I had to return my meal. I got the jerk chicken and it was bloody. Not rare, but truly bloody. They took it off my bill, but it disgusted our entire group. I would not go back.

I'm fussing about service and eticatcy. For most this would have been totally ok. But when in an eating establishment as this I don't expect one's plate to be removed before the other person has finished eating. Took away a star. Another star taken as it was freezing in the restaurant area. I had goosebumps pretty much the whole time! Food was delicious and nicely presented. I had the half teriyaki, partner the duck breast. Both very flavorful. Oh and the brussel sprouts with yogurt as an appetizer. Tasty. Drinks were standard.

Our group thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at the Commons Club on "Fat Friday" (the Friday before Mardi Gras). The ambiance, the food, the service, everything is a total vibe. I will definitely be back.

The menu is limited, but the food was delicious. The restaurant is located within the Virgin Hotel. There is an amazingly appointed semi-private room with a table for six at the corner of the restaurant.
