    There was an Open Table glitch when we booked so “there wasn’t a high-to bar table” available (only have 4 tables and we were #5) but they sat us at a table by the wall. They called to confirm our reservation so they could have told me this when they called. The appetizers came out promptly and were very good. There was a long wait for our dinners but we weren’t in a huge rush. The dinner was also very good. Would recommend Common.

    We had the short rib and tempeh. Both were amazing, but the short rib was served upon some of the sweetest, most flavorful corn bread I’ve ever had, and I love cornbread. We really enjoyed our meal.

    My rating would have been 4 stars had the menu included a few choices of salad plates. Oysters are fine but a bit of green would have been a good accompaniment to the entrees.

    We ended up choosing a table outside because the noise level was more than we wanted. You can’t get away from street noise but the people watching is always interesting. The food was amazing. The scallops with risotto was perfect! Brittany, our server was spot on. Will be back soon

    Had a really nice meal at Common.  Enjoyed the ghost pepper and mezcal oysters and the tuna tartare. The bruschetta was not that good. The bread was stale, should be grilled. One of us had the scallop risotto, which was excellent, and another had the salmon dish which was perfectly cooked and delicious although the sauce was too sweet for our tastes and too much of it so would order on the side or less. We tried the roasted plantains and vanilla ice cream for dessert, which was great. Excellent service from our waitress! We would definitely return.

    If you have not been for “aperitif” / happy hour, go! This place is typically so loud beyond comfort level for me IMO, but it was calm & quiet. Food was outstanding & service was awesome!! We had oysters, cheese & bread board, & the buffalo cauliflower pimento cheese sliders. Drinks were yummy, All the food was incredible & price couldn’t be beat!

    Chicken and biscuits included only one small piece of chicken. Shrimp and grits weren’t the greatest, not very flavorful even with the chorizo. Ran out of Oat milk by 10:30 and they don’t carry any tea. Service was great and the restaurant was beautiful. But unfortunately the food wasn’t the best start to the day for us.

    The food was fantastic and we really enjoyed our cocktails as well. However, my husband and I watched multiple parties be seated after us and leave before us. Our waiter came to the table very sparingly. We sat down and ordered our drinks, appetizer and meal all at the first visit to our table. Our appetizer came to the table 1 hour after we sat down. By the time we paid the check it had been 2 full hours of mostly waiting for our food/drinks.

    Made a reservation about a week in advance. We were meeting friends who were driving from Florida and they were running about 15 minutes late. We were not allowed to sit down at our table without the other guests, so we had to stand outside. Really only is unfortunate for the waitress and bottom line, because we would have ordered drinks and tipped accordingly. It was also our anniversary. On top of that, it took about a a half hour to get our first round of drinks... If only we sat earlier! Food was okay. My husband loved his scallop and farro meal. I got the mussels which were underwhelming, and some of them weren’t open. Not the first place I’d recommend when visiting a vibrant culinary scene like Savannah.

    We have been her numerous times in the past and were excited to spend date night here. First off the service was very slow. The table next to us was a large group and seemed to gravitate our waiters undivided attention (probably because of the group gratuity rate). I understand it was a Saturday night but over all service was subpar. The food was disappointing. Lacked flavor and was nothing to write home about. The drinks and appetizer on the other hand…AMAZING. Definitely enjoyed that part but again the food and service was something that would deter me to ever return.
