    Always such an enjoyable and amazing meal at The Commodore! Staff is usually on point. The decor is warm and inviting and relaxing. The food is fantastic, especially the fillet Oscar.

    Our first visit to this restaurant. Very impressed with the entry, people and views. We were seated at an outstanding table which seemed almost like a room with a view of our own. Great service by our three member crew. Menu was excellent, choices abundant and wine list with a few true gems. The service cadence was spot on. Definitely a destination restaurant location you will want to place on your to-do list to experience.

    It’s was our 1st time and while service was wonderful, none of us said this is a meal I want again. Meal 1 was Beef Wellington & 2nd was Prime Rib. Both were cooked to temperature perfection, the Prime was tough & the Wellington ok (not spectacular).

    We enjoyed a very tasty beef wellington and the Waldorf salad was really quite good. If you are looking for fine dining along with breathtaking sunset views, definitely try The Commodore, a worthy addition to the Bartolotta family of restaurants!

    This was our second time at this restaurant and will probably be our last one. The food was horrible and service just mediocre.

    Had dinner tonight at the Commodore & was not impressed. The food lacked that pop in flavor. Just bland. Had the shrimp cocktail, & Beef Wellington which was well done inside, not medium rare, it was dry & the little potatoes on the plate next to it taste like they were burnt. Had a lobster tail on the side ($50) which was great, but no drawn butter, instead they give you something that tastes like vegetable oil to dip it in. Ruined the taste of the lobster & for the price, how about some real drawn butter? Atmosphere was nice & wait staff good, but for the price, I think there’s better dining options out there.

    While I have this all 5s the only minor complaint I have is that the bread service could have improved with some? more? Maldon salt on the butter. The prime rib was also slightly under seasoned. But everything was really prepared perfectly and the service was expert and attentive. Highly recommended The Commodore.
