Common Ground Bar and Eatery - Sylvan Park

Great service and good. Tables were very close together so a little louder than I'd hope, but still great experience.

Such an adorable place decorate adorably for the holiday. Fantastic location, easy parking, delicious food and excellent service. A must try.

The nutcracker theme was so adorable and the food was perfect. We tried the focaccia, steak, and pasta and would go back again to re-order them. Service was perfect and we'll be back!

Unfortunately had a poor experience here. Food was not very good and a piece of plastic was in my meal. Staff was very apologetic but I don't know if I'd go back.

The food was outstanding! The tri tip steak and salmon delicious. So was the peppermint chocolate mousse. The restaurant was quiet for a Friday and parking was easy. The reservation required modification and that process was also easy. Service was okay. The holiday Nutcracker decor was sweet and festive.

We went to the Nutcracker pop-up; everything is nicely decorated, although I wish the Nutcracker lights were lit. The flamingo shirt was a delicious drink. Nutcracker Punch cocktail with rum is OK but, very chai tasting. . My husband enjoyed his chocolate old-fashioned drink. They do have a happy hour Monday through Friday 3 to 6 PM. Excellent service
The shrimp taco was absolutely amazing whatever seasoning it had had a little bit of a kick, but so flavorful! I've been craving it ever since! The happy hour potatoes were very crispy salty and delicious! I loved all the little nutcrackers on the table! We were told a new one comes out every year from the ballet. We loved the bear and wish they had had them for sale which they did reach out and find out you can only get them by going to the ballet, but they hope to have them in the future for sale. We will be back the next time we are in the area.

I can’t say enough great things about hosting an event at Common Ground in Sylvan Park. I needed to pull together a last-minute happy hour for my team after other plans fell through, and within just a few hours of submitting an online request, Matt reached out and assured me he’d take care of us. He rearranged things to meet our needs, helped curate a stand-up-friendly appetizer menu, and was incredibly proactive about anticipating anything else we might need.

When we arrived, our space was fully set up with appetizers ready, and both the food and staff were fantastic. Their Christmas pop-up décor was an unexpected bonus - plentiful, festive, and perfect for team photos.

The detail that really impressed me, though, was something I’d only mentioned in passing: that I’d probably hand out drink tickets to keep things responsible. Matt actually created and printed drink tickets ahead of time without me ever formally asking.

We had a wonderful experience…I’ll absolutely be back with my family during the holidays and will happily host another event here. Highly recommend!

Great vibe and drinks. Food is average

It was delicious. The server was nicely attentive but gave us space to talk. Will do this again.

Our experience started off wonderful with a surprise that we were still in time for happy hour. Our waitress was wonderful and made sure that we understood everything on and off the menu. Drinks and food were fabulous and the ambience of the restaurant was very nice for talking. We are going to add this restaurant to our my flea rotation.

Loved every detail. Food and cocktails on point. Owner Wes and Megan who gave us the best service - FANTASTIC. Bunch of adults met here for the kick-off to a weekend - we stayed for hours, made our way through the cocktail list - never rushed. Loved every moment.

My boyfriend and I went to Common Ground last night (Friday), and while it was unusually quiet for a weekend, the staff immediately made us feel welcomed. We were seated right away, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. Our waitress (whose name I wish I’d gotten) was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us.

I ordered the Steak and Potatoes, and it did not disappoint! The portion size was just right, the flavor was incredible, and I actually cleaned my plate (which is rare for me).

The entire experience felt personal and thoughtfully tailored to us. I can’t recommend this place enough. We’ll definitely be back!
