The Common just opened in the evenings as a wine bar with a tapas menu. We loved the menu, which is vegetarian friendly and supports multiple visits. Definitely try the tomato tart.

Came here for brunch for the first time and the skillets were delicious. The staff are very nice and attentive and I would 100% return again.
