    Great cocktails and beer choices! Order the steak frites and wings. Lots of fried brussel sprouts with the steak were super crispy! Will definitely be back to try other menu items.

    For the noise level and ambiance, The Common should be labelled as a pub and not a restaurant. Food was good.

    Went for lunch, they have a more limited menu for lunch. We had the chicken sandwich and the chicken bowl. Both were excellent. Our food came out REALLY fast which does lead me to think they have most of their food ready to go. Great for a quick lunch.

    Nice decor, nice energy. Food was great for the most part- the cucumber pieces in the cucumber salad were far too large for a human mouth, would’ve been nice if they were bite sized. Otherwise it was delicious. Drinks were meh, have never seen an old fashioned with so much ice which obviously made it taste very watered down. Overall though, it was a really nice experience and not too pricey.

    Food and drinks were very good. Service also. I questioned the final bill as menu stated $10 for 6 oz glass of wine. Bill said $11. Server said it’s an old menu. Maybe someone should change the price then. He did adjust to menu pricing. Thanks for doing that. Overall The Common is very good.
    The CommonResponded on September 4, 2024
    Hi THOMAS, We appreciate you for pointing out your price adjustment. We change over our menus regularly and unfortunately there's the very odd time that something gets missed. Always looking for ways to improve so we appreciate you pointing it out! Thanks for the visit and please come back soon :)
