger: husband got this. I took a bite. It had a nice smoke to it and was perfectly medium rare. I was too distracted by my duck to analyze it further. Raspberry jelly for dessert: as the waitress had mentioned, it was light and a perfect sweet but tart bite. Was great!
