    Very memorable food , service, ambience! Everything is so unusual & most delicious of anything you can imagine. One drawback to our experience: 2 times (one seating after another) they put parents with 2 small children & stroller next to tables of us celebrating birthdays. The children were cranky & disruptive. It put a damper on our enjoyment. I don’t think this is a restaurant for children & I don’t think the parents enjoyed their time. Hopefully next time this will not be happening.

    Had an extraordinary dining experience with their 10-course meal with their fabulous wine pairing. I really appreciated the wines chosen so thoughtfully that enhanced and complimented the flavors of each dish and was happy to discover some wonderful international wines. Truly a once in a lifetime luxurious experience. Thank you Commis for making my 60th birthday celebration so memorable and special.

    Marvelous dining experience. Wine paring for the two of us was perfect and every dish was prepared to perfection. The knowledgable, gracious and attentive staff is to be commended. We were greeted warmly upon arrival which set the tone for the superior level of service received.

    The food, wine, and customer service was excellent. The environment was very relaxing and homey. Shadowbrook is the perfect place for a date night and/or a night out with friends.
