    Our first time there, the view overlooking the city was amazing! Right after Christmas and all the lights were still out…they say it takes about an hour to go fully around but we gathered about 4 hours total.

    The food was out of this world and very fairly priced considering the quality you're being served. The decor is gorgeous and being next to Gainbridge is always amazing. The drinks were perfectly made. What was most impressive is the level of knowledge carried by our incredibly courteous server, Shay. She knew so much not only about the menu but also the food, itself. Cunningham Group did it again with this diamond in the rough of the downtown chain restaurants. We shared the Hamachi Crudo and the Prime Rib and the other has the dry aged new your strip and the Chillean sea bass. We also started with the beef carpaccio and got the French onion Mac and cheese and broccolini. We finished with a couple of espresso martinis and then the chocolate cake and the chocolate tart and those were equally out of this world. In an area with so many restaurants that don't surpass the average mark, Commission Row surpassed out expectations, ten fold! Thank you Shay and the rest of the team at CR
