Classic New York tavern bonhomie reverberates between the art deco Brunswick bar (circa 1941) and restored English chestnut booths. Capable waiters navigate the tightly packed space, while a consistently tony crowd enjoys dishes that are hearty, but never too heavy or too large. The plump tortelloni (filled with creamy sweet potato dotted with pomegranate and hazelnuts) is the perfect prelude to an entree like bacon-crusted halibut. For those inclined to share an entree, there are several dishes that can be ordered for two, including rack of lamb, porterhouse steak, chicken and duck. Other…

everything is perfect, MINUS THE HOSTESS
by foodster00
after having had an amazing dining experience at Commerce last New Year's Eve, I came back with a few co-workers. I was unlucky in that I picked a night where a b***** hostess I've heard about from friends' experiences before. They were right - the skinny Asian hostess was shockingly rude, impolite and inattentive. Although our interaction lasted a total of 10 minutes, those 10 minutes left a horrible taste in my mouth for the rest of my dining experience. Fortunately, the food and waiter made up for it - but I'm still appalled that they would keep someone at the door with so much attitude. I wouldn't be surprised if she ruins the tone of the evening for all the diners who arrive there. If anyone from the restaurant is reading this, I hope you know that she is spreading quite a negative vibe (and the ONLY negative vibe) about Commerce - in this economy, I'm sure finding a courteous, charismatic, attractive and organized hostess to replace her would NOT be a problem. And if you, the hostess, are reading this: KICK THE ATTITUDE.
- Pros: Amazing food, amazing bread, amazing drinks
- Cons: THE HOSTESS

Fantastic Food & Service!

Our waiter was so nice and attentive! My husband and a friend had the lamb and said it was out of this world. I had the halibut which was lovely. Cheese and dessert were delish! We will certainly return.
- Pros: Lamb
- Cons: Small tables
