Why they're an Icon
Executive chef: James Syhabout
MICHELIN 2 Stars2024- MICHELIN 2 Stars2023
From the OpenTable editors: Ever-changing menus take center stage at chef James Syhabout’s intimate Commis, the East Bay’s only two-starred MICHELIN restaurant. Expect dishes that spotlight local ingredients with Southeast Asian influences, like the fan-favorite slow-poached egg yolk with smoked dates and onion cream, all in a modern 12-seat space that feels like you’re eating in someone’s cool living room.

$100.00 per person
Prepaid
Apr 30, 2025 onlyIn celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage month we are excited to be cooking in tandem with Chef James Yuen Leung Parry of Happy Crane restaurant that is slated to open very soon in San Francisco. The Happy Crane represents a restaurant and a mission that is deeply personal to James Yeun Leong Parry, The Happy Crane’s chef and founder. Born half-Chinese and English, fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin, Parry’s unique upbringing and experiences have shaped everything we do. Raised in Hong Kong, a place that deftly tread the line between East and West, but never compromised on its cuisine. Adventures across Mainland China, from his Beijing years immersed in the country’s richly diverse culture, to tutelage in the culinary capital of Chengdu, studying the inner workings of regional Sichuan cuisine. Then a return to his home city, rising the ranks of Michelin-starred Chinese, Japanese and French kitchens such as Bo Innovation, Tenku RyuGin and Ta Vie. And the right opportunities brought him here to the Bay Area, where he joined Corey Lee’s three Michelin-starred Benu and later Palette Tea House as their Chef de Cuisine. Those global experiences now effortlessly present themselves on your plate. Local, seasonal flavours. Modern, but not fusion. Progressive, but profoundly Chinese. The Happy Crane is a contemporary Chinese restaurant with the mission of changing people’s perception of what a Chinese restaurants in the Bay Area can be. We offer a multi-course tasting menu for $259 per person. An optional global beverage pairing is available for $119 per person. A $100 per guest security deposit is collected upon booking the reservation. The deposit will be credited towards your final check after your experience at the restaurant.

Commis x Chef Aisha Ibrahim - $259 Per Guest
$100.00 per person
Prepaid
May 14, 2025 onlyIn celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage month we are excited to be cooking in tandem with Chef Aisha Ibrahim, formerly of Canlis in Seattle, Washington. Aisha Ibrahim was born in Iligan City located in the Philippines southernmost island, Mindanao. She immigrated to the U.S. at the age of six and remained connected to her heritage through her parents and grandparents’ cooking. She launched her career in 2006 relocating to the Bay Area after leaving a college basketball scholarship to pursue cooking full time. Throughout her career, she has spent time at some of the best kitchens in the world including Commis, Manresa, Azurmendi, Kagurazaka Ishikawa, L’effervescence, & Nihonryori Ryugin. Ibrahim accepted the Executive Chef position at Canlis Restaurant in April 2021. In 2023, she was recognised as a Food & Wine Best New Chef in its 35th class. In 2024 she was named to the North American panel in the San Pellegrino Young Chef Competition as well as North America’s global mentor for the upcoming international competition in Milan, Italy later this year. In October 2024, she was named to TIME Magazine’s prestigious 100 NEXT —a list of emerging global leaders who are shaping and redefining the next generation of leadership. In November of 2024, she was also named to Robb Report’s “Ten Rising Power Players in American Fine Dining”. A bit of insight on her very own new upcoming restaurant: Unlike the rest of Filipino cuisine, Mindanaoan cuisine utilizes spices common to Southeast Asia such as turmeric, galangal, coriander, lemongrass, cinnamon, chillies, and the leaves or zest of native citrus. The cuisine of the indigenous ethnolinguistic south is rich and spice-based reflecting the history and pride in the Philippines most diverse island. With a strong use of coconut milk and spice pastes, it distinguishes itself clearly from the rest of the Philippines. We offer a multi-course tasting menu for $259 per person. An optional global beverage pairing is available for $119 per person. A $100 per guest security deposit is collected upon booking the reservation. The deposit will be credited towards your final check after your experience at the restaurant. Pricing is exclusive of a 20% service charge CANCELLATION POLICY *For cancellations, please call or email the restaurant at least 48 hours in advance and we will issue a full refund. The reservation cannot be changed, rescheduled or refunded within 2 days of your reservation date. Policy applies to COVID related cancellations.
