It’s this darling man’s birthday today ✨
He’s technically the boss but cringes anytime we call him that which tells you a lot about the kind of person he is.
Commis is a special place because Daniel created it, curates it, and tends to it daily with warmth and unparalleled care.
We love him lots and know a lot of you do too!
Come swing past this eve to join us in celebrating him 🥂

Chef Evan’s tenure as the head of the Commis kitchen has come to a close 🤎
Evan has been with the venue since opening and we are deeply appreciate of all the love, time, and creativity he has given each and every dish. We are so lucky to have had such a talent in our kitchen and are very excited for all the culinary adventures that await him.
Tonight will be his last at the helm.
Swing by and blow him a kiss or better yet,
shout him a beer!🍻
Thanks for everything !!!!
We will fondly miss you.

From March 24th - 28th we are honoured to be hosting guest chef Oscar Yanez.
His culinary style is influenced by a Peruvian Latin American heritage and upbringing in Western Sydney, resulting in an offering of cultural density and his uniqueness of sight.
Oscar is a dear friend of the venue and a talented protean of sensory avenues. Chef, visual artist, musician; a list of skills that continues in breadth and equal measures of depth.
Having worked within some of Melbourne’s beloved kitchens (Mamasita, Geralds Bar, Neapoli, and beyond), he is a welcomed guest in the space.
Catch his menu -this week only- at Commis.
Reservations recommended,
