    Great meal with quality food and service. The only downside was that we noted on OpenTable that we were celebrating something, but were placed at a high-top, which felt casual. Maybe they didn’t have anything else available or just not amazing for special occasions. Would recommend for any other time!

    Hi Miranda! Thanks for leaving a review- sorry about your table placement! We are always happy to adjust if you note that a lower table is preferred. Just let us know :)

    Good value, excellent service and a cool vibe. The local beer selection is fantastic, our server and the other team members were super friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend checking The Common out for drinks, or appetizers or for a good meal at a great price.

    The chicken literally melted in our mouth! Even something as simple as 'Nachos' were served with tangy onions, totally different from usual. The ambience, specially their wall with mirrors and artwork sets an opulent tone.

    Hi Shaivya, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. The art wall is our favourite, too! Happy you had a great visit.

    My first time at The Common. Atmosphere and decor were nice. However, it was a tad loud due to a few larger gatherings in the main space. My only other comment, the gravy was quite salty in my poutine. It seems they salted the fries and added the gravy. Was a little overpowering salt wise. Great server and good food otherwise 🤗
