Commissary

Review

Brimming with Southern California charm with its mildly-lit laidback décor and palm trees-laden alfresco terrace, the Yenn Wong-helmed all-American eatery stands in welcome contrast to the surrounding soaring skyscrapers, with a menu boasting no shortage of quality classics. The double cheeseburger came with cheese-cloaked juicy patties and spice-seasoned fries, and the fish tacos lent a textured, zesty crunch. The surprising show-stealer, however, was the salted caramel pretzel milkshake—spiked with a dash of wild turkey bourbon—that had diners ooh-ing and ahh-ing over its presentation and creamy, crunchy goodness in every sip. Friendly, knowledgeable staff, a wide-ranging cocktail and beer list and the prime location make this one-year-old eatery a solid destination for weekend brunches, happy hours, or just the spontaneous get-together.
