AMAZING Bloody Marys! Vibes are 10/10

Clara Sund

Vibes are immaculate and they’re LGBTQ+ affirming. Food was great, the crab rangoon dip and Tropical Vacay burger are definitely worth going back for. Cocktails were hit or miss. The raspberry french 75 was delicious and not too sweet, however the espresso martini was disappointing. it tasted like vodka with a whisper of espresso – the La Croix version of an espresso martini if you will. Still, a great dining experience and the service was wonderful too.

Good food, but NEVER come here on a busy night. Worst ratio of bathrooms to seating EVER. Two toilets in the whole place. You will wait a hour to use the bathroom on a busy evening. RIDICULOUS!

This place has excellent food. This was my first visit, and I will be back. Ordered the fish and chips, and it was one of the best I have ever had (the chips would have be better, if they were hand-cut). My wife ordered the hot chicken sandwich, and it was outstanding. The service could improve, if they had more staff and seating. The atmosphere was a fun 70s interior. We will be back!

Great Bloody Mary, yummy caprese bruschetta, awesome music, and Courage the Cowardly Dog playing on the TV behind the bar. My kind of place 👌

A fantastic hidden gem! The atmosphere was unique and authentic, the food was amazing (highly recommend the wings), and the service was top notch. The place is a little hidden but totally worth it - you won't be disappointed.

We went to The Commons for the first time last night. We had a great experience start to finish!! The vibe was great, the staff were amazing and the food was delicious. A special shout out to the waiter and kitchen staff who accommodated my dietary restrictions with so much care. Not only did the waiter make note and was very knowledgeable about the food I could safely eat, but a member of the kitchen came out and talked through ingredients and modifications with me. This alone will keep us coming back. Thanks for a wonderful experience!!

I really want to like this restaurant, but I did not feel welcome on my first visit.

My party of 3 were sat at a table and waited about 15-20 minutes to meet our wait person. The restaurant was not super busy at the time. Unfortunately the front counter and wait person were very cold. This made me very comfortable as I felt like I was an inconvenience dining here. The redeeming factor is the brunch wet burrito was absolutely phenomenal!

I will be happy to update my review when I give The Commons a second chance.
