Holiday menu
Rosh Hashanah
A three-course prix fixe across three evenings.
As published
Come into Commissary for a Three-Course Prix Fixe Menu celebrating Rosh Hashanah! $35 per person, Wednesday September 20th through Friday September 22nd after 5pm.
Three evenings, not one
Running the menu across three nights rather than one is the detail that made it work. Rosh Hashanah observance varies between households, and a three-day window lets people come when their own schedule allows rather than competing for a single seating.
It also meant the kitchen could prepare properly for a menu that is genuinely different from the regular dinner service.
Part of a wider calendar
Commissary has marked Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur (through the Break the Fast service), Passover and Purim over the years — alongside Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Pride, MLK Day and Veteran’s Day. The holiday calendar here is unusually broad for a restaurant of this size.
