    Commissary is like your favorite old sweater - familiar, comfortable and inviting. The food is great. It’s not fancy but thoughtful and tasty. It’s the kind of neighborhood place that welcomes interlopers from the hinterlands of the Virginia suburbs as well as the “in crowd.” Commissary is our go-to pre-theater dinner when we’re going to Studio Theatre. If you want “fancy schmancy” go to Le Diplomate. If you want good food and a 67% discount go to Commissary.

    I don't think Commissary gets enough credit for having really good food at reasonable prices. My warm steak salad was more like a regular-sized dinner item than a salad. The steak was cooked perfectly and the accompaniments were delicious. We split the pumpkin cheesecake for dessert, also delicious. Service was impeccable (shout out to Samantha!). Only criticism is that the restaurant itself was a little dirty; for example, there was bits of toilet paper around our table which was not cleaned up during our visit. My husband noticed when we sat down. I didn't, or I would have requested a clean up.

    So, so disappointing. Our reserved table wasn't ready when we arrived. Drinks took 20 minutes to arrive. The entries took 45 minutes to arrive and were cold by the time they reached our table. We were repeat customers, but we won't be returning.

    Overall we had a great time here! The food was pretty good. The pancakes we had were a little burnt and did not have much flavor. But the sandwich he got and was very good. Would definitely try it again but order something else. The chai latte was very good though. Asked if I had an allergies which was great since I do have a shellfish allergy. For sure an allergy friendly place.

    Food was mediocre. Drinks were good. Service was minimal. Furnishings were underwhelming. (We had two tables pushed together and mismatched…ugh) Advertised happy hour times is inaccurate. (Bar has different HH times than tables) Bar tender was indignant about HH rules and regulations- repeating himself over and over again about the rules and times and whatnot. I am surprised that this restaurant is on any list for good eats.

    The decor and ambiance are fantastic! The blend of casual paired with amazing food makes this a great place to grab a bite or just hang out at the bar. The Peruvian chicken might be the best roasted chicken dish I've ever had! You will not be disappointed with your visit to Commissary.

    We had looked forward to another meal at the Commissary but unfortunately it was just average. We ate there twice before the pandemic and it was excellent but this time the food was just mediocre. My husband ordered a pizza and it was under baked and soft with no color to the crust. I had the chicken Parm which was overcooked and the sauce was just average.  Our server probably was overworked, he was friendly, but we rarely saw him. Another server took our order and a third person delivered our food. We saw him again when he brought us our check. We were seated outside and I think he probably had tables inside as well. It did not help that we were seated right next to the service door with people in an out and passing our table constantly. When we were first seated we asked if we could move to a different table and the hostess told us that she couldn’t because she had to seat us by section. Whatever that meant.

    The food was delicious and the service was great. If you like grilled Brussel sprouts, definitely order these. Commissary does a great job of accommodating larger groups. They also have a few round tables which are nice for group meals. The noise level is high because it’s a typical DC open floor plan with no internal walls but you can still hear everyone at your table.

    It is nice to have an affordable brunch option in DC. The food service was fast and accurate. I would not say it was an "elevated" brunch in terms of dining experience and thoughtful preparation, but you get good food for a decent price. I was disappointed in my breakfast panini. The cheese was not melted, the Canadian bacon was raw, not cooked before going on the sandwich, and the tomato was bland. Just didn't enjoy it. I was with a large dining party so I didn't want to draw attention away from the table by sending it back. Just think the kitchen needs to be more thoughtful in the technical preparation of food.
