I have no idea why it took so long to try this restaurant but it was worth the wait. Our waitress, Meaghan, was so friendly I wanted to invite her to join us lol. We split 3 appetizers and one entree and to say it was all amazing is an understatement. Our favorite was the lobster spring rolls. The lobster was cooked perfectly, and there was just enough bite to it.Now I don’t know what the normal crowd brings but this particular evening we were there brought a majority of older clientele who were all dressed very nicely. Although we are still in our 40s, I really appreciated the well dressed crowd that was dining.The entire staff was smiling and friendly which says a lot about a place.Can’t wait to go back!

This is a great facility with classical ambiance. Perfect to grab a casual dinner before the theater. Great had the French onion soup, it tasted good, but was not hot and clearly pre-prepared. For main course I had the Santa Fe salad with blackened chicken. It was pretty good. The chicken was freshly prepared and cooked tasted good. Overall a good experience. Not overpriced and pretty good food.

The bread rolls were delicious and they would get the five star rating for those alone. However, that being said, I like how professional the service was as well. They were also accommodating as they were able to make an adult order of the chicken strips for my daughter that's not actually on the menu. I thought that was really nice. Not to mention the chicken strips are delicious, seasoned perfectly and very tender, I'm getting them next time as well. They should add to the adult menu, I'm sure they would get a lot of takers! My husband had the beef medallions with mashed potatoes and carrots. He loved it! The chicken club was pretty good as well although not as good as the chicken tenders, the chicken wasn't as tender but still over all decent for what it was. We also really loved the fries, fresh shoestring fries, they really do make excellent French fries, not greasy at all. The restaurant was also really clean which is always important. Overall, I'll definitely be back soon! Thank you for a most pleasant dining experience!

Had the Christmas Eve day brunch. Six adults with gratuity $450 plus drinks. Food was not worth the price. No fresh carving station, just slices of ham and prime rib on self serve plates. Many items dry, overcooked and cold. Food stations needed more constant attention to cleanliness and food temperature. No side plates provided at the table for cutlery. Had to ask for salt and pepper. Will not return. The website looked like you could order off the tradional menu when the only offering was the $65 per person brunch. Please at this price point do much better and make your holiday website alot clearer. Will not ever return.

This is the first time I've been here since they've been under new management. The service was wonderful. I don't recommend, but I did it, I walked in on my cell phone and sat at the bar. The staff brought the menu with a smile and allowed me some privacy to finish but was attentive to know I wanted to order before I finished my conversation. Ride of me but they were phenomenal! Everything came out in a very timely fashion allowing me time to eat my salad. Or at least as much as I wanted. The meal was so good. Salad, fish, and veg. I have no complaints. The restaurant itself is well lit, the decorations are not overbearing and the atmosphere inviting. I'm so lad I was able to give them another try! It's still a wonderful place to dine.

Exceptional dining experience with amazing service!My wife and I are new to the area and went out to the Common Grill for a life celebration. We started off with the baked brie and it was so flavorful! We got the house salad with the dinner rolls before our entrees. The rolls were life changing! We had to get a second basket...For entrees she ordered the shrimp and lobster pasta and I went with the bolognese. We both thought the pasta was homemade it was that good! Our waiter told us that they source their noodles locally - nonetheless the dishes were amazing. You have to finish your meal with the creme brulee and the salted caramel ice cream because they are to die for!!!We will definitely be back and recommend.

Food was overpriced and bland. It was a dull and uninteresting environment. Parking was almost non existant.
They never disappoint . I hadn't been there in a few years and our food was really tasty.

Very nice place! Lovely ambiance, and the food was very good. I do wish they had a bit more vegetarian options for entrees but they do have 2. My grandfather always said you can tell a lot about a restaurant by it's bread, an adage that I feel has always held true, and they have especially delicious bread.While I do wish they would put in a vegetarian salad entree, and maybe me able to sub in tempeh for some of the dishes with meat, they had pasta primavera and a mushroom dish for the veggies. I could be wrong but they might both be vegan too? I opted for the mushroom dish, which was quite good even though I'm usually not a big mushroom person. People who like balsamic reduction type stuff will likely like that. I also got a side of white cheddar mashed potatoes which was delicious. The pear blue cheese vinaigrette side salad was also very tasty.Good restaurant for a fancy meal out, like a birthday or anniversary.Vegetarian options: There was a couple vegetarian appetizers, and vegetarian entrees: pasta primavera and portobello orzo dish.
