Commonwealth - San Francisco

We had a splendid evening at Commonwealth. The food was sublime and beautiful to look at. The staff were attentive, welcoming and not overly present. The uniqueness of the dishes and the blend of flavors is executed with near perfection. Finally, the price is quite reasonable, relative to peer restaurants. I thoroughly recommend Commonwealth!

If you're looking for an experience with food you should try this place. We got the Chef's extended tasting menu which had 12 courses (I think, definitely more than 7). They ranged from hot to warm to cold dishes on the temperature scale. The last three courses were desserts. Every course was unique and pleasantly presented. Depending on your preference you'll like some more than the others. The staff was very courteous. Beware the extended tasting menu is a lot of food! so if you have the appetite go for it, you'll be pleased. The place had a full bar but we didn't get any drinks as we had to drive back.

We celebrated my birthday there and it was my second time since a long time. The quality is outstanding. I love the fish dishes, it melts in your mouth and it’s ultra gastronomic! It’s very reasonable compared to other Michelin Star restaurants too for foodies !!! It’s a business casual atmosphere, down to earth feel! Love it!

In an unassuming spot, with its own parking lot, which in the mission...feels fancy already. Was an amazing meal of well executed dishes that felt homey without feeling ostentatious. Misread a couple of things on the menu like "beet tartare" v beef tartare and "squid noodles" v squid ink noodles but was then pleasantly surprised by what I was presented. Highlights: geoduck and smoked trout, which we were lucky to be able to order off the tasting menu. Looking forward to coming back someday to try the extended tasting menu w non-alcoholic beverage pairing :)

My girlfriend and I shared 5 dishes from the a la carte menu and desserts afterwards. It was a great dining experience and definitely worth the price. The menu itself was interesting -- arranged not in the usual appetizer-main-dessert order, but by temperature. While all courses were innovative and we'll presented, my favorites were the black trumpet mushrooms with soft cooked egg and the duck confit. It was impressive how much effort they had put into these otherwise normal-looking dish names. The service was also professional and efficient.

Contemporary food with a relaxed atmosphere. Creative dishes yet very flavorful. I would recommend the tasting menu to try some new flavors that would surprise you in a good way. This is a complete dining experience and is not designed to be a fast meal. The wait staff was great, though I did wish they were more descriptive about the dishes.

Absolutely outstanding dishes. Could not be bigger fan. I've been here twice so far, did the tasting menu each time. The wine pairings are exceptional and worth the price if you're going for the experience. I sat at the bar both times which was very fun. You could watch the cooks making the intricate dishes, and interacting with the incredible staff was great. Tonight, we had Stephanie who was awesome, along with the herbalist and the very nice sommelier.

We had the extended chef's tasting menu (did not order drink pairings). Each item was unique to the next, very unique combinations of textures and ingredients. We really enjoyed the sashimi fish items, the salad and the duck dish. Almost all items on the tasting menu were great, reason why only 4 stars is the flavors were not that bold, not so enticing that we are craving to have the food again. We also ordered the Jasmine tea which came in a small teapot but the waitresses were generous enough to continue refilling our pot all throughout the meal.
