    My wife uttered, "this food is better than some of the restaurants on South Padre". South Padre Island is a frequent vacation spot of ours and I must agree with my wife, sweet baby Jesus, the food here is f'ing delicious. This will be out go-to spot when we return to Commerce.

    Whole friend Tilapia. It comes with salad, fries and rice. Good deal:D

    El Golfo is the only seafood eatery in Commerce, TX. The restaurant is neat and clean. Food quantity is great! The staff are friendly. Their whole fried Tilapia and shrimp gumbo are my favorites!

    Fresh and tasty. Place looks divey but run by nice folks. Got the oysters and fried shrimp- like the cornmeal batter they were fried in!

    Half a dozen of oysters

    Ordered a seafood platter for 2 and it only came with 4 pieces of shrimp, 1 crab cluster, and 1 potato with some sausage.

    Great service. Great seafood broil. Little hole in the wall place that is off the beaten path but so worth it!

    Aloha, Tiki Tuesday! What a fun way to spend a Tuesday evening! The tropical cocktails helped us…read morefeel as though we were transported to the islands. They were not only beautifully crafted but absolutely delicious--each sip had us dreaming of swaying palm trees, ocean breezes, and a Hawaiian getaway. We loved both the Mai Tais and the Beachy Bookkeeper! We decided to share a few appetizers. The Meatballs al Forno was my favorite...packed with flavor and perfect for enjoying with friends over drinks. The Heirloom Tomato Burrata was okay however, the tomatoes didn't seem ripe and were hard and chewy. The Lobster in a Jar was tasty - on the pricey side if you ask me though... One of my favorite things about this spot is the ambiance. The lighting is low (and by low I am flat out dark where you almost can't see your hand in front of your face), creating a dark, cozy, and intimate atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and unwind after a long day. Whether you're catching up with friends, enjoying a date night, or simply looking for a place to escape for a few hours, the vibe here is spot on. The service was fantastic as well. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed, which only added to the experience. Tiki Tuesday has officially become one of my favorite weekly traditions. Great drinks, delicious appetizers, wonderful service, and a cozy atmosphere--what more could you ask for? I'll definitely be back next Tuesday for another little island escape. Where's my grass skirt and coconut bra??? Mahalo for a great evening!

    We came here in a week night with reservations though they were not needed. The place was hopping…read morewith live music byt not full by any means. Walk in via J Theodore, the ohone booth is to the left. It's a cool novelty calling with a book name to enter via the book shelf. Once inside the speak easy area there were two seating options. The Library which is set away from the open lounge area and quieter or the lounge area with the bar. They would not let us pick our spot despite seating being available. We opted for the lounge area as the seat offered to us there was better to our preference. The tables are packed quiet tightly which i dont like personally but i get it. That tidbit aside it is definitely a cool environment. Service was really nice and the food we ordered was great. I presume it's the same menu as J Theodore so I'm going to have to try that now for a more restaurant style meal. This is a cool place to hang out and bring friends imo. Since we don't really drink we'll probably end up at the restaurant next time as it's not easy to eat on tiny tables. It's a bar/lounge after all.

    Very cozy speakeasy tucked in plano suburbs. Love the decor and they also play really good music…read more The drinks here are pretty solid though they are on the sweeter side. Make sure take advantage of their daily happy hour deals that last until 7! If you come in during their martini thursday i'd highly recommend the espresso martini. Even though it didnt have a frothy foam top the flavor was very very well balanced, it was almost tea-like!

Also need a password to enter! They have some comfy lounge couches in the back. That's where we decided to sit. We all started off with cocktails, I had the Paloma and Jake's Milk Punch. Which the Milk punch caught me off guard, it's a pina colada with a twist. We all said the cocktails were really good! And ended it with the Freddy snacks, which are shots. The bartender did an amazing job on the drinks! Our host was John who always checked on us, and told us all the details about the food. As far as food we ordered Wagyu smash burger sliders, Asian sticky ribs, and Shrimp scampi. Everything was so good! It makes us all want to try Sea Breeze restaurant which it's inside of. I want to try their other menu items even more now. We will definitely be back!
