Food was unexceptional and service good. We had the place to ourselves on a Saturday night. Okay for a large group. Unless you are hotel bound, I am sure you can find a better place nearby.

Phenomenal dinner and breakfast! For dinner we started with creamy thick crab soup that was awesome. They substituted Salmon for the Sea Bass that they were out of; it was served over cheese polenta with spinach and tomatoes. The fish was cooked perfectly and the seasoning was great. My husband's Marriott Burger was cooked exactly as he requested.
My new favorite breakfast, Jumbo Lump Crab Hash with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce, was amazing! I couldn't believe how large the crab was and how much was in the serving. Eggs were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was wonderful.

I went today for a family lunch and to celebrate our younger cousin graduating from John's Hopkins U. The restaurants severs were awesome, very attentive, and extremely professional. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was delightful.

Delicious bowl of creamy rich crab chowder with a fresh crusty roll and fresh butter was amazing and really hit the spot for lunch. Must try! I liked this place so much that I went back for dinner. My crabcakes were delicious -- lots of crabmeat, barely any filler! Finished with a great cup of coffee. Breakfast -- sirloin steak eggs, and toast. Just go, OK? :)

The Common is the hotel restaurant located at the College Park Marriott on the University of Maryland campus. I stayed at the hotel for a couple of nights and ordered from the restaurant several times. The restaurant serves American food in a casual, but modern setting. I really like the burger and Smith Island cake here that I got for takeout. However, I found my dine-in experience to be lackluster with slow service. Pricing is on the high side for what you get, which is to be expected for a hotel restaurant. As I was short on time, I think this restaurant served its purpose of offering food for a hotel guest. However, I would have likely ventured to a nearby local restaurant instead if not for the circumstances.

Been here many times, as it’s near my place of employment. Pricey, boring, but competent food. Great service.

Staying at the hotel and not wanting to fight traffic being out of town. Here I am, sitting at a wobbly table with tea spilt, brought my own because I thought that they didn’t have a herbal selection and they didn’t. I had looked ahead and saw the menu online, arrived here and was told menu is unavailable (buffet only)not much better than your standard Continental breakfast at the Holiday Inn except here with the service charge I paid $21. As I was sitting here digesting my food I’m realizing that fighting traffic is becoming more appealing.
Ok let me clear up that I didn't give this spot a 5 star only because it always took soooo long to get food or service. I did give it a 4 star because the food was good. The Starbucks coffee was good. The people were nice! It's a beautiful restaurant. It was just the delay in getting food, getting help and getting our check - each time. It is the only eatery at the Marriott and does have great food. The Starbucks coffee is just that - they use Starbucks coffee but it is delicious.
Kid-friendliness: They do have a kids menu and it's a great value! The kids get an entree + 2 sides and a drink. The servings are large!

Our experience here was really great but in the days leading up to the reservation, the restaurant was impossible to get in touch with. We called multiple times each day during open hours, the menu online was almost impossible to access as well due to website links being broken, and I wasn’t able to even edit my reservation well ahead of time on the apps. Please fix this and answer your phone.

The food was good and the server was attentive, but it took a very long time, going on an hour, for the food to come out.

Regular hotel lobby bar. Decent service. Nothing special.
