The Commonwealth

We stopped here while gravel biking on ironhrse trail. 3 miles ish uphill from Snoqualmie tunnel/ ironhorse trail.
We visitec weekday, late October.
High ceiling, wood bar counter, and tables with a cozy atmosphere.
Service is good and variety of tasty food.
I had grilled cheese and tomato soup. I prefer bread that is a little bit more toasted, but the taste was good.

Chic upscale atmosphere and crowd, given the location.

But of the 4 meals my group ordered, I wasn't impressed by any of them. Prime dip bread was bland blah (though plenty of meat.

Big pretzel was ho hum.

Cajun seasoned wings weren't nearly as good as 3 lower brow joints I get them at in Yakima.

It's a neat place to meet.
Service is very good.
But don't expect a particularly tasty experience

Our server was friendly and helpful. Our food tasted awesome, I had the bison beef chili and a salad. My husband had the pork street tacos. We have a place in CleElum and Enumclaw, so we pass by often. This was our 1st visit, and we will stop by mire often.

We come here every other month for a girls weekend trip, and even when we have no room for food weale time to come. It's such a laid back atmosphere, delicious food, and the staff is so kind and welcoming ❤️ Nathan is so understanding, we always are a mess and can't decide and he's so darn patient we adored him!

If you enjoy what some might call “white people food,” this restaurant might be your spot. It’s also a decent choice for families with picky kids.

Our table of six ordered coconut shrimp, cheese curds, crispy chicken sandwiches, a BBQ pork sandwich, mac and cheese, and a cookie sundae for dessert, and honestly, we were pretty let down by most of it.

The coconut shrimp was the highlight; it didn’t need the garlic aioli since the sweet chili sauce worked just fine.

The crispy chicken sandwich was said to be brined in pickle juice, but none of us could taste it. It definitely needs something more—maybe a drizzle of buffalo sauce and blue cheese, or some sweet pickles.

As for the BBQ pork sandwich, it was a letdown. The pork had an almost acidic flavor that was way off, and it lacked any sweetness. A bit more barbecue sauce would help, and the bland coleslaw didn’t do it any favors either. A touch of brown sugar on that meat wouldn’t hurt.

The mac and cheese was just plain dull. It could have really used a sharper cheese, or honestly, even Velveeta. A little salt and pepper would have gone a long way in cutting through the blandness.

The cookie sundae came out warm, but the cookie itself felt old and wasn’t soft at all. Serving it in a bowl instead of a skillet only highlighted its low quality.

Overall, the food felt underwhelming and didn’t match the price point, which was disappointing.

Great food & great customer service!

LOVE this place, can't wait to come back! The burger and bbq pulled pork sandwiches were absolutely excellent, and the homemade chips were amazing. Great draft beer selection rotating a bunch of different types (rotating porter!). Very good service and stunning views outside. Perfect place to head after a hike!!

Kid-friendliness: There's a kids' menu and plenty of space for strollers.
