Food and service excellent. Had Ginger Salmon and Asian slaw. Actually a double order of slaw instead of the slaw and mashed potatoes as sides. Only complaint was the cool breeze blowing on me. Was seated at bar booths.

Another great dinner at H&I’s. Celebrated Christmas dinner with the family. Food was fantastic as always.

Each year our son picks the restaurant for his birthday dinner and this year it was Commission Row. Typically, Tony’s is his favorite however Commission Row’s atmosphere, food and service exceeded expectations. Joachim, our server, started the night with impeccable service, personable, informative and attentive. With seven in our party, a majority of the menu items were selected and enjoyed. All the selections were plentiful and flavorful. Highlights included the wedge salad (one of the best we’ve eaten), filets cooked perfectly, crab cakes loaded with crab, creamy lobster bisque, tender scallops and crispy salmon with a tender inside. Side dishes were served family style with enough left to take home. Dessert highlights included 10-layer chocolate cake, crème brûlée, and gelato trio. We will definitely return and request Joachim for each of our visits. Thank you, Joachim for making our dining experience special.

The cocktails were all prepared really well, the relish tray was the perfect amount for the 5 of us, and our brunch dishes (3 Benedicts, a brisket hash, and the omlette) were all delicious. Catherine took care of us and shifted her position when she noticed that my dad couldn't hear her. That's a level of attention that many don't have (people, let alone busy servers)!

We went with family, 2 who had been to St. Elmo’s before, 3 new. This restaurant was highly recommended by a former local. The experience was as wonderful as we were told it would be!! The food was fantastic, the service was amazing, Bill Shipley was great! What a wonderful evening!!
