You can always count on excellent food and great service at Commissary. The crowd is not the obnoxious omg-let's-go-to-14th street group but more locals. It's a gem!!
Derek FromsonApril 14, 2013Delicious neighborhood spot w/a great indoor/outdoor vibe. If you can't sit outside, try the comfy lounge seats inside. Cranberry chicken salad BLT on toasted pita w/side of corn&bean salad is tasty.
Bitches Who BrunchMarch 23, 2016Happy hour is from 3-7 p.m. The bites include truffle fries, edamame, Brussels sprouts, and Buffalo chicken mac & cheese. Plus tacos, nachos, salads, burgers, sandwiches, and pizza for all under $7. Read more
Great atmosphere, outside seating in Logan Circle, delicious veggie burger, well-labeled menu. Natalie Portman has been seen here when she's in town noshing on the fine vegan options.
John KalishMay 19, 2014Potato pancakes and sausage are EXCELLENT- also get the peach old fashioned. The "omelet platter is good, but ask for some salsa on the side.- Bitches Who BrunchApril 13, 2016We loved the short ribs Benedict. It arrived piled high on two pieces of cornbread toast. The short rib meat was thick and juicy, and smothered with BBQ Hollandaise. Read more
Tracy IsaacJune 14, 2016Delicious! Definitely make a reservation for this spot. It is very popular. I enjoyed the lox egg white scramble, roasted potatoes with an everything bagel.
Behrad EatsMarch 23, 2014Great place to have a healthy lunch. I'd recommend the Big Veggie Salad with Chicken which comes with lemon vinaigrette dressing.
Rhea S.August 5, 2014They are patient and accommodating to dietary restrictions, AND the food is good! We went there for Sunday brunch and had Stephen as our server, and he was great!
Great happy hour spot and also delicious and changing menu. $2 Tuesday is great and happy hour outside till 6pm is a nice touch
Kevin OrndorffOctober 14, 2013Food was really good! I got the omelette platter and boy was it filling. My friend got the braised short ribs Benedict and it was delicious as well.
Matt BernsteinMay 31, 2015Good happy hour with some nice deals on small plates and cocktails. I like the peach old fashioned and the Kung pao chicken wings
Danielle C.December 25, 2019Great breakfast! The gluten-free pancakes were delicious. The pancake platter can be made gluten-free as well.
Caro LJune 22, 2014Free wifi. Good breakfast-brunch menu. Nice terasse (but for sunday brunch, there is a waiting list). Unlimited coffee refills. Vegan friendly.
Rachel OrrAugust 17, 2014Loved breakfast here one morning. Decent prices for the meal. Can't wait to come back!
Maggie OliveJune 29, 2014The host was nice and the food was good. I recommend the coconut curry stir fry with salmon. However, I was very disappointed with our waiter. If you're seated in Morgan's section, asked to be moved.- Aiden KirchnerSeptember 13, 2011Casual cross between a restaurant and loungeYou'll find just as many couches as tables here, as guests are encouraged to slow down, relax and take their time while enjoying some great food
- Danielle C.December 25, 2019Make a reservation if you are coming for breakfast/brunch on the weekend. It can get busy.

David RuffAugust 2, 2010Great Happy Hour specials. I love the hummus and Pita. Simple, but cheap and filling. I also love the basic eggs and toast breakfast. Add a side of potato pancakes and you've got a tasty, simple br
Tom De WitAugust 17, 2023We had the signature burger and salmon. Both were delicious. Also the service is great.
Love the buffalo chicken salad, goat cheese omlet, and the COFFEE. I always ask for Emily bc she genuinely engaged me without being overbearing. Perfect, timely service.
Tom BurkaJune 22, 2012Real mixed bag: avoid the stale chips and questionable guacamole (there was a piece of something humans can't chew in it) but enjoy the reasonable beer list and have the excellent Brats.

Marissa SeeNovember 9, 2015Make your own omelette - avocado on an omelette!? Brilliant!!! Apple cinnamon pancake is to die for

Great hang out, happy hour and brunch spot. Food and drinks never disappoint! Must try commi-kado specialty margarita
Chris H.April 4, 2015Buffalo burger salad was good. Comes pretossed with dressing, though, which was pretty light. Ask for extra dressing on the side.
Filbert WSeptember 23, 2016Blueberry pancakes are amazing! Full of blueberries. Next time I'm getting a full stack.
Pablo GoldbargJune 11, 2013Affordable, healthy conscious, delicious with friendly service and sunny tables. A must in the area.- Happy hour every day from 3-7 in the lounge and at the bar. Chicken nachos are noteworthy for sure.
Val and Mario are the best bartenders I've ever had. They are awesome. Happy hour prices are a really good deal.
Katrina KuhnAugust 3, 2012You can tell the croutons on their Caesar salad are homemade..yum! Try the potato pancakes.
