    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

    From the time we walked in until we left we had the treatment of special guest. We went to celebrate a special occasion just for us. The service was amazing and the food was perfection all the way around. The app lobster voodoo is perfect, we had ribeye and classic filet and I have to say it is tied with Hells Kitchen in Vegas as the best steak I have ever had. The Lobster mac n Cheese is a perfect side. Our dessert was the chocolate sin cake and the name says it all. Over all our experience was a 10 out of 10 and we will definitely be back.

    Great birthday at The Eagle. Must be a new chef as they have backed off of everything being so spicy and hot. Food tasted great today!
