   I'm sorry , it just didn't meet my expectations for a "special" night out, after much hype about this restaurant online. Upon arrival there was confusion with the patrons in front of us about finding their reservation, which was getting tense, and made me uncomfortable, and I ALMOST wanted to give up our reservation to them. That situation was not handled well by staff at all. Once seated the ambiance was ok, and the live music was nice. However, we were seated at a table next to the bar, and having sports on the televisions created a bit of a conflict in atmosphere. The food was the highlight of the evening.....we both ordered pasta dishes, which were outstanding. However servings seemed small for the price of $30.00+. The Beet salad was the best thing we had all evening, and I highly recommend it. No bread was served with the salad or pasta, and when we asked for some, we were brought two "supermarket" plain white dinner rolls, not warmed and no butter or olive oil. They would benefit from finding and serving a nice bread, even if they charge for it. Service was just ok, but it was Valentine's Day and the restaurant was very busy.

   The breakfast was delicious! We had the French toast and the eggs Benedict. The eggs were poached just right. The service was very good and the restaurant was decorated very festive for Valentine’s Day. We will be back!

   Food was really tasty and drinks were good as well. Nellie our server was very prompt and friendly. I had steak cooked to perfection and my husband had chicken also very good. It was my birthday so they brought out a sparkler and decorated happy birthday slate with our very delicious crème Brulé the only thing that would have been nice is some bread before our meal with our cocktails Overall nice birthday dinner!

   Overall a fabulous experience. Hostess was pleasant and efficient. We went to the bar for a cocktail, they were very good. Nikolai as the bartender was very personable and excellent. The food was good. The crab cake was exceptional. Highly recommend the crab cake. Nice wine selection. Modern decor with an upbeat vibe. Truly a gem! Pleased with our experience. We were celebrating a birthday. We were not rushed. Server was Dimitry and he was exceptional also. ♥️🍷🥃

   We had a delicious dinner. We started with a super Tusan wine that as great and the baked Brie. My wife had the seafood pasta and I had the grouper. The pasta was bursting with flavor and the grouper was out of this world. We had a side of mashed potatoes which had a garlic flavor which was delicious. We finished with the salted caramel cheesecake. The only slight knock on dinner was the baked Brie was not nearly as tasty as the rest of the meal. Despite that we still give this restaurant five stars.

   The place was beautifully decorated and clean. Only one toilet for girls so you will have to wait if it's busy. Our waiter Dimitri forgot our shrimp order and took much to long to check us out. He was by himself, to mention. So he had to do the bar, seat people and I even saw him helping with a job application, as well as everyone's waiter. About 5 different tables. None the less, 20m to get our check is to long.

   Our dining experience at Commelfo for a late lunch was absolutely wonderful! The drinks to include the Lavender and Pear Martinis as well as the Old Fashioned and the Florida Mule were delectable. But the food was absolutely phenomenal! The appetizers we shared included the crab cake, the bruschetta caprese, and the commelfo salad with blackened shrimp. All 3 appetizers were delicious. For entrees the lobster ravioli was to die for and expertly prepared. The chicken gnocchi was also amazing. Our waitress was extremely flexible, sweet, and attentive to our needs. 10/10 experience. Our only regret is everything was so delicious and in the moment that we forgot to take any pictures of the food and drinks but they were beautifully prepared! This is without hesitation a MUST TRY! We are going back for dinner service. Our waitress Neala T at Commelfo went above and beyond normal customer service. She was quite possibly the most patient, sweet, and most flexible server we have ever come across. She didn’t rush us out even though the restaurant kitchen closed at 2pm. The food and drinks were fabulous but Neala’s hospitality went above and beyond what was expected. We will definitely come back and recommend this restaurant to our friends and family.

   We made a reservation but when we arrived there was no one around to seat us. There were customers sitting at tables eating, but no servers or host around. We stood at the hostess stand for 15mins, and then decided to leave. No idea why no one was around to seat us

    Our meal at Commelflo was excellent, the service unfortunately was just meh. Our waiter and the other two members of the staff we interacted with seemed disinterested. I am one of those people who likes dining at a fine restaurant to be a total experience. As mentioned above our meals(all four) were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, but the staff just seemed totally disinterested. If you are looking for a fine meal and aren't really concerned about the experience, then Commelflo is the place for you. However, if you are looking for a fine dining experience you should probably look elsewhere. Another example of their disinterest, and many restaurants that offer online reservations are guilty of this same type of disinterest; is asking you if this is a special event and then totally ignoring your response.
