About this restaurant

Innovative
Romantic
Good for special occasions

A place for family and friends to gather and share great food and conversation. The restaurant is elegant but unpretentious, creating a minimalist but convivial environment. Seating options are the main dining room, with its view to the buzz of the open kitchen; the upstairs Chef's Library, featuring Ehren’s extensive collection of cookbooks; or the four-seat “Kitchen Pass” with its intimate perspective on meal preparation (note Kitchen pass reservations are only by phone or email, and 48 hours notice is required for specific dietary requirements) The food is contemporary and reflects Ehren and Nadine's international experience, training and dedication to the craft of cooking: seasonal flavors, locally foraged produce and fresh ingredients made with exceptional care and resulting in cosmopolitan dishes.

Food was good. Appetizers were great. On the advice of the waiter we ordered 3 and ordered the lamb for 2. The entre was way too much meat especially after ordering 3 apps. Little else besides meat. Normal portion of the yogurt sauce, normal bread ( costs a $1 more for additional bread which seems like nickel and dime compared to the price of the meal). We took home left overs but will end up throwing lamb out. There was really a lack of vegetable dishes or sides. Overall we wish they had more choices in sides and veggies & better proportions but the food was tasty.

The food was very good. My wife and I shared the marketprice fish. was covered with a plethora of sauce. Literally it felt that I was eating sauce with my fish. We probable left over half the fish. The appetizers were excellent.

Everything about Common Lot significantly exceeded our expectations. The starters, main course and desert were perfectly prepared and very tasty. The head waiter was knowledgeable and pleasant to talk to. We will definitely go to the Common Lot again.

Overall a good place, but I would not recommend Lunch. They only offer Tapas which as mostly small plates. I think they could have offered better lunch items. The lunch items we did order were very good.

Careful attention to crucial details. How do they get ALL the bones out of a trout fillet? Amazing.

I would definitely recommend Common Lot based on our previous experiences, however, we ordered the Ribeye Steak sharing platter this time and unfortunately, it was pretty tough. Not something you would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. The green beans that accompanied the dish were not cooked quite enough although I appreciate this is a matter of taste. The starters were very good though.
