Terrace seats are the best in this season! Honey butter was very delicious. Hamburgers with fried eggs are also delicious. The French fries are thinner than before⁉ read more

Over the last few years, Thanksgiving hasn't really been something we've done at either of our houses as a big family affair. Instead, we've leaned into doing the holiday a little differently--going out, slowing down, and letting someone else do the cooking. This year, we chose Commerce Kitchen for their Thanksgiving 2025 prix fixe menu, and I'm so glad we did. I'll be honest--I almost didn't get a reservation. Thanksgiving books up quickly, and it was looking like we had missed our window. Thankfully, after signing up for alerts on Resy, I managed to snag a last-minute opening, and it ended up being one of those "meant to be" meals. From the moment we sat down, service was prompt, efficient, and warm without feeling rushed--exactly what you want on a holiday. The pacing of the meal felt thoughtful, and every course arrived beautifully plated. For appetizers, my mom ordered the ravioli, which was absolutely delicious. The brown butter sauce was rich and comforting, making it the perfect fall dish without being overwhelming. I chose the pear and prosciutto salad, and it was divine. The crispy prosciutto paired beautifully with the peppery arugula and sweet pear--it was balanced, fresh, and full of texture. For my entrée, I ordered the prime rib, and it's something I would happily order again and again. It was cooked perfectly, tender, and full of flavor--easily the standout of the meal. The only small critiques I'd note were that the stuffing was a bit heavy-handed on the salt, and the green beans leaned heavily into garlic. That said, as a garlic lover, I thoroughly enjoyed them--so that one may come down to personal preference. Dessert was where we fully committed and tried it all. My mom chose the chocolate flourless torte, rich and decadent in the best way. I went with the spice cheesecake, which felt warm and seasonal without being too sweet. My sister ordered the bourbon pecan pie, and it was everything you'd want from a Thanksgiving dessert--comforting, indulgent, and perfectly finished. All in all, if you're someone who doesn't love cooking on Thanksgiving--or if you celebrate in a more nontraditional way, whether that's with a small family, a few loved ones, or even on your own--Commerce Kitchen is somewhere I would hands-down recommend. It felt intentional, welcoming, and special without being overdone, which is exactly how a Thanksgiving meal out should feel. read more

This was a great little spot within walking distance of our hotel in downtown Huntsville. Very courteous staff and flavorful food. Had an oyster appetizer that was well presented and good. The lamb was delicious and everything was well seasoned with Pepper. We walked in without reservations without a wait but the place was full of patrons. The wait time was reasonable and the atmosphere was simple but warm. Wish I had room for dessert cause the options look great! 4++ read more

My husband and I came here for the New Year's Eve 2025 dinner. It was his first visit, and I've always had a great experience. I made reservations through Resy for 8pm. We were there a few minutes early, but they went ahead and seated us. It took them quite a while to take our order. I got their espresso martini, which was fabulous as always. Their set menu for the evening was fantastic. I got the lobster ravioli and short rib. However, when it came to the dessert, they ran out of 2 of the 3 desserts, but somehow had a Dulce de leche cheesecake available. I wouldn't normally order that, but I definitely didn't want an Australian Strudel for dessert. Also, they seared us at the worst table, right where the doorway is and it really bothered my husband because everyone constantly had to walk by us. read more

It is easily one of the best Southern style restaurants I have experienced, perfect for sharing, relaxing, and enjoying a laid back meal. The service is excellent, and the waitress was friendly and welcoming, with a great smile that really set the tone for the evening. A restaurant is not just about the food, and the staff here clearly plays a big role in creating a great experience. I especially enjoyed the fried green tomatoes, which are perfect for two people, and the Moroccan spiced salmon was outstanding. A classic smoked old fashioned paired perfectly with the chilly weekday evening. Even though it was a weekday, the atmosphere was calm and relaxing, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. read more

Went here for Mother's Day. The food was ok. This is too small for big crowds. Server barely can fit into the aisle passing through. They need to have good knives that can cut the meat. I myself and son's girlfriend had the prime rib. You couldn't cut the meat with dull knives they had it was so ridiculous, I just finally gave up. This is supposed to be high end restaurant. Why doesn't the owner invest in good cutting knives. The waiter never even refilled our drinks we had to asked for it. I never even got a refill on my soda. I just thought forget it, it wasn't worth it. Also why do they have to blast their A/C. Everyone in our party was freezing. read more

Came on a Tuesday night with reservations made (recommended*). Was very cold in the restaurant, only reason I give it four stars. I was shivering Everything we ordered was fantastic and came out timely. Ordered oysters on half shell for appetizer & they charged us each .33 cents for crackers yikes. They were fresh and delicious. Entrées: Coffee crusted NY strip: cooked to perfection and delicious. Came with asparagus and potatoes. Porterhouse pork chop: best pork chop I've ever had. Juicy and I loved the sweet roasted Brussels for a side. Their Mac n cheese is so good! Harissa salmon : slightly undercooked (asked for medium); however great flavor Buttermilk fried chicken w/ gravy : Tuesday special. Once again the Mac n cheese is so great and the green beans were fresh. They have specials each night of the week; see menu picture. Drinks: jack rabbit and cherry blossom; quality drink with unique flavors. read more

Commerce Kitchen has been a staple in upscale dining in Huntsville for as long as I can remember. I'm not someone who does "fancy" too often so I've never had a chance to try it as other options have been more enticing on the rare occasion when we do want a finer dining experience. About two weeks ago I made plans to try Revivalist for lunch. I showed up there only to find their hours don't match what's posted on Google and they were closed for later lunch (~2:00 PM). I popped up the street to BeeZr and Poppy and Parliament. Also closed in the later afternoon. I was trying to kill time before an appointment and I really wanted to try a restaurant I'd never been to...so I strolled over to Commerce to find them open. Here goes! The entrance is actually on Franklin Street as opposed to the square, though there is a door leading out onto the square. I was seated promptly when I arrived. The restaurant was almost entirely empty except for one pair of older women. It's small and cramped inside and there's a row of seating in the aisle of the restaurant that I imagine would be very uncomfortable to sit in during prime time -- too much moving around. I wasn't dressed fancy at all and no one said anything, so that was nice for me. I was seated by a window with a view to the square, which I enjoyed. The decor is simple and classic -- just fine. The ladies' restroom is a one holer and clean. Displayed nearby is their recent health score. CK and other downtown establishments have been beset by iffy scores recently. This one read in the high 80s. Not absolutely a no-go for me personally, though you'd hope for better at an establishment like this in particular. CK is a James Boyce restaurant concept, as are many other upscale restaurants in the Huntsville area, especially downtown (to include Pane e Vino, Cotton Row, and Grille on Main in Providence). Honestly, I've historically not been terribly impressed with any of them, but I do always try to let each restaurant speak for itself. I was a little miffed to find the lunch menu here to be nearly identical to the lunch menu I got at Grille on Main when I visited about 2 years ago. I wish they'd freshen up the menu as well as at least provide a few differences between restaurants. Although I ordered the fried green tomato BLT at Grille on Main when I visited, nothing else on the menu really tempted me for lunch, so I ordered the same thing here. I also got a sweet tea to drink. Overall, I will say the fried green tomato BLT was about the same in quality. The tomatoes were sliced way too thick for my preference and the breading didn't bind super well and didn't have a lot of flavor. The pimento cheese was good but there wasn't enough of it. The bacon was cooked well and the bread was nicely toasted. One large improvement over GoM was the French fries. These didn't have the same super mealy frozen-fried texture like GoM did. They were also seasoned much better. The sweet tea needed both more sugar and more time steeping; it was very watery. Overall, the food was pretty average. On the bright side, lunch prices are more reasonable than dinner prices. One highlight of my experience was my waiter, Timothy. He was polite, attentive, and very pleasant. He wrote a kind thank you on my check and I noticed he had lovely handwriting. He was gracious with my compliment and we had a nice chat about how he does the lettering for the displays outside. Shout out to Timothy! I will likely continue to shop around the fancy restaurants in town. Still, this is a serviceable option for lunch downtown. read more

Was amazing. Loved the food ! The choices were excellent. Service also very good. I was pleasantly surprised coming from Las Vegas.

Service and ambiance def had an improvement from the first visit. Sat outside and it was pleasant out with no horseflies this time. Cute little lamps to create a nice cozy vibe. Ordered the blackened redfish and it was delicious! My friend ordered the salmon and they enjoyed it as well. Server was really kind and attentive but not overbearing. Got the Oaxacan old fashioned and it was perfect. Light for an old fashioned. Idk why this place is so lowly rated. Food is good and good portions compared to nearby restaurants. read more

We eaten there a few times and enjoyed each time we did. Recently we dined there again and although the food was good the dining area was badly crowded. So much so that the wait staff could hardly navigate the floor. I guess they added additional seating or something; but it was not fun. We will not go back and sit cramped like that. read more

After multiple internet searches, I settled on this place for dinner while in town for work. The menu seemed like a winner. The decor and ambience was great. Loved the vibe. Against my better judgment, I started with their special...chicken and sausage gumbo. It was cold that day...I don't usually eat chicken n sausage gumbo..and NEVER outside of Nola. What the hell was I thinking??? The Gumbo arrived with some micro greens on top. Huh? I can honestly say it had good flavor but tasted nothing like a gumbo. More like just a tasty soup with chicken in it. I also ordered the brisket with bourbon cola sauce. Brisket was tough and the sauce didn't taste of cola or bourbon. Collard greens were magnificent. Hands down some of the best I've ever had. Waitress was very friendly, even when she asked about the Gumbo and I replied "maam this isn't a gumbo". Lol. I don't typically have room for dessert but I decided to get one to go since I didn't eat all of my meal. It was a granola bread pudding and it was delicious! I would honestly return here just for the greens but man can't live on greens alone. read more

A hit and miss experience. The service was wonderful and the experience started nicely;however as the restaurant began to fill up it became really noisy and just felt so crowded. We could barely hear each other at the table. We started with the fried green tomatoes as suggested by Destiny our server and these were awesome. The fried goat cheese salad was blah. The dressing overwhelmed the greens and was just a bit heavy for the salad. It took away from the fried goat cheese, which would have been better by itself. The braised short rib ravioli was disappointing. The ravioli filling just did not work with the short rib. I ask the server for clarification as to what the filling was but never got a clear answer. The dish came with five ravioli, I ate two and then just decided to eat the braised meat. All in all for the price point, we left feeling underwhelmed. read more

Wait staff was pleasant and the lunch was perfect. Kitchen ran a little slow, so they provided a free appetizer. Nice thought.

Exceptional restaurant. Excellent food and staff. We are at Commerce Kitchen several times a month for brunch or dinner. The staff know us and treat us great! All of the servers treat us very well and go the extra mile. It's a great place to enjoy a quiet meal. and the bar service and signature cocktails are amazing too! read more

Visiting Huntsville and decided to have a quick meal before heading back home. Our appetizer order Avocado Shrimp Toast, took more than 30min only AFTER we asked what was the reason for the delay, no server around, no eye contact. Mgr came to give us " an explanation"... unnecessary ! Bad experience was already determined. The LACK of avocado on the toast made us try something that was toast with shrimp only. Restaurant was almost empty. Nice decoration, bad management = poor service/food. PD: we just paid $10.90 w taxes thanks to the mgr comp. You can do way better !! read more

First time in Huntsville and was able to get a reservation on OpenTable here - we arrived really early and they got us in no problem even though they were really busy. We had a corner table up front that was great. I had the Basic Bee cocktail which was really good, I was worried about how floral the hibiscus tea would be but it was perfectly sweet, husband got a glass of wine. We weren't super hungry so skipped apps and went straight to our meal - I got the half chicken with potato hash and green beans and the hubby got a wedge salad and the braised short rib ravioli. My chicken was nice and moist, the potatoes were mostly cold and underdone, and I got 6 green beans that were really good but yeah, there were only 6. Husbands ravioli got a great review, service was good, a little slow towards the end but it was a busy night and didn't bother us. Would definitely try it again but maybe a different food selection. read more

One of my favorite restaurant downtown Huntsville. We usually come at dinner time, so our favorite server, Claire, was not in yet. We enjoyed shrimp and grits, fish taco, shrimp scampi and loaded French fries to start.

Made a reservation for an early valentines dinner, party of 2 on a early Tuesday night. We were the 2nd table sat in the dining room and we got the corner table which was very uncomfortable. The dining area is small. The service and food was great. We ordered the chicken bites appetizer, very good flavor and sauce. I got the daily featured fish, swordfish with max&cheese and arugula salad. The salad was amazing, swordfish was kind of dry but the lemon butter was great. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly, not the best I've had but still good, the collard greens were a hit, they're amazing. No dessert because they were out of creme brûlée. Sweet tea and espresso martini was delicious! read more

We stopped in with a group. I have to start with a positive, the service, it was amazing! Not a single complaint at all! The food however was less than par for many of us. I tried the espresso New York strip and I was very very underwhelmed. Extremely fatty, chewy and no flavor. The filet was the same way, very chewy and not tender like it should have been. The prime rib was probably the hit of the tables, I didn't hear any complaints about that dish. We had a ton of appetizers and they were all pretty decent, nothing just outstanding though. Overall the visit wasn't a good one at all as far as food goes, especially after seeing the cost of the whole party. read more

We've been to many restaurants in the Huntsville area and Commerce Kitchen truly stands out as the best. The attention to detail and commitment to guest service set it miles apart from the competition. The food here is phenomenal, every bite bursts with flavor and the fresh ingredients were clearly evident in each dish. A true culinary delight. The menu is diverse with great varieties to address anyone's pallet. Each dish we've enjoyed has been absolutely delicious, especially the Fried Goat Cheese Salad and Wednesday's Special of Bourbon & Cola Braised Brisket, with Potato Hash and Braised Collard Greens. Friday's Special of Prime Rib is another of our favorites. Make sure you don't pass up on a desire - Tres Leches Cheesecake with a Cappuccino will hit the spot! The service is excellent, the staff always polite and attentive going above and beyond to ensure you a wonderful dining experience. read more
