    I made a reservation for a quiet table and was sat at a high top by the door with the ambiance of a Tim Hortons. The place is tiny (that is unless they never let us get past the waiting area at the bar, which is ridiculous considering I made an that is unless they never let us get past the waiting area at the bar, which is ridiculous considering I made a reservation) and definitely not worth it. The server was friendly, but would disappear for 15 minutes at a time. It’s a good thing. I was not interested in my date and we left after one drink. I would not have ordered food sitting where we were (not for the price is on their menu… I’m willing to pay for quality food. That’s not the issue but when the ambiance doesn’t match the menu price it’s not worth it). I’m not sure why I bothered to make a reservation to begin with. I could’ve had this table walking up. I won’t be back.

    The atmosphere is cozy but still feels a little upscale — perfect for a nice night out without being too formal. The staff are super friendly. The food is good — you can tell they use quality ingredients and put a lot of care into every dish. If you’re looking for a place with great food, great service, and a relaxed but classy vibe unless there's a wedding or noisy table happening that night (bad luck), definitely check it out.
    The CommonResponded on May 1, 2025

    I recently visited The Common, and it was an amazing experience! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. I especially loved the Brisket and risotto —it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience!

    Great meal with quality food and service. The only downside was that we noted on OpenTable that we were celebrating something, but were placed at a high-top, which felt casual. Maybe they didn’t have anything else available or just not amazing for special occasions. Would recommend for any other time!
    The CommonResponded on March 11, 2025
    Hi Miranda! Thanks for leaving a review- sorry about your table placement! We are always happy to adjust if you note that a lower table is preferred. Just let us know :)

    Good value, excellent service and a cool vibe. The local beer selection is fantastic, our server and the other team members were super friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend checking The Common out for drinks, or appetizers or for a good meal at a great price.
