I have been to communal many times and have really enjoyed the food. It’s typically very refined and yummy. I took my husband for the first time, and I have to say that the food fell completely flat. We ordered the Pork Belly Adobo, the house pasta, and the Funeral Potato Rossi. The pork belly was alright, nothing special just pork with pickled cabbage. The house pasta was lack luster, no flavor whatsoever. The Funeral Potato Rossi was good in the sense that it tasted like a McDonald hash brown but for triple the price. Where has the flavor gone? In the past I would have recommend Communal to anyone but not this current menu. I hope it changes soon.

What an amazing little gem! Everything from the ambiance of the open air kitchen, to the service is wonderful. The food is delectable! Everything we ordered was exceptional and crafted with care. Will definitely be back the next time we are in town. Sage was a wonderful server!

I had a reservation through yelp. When my husband and I arrived, we walked through the doors on university, no servers or employees were in sight. Walked through the entire restaurant to the back entrance, still no employees in sight. Decided to sit in the waiting area. Then servers started coming back and forth between the cleaning area. We sat there for 10 minutes and did not get a single acknowledgment. In fact it looked like their servers were intentionally not looking at us. We waited a few more minutes then decided to just leave. A restaurant is a service and there was none present in our experience.

The food is great and the service is exceptional but sharing food is just not my thing. If you like to share food with your guests then this is the place for you!

This place was amazing. You sit very close to others and it allowed me and my friend to meet some new cool people. The food and service was amazing!
I am submitting this review in the hopes that this really fabulous restaurant will make a few corrections. This has been my favorite place to eat in Provo for many years but the last two or three years things have taken a downward turn. It’s the service. Multiple times I have brought clients here and the service is poor. No refills on water, servers dropping the bill without asking if anyone wants anything else like dessert or coffee. The servers don’t want to describe menu options and are distracted. I spend the whole meal feeling like a bother. It’s a bad feeling. Today was a final straw for me. I like the food enough to comeback myself but this won’t be on my list anymore as a nice place to bring customers. It is embarrassing. From now on I’ll opt for Sundance, Black Sheep or somewhere in SLC.I’ll hope this changes:(

I asked the chef to surprise me, and he made a delicious Buffalo Burger with French fries.
Our hosts took us here for dinner and we had a great experience. As the name suggests, the restaurant highly encourages sharing your food and sides, but you can always keep your own meal if you're a highly territorial eater. Lots of local and hand-crafted drinks to choose from too.The staff was very friendly and informative about the menu and the specials. We had a large group so ended up sampling a lot of different items. All the food was very good and our general consensus was:- Brussel sprouts were fantastic, personal favorite was the grilled mushroom, most disappointing was the mashed potatoes as they tasted a bit sour. Fried pickles were the most surprising and delicious while the other items (including the goat cheese special) were all excellent.- Salmon was the surprise entree that we all liked, steak was delicious, chicken pot pie was a little small for sharing (but good) and pork shoulder was excellent but with a very strong flavor. Pasta was just OK.We were pretty full and skipped the desserts, so maybe next time. Overall we really enjoyed it and would highly recommend

The food was amazing and our server was excellent. He helped us get the exact amount of food that would fill up our group of 7. We ended up ordering 3 main dishes and 6 sides. My personal favorites were the rib eye and the brussel sprouts. The sweet potatoes were also amazing.The only thing I would note that is a possible negative is it is really loud. We had to yell to have a conversation. Not a place to go if you want a quiet conversation.Parking: There is parking but you just have to walk a bit to the restaurant.
