    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

    We had a wonderful experience dining at Iozzo's Garden of Italy. The cheesy garlic bread appetizer was delicious. All of our meals were very good. We had the chicken marsala, pork Milanese and short rib ragu. We all enjoyed our meals. The market greens salad included with the meals was also very good and we all liked the lemon vinaigrette that was recommended with it. Our server, Dale took exceptionally good care of us to make our dining experience even more special.

    We had dinner on Christmas Eve and it was wonderful. We sat at a high top and the chairs were just as comfortable as standard seating. We ordered the lobster escargot style as an appetizer and it was fabulous. For dinner we split the Reggie Wayne steak with a side of asparagus. Everything was perfectly prepared. They also honored my request to not add additional salt to the steak, which I appreciated. I highly recommend this restaurant.
