I tried this restaurant with one of my friends. We both attended UMD years ago but we never tried the restaurant nearby. It was quiet and nice to dine here during the week. The service was excellent and I really enjoyed my meal. I got the crab dip and I would definitely recommend!

Overall, dining at The Common - College Park Marriott was an excellent experience. The reservation process was easy, the staff friendly and attentive, the food selection was small but large enough to satisfy all seven people in our group, the prices reasonable and the food was very good. The only issues we had was that it took a long time for the food to arrive at the table. We arrived with plenty of time to eat and make it on time to my son's UMGC graduation, which was being held in the Marriott, so it was not an issue for us that the meal took an hour and a half. We assumed that staffing was short that day due to the graduation and that's why the food took so long to arrive at the table. If you have time for a slow and leisurely meal then this place is excellent.

Food was really good and place was hopping. Problem was they were understaffed on a game night. They were working hard and doing their best but it was impossible to get a server’s attention. Hope they check the basketball schedule next time !

A great place to dine before or after going to Xfinity Center - easy in-and-out, free parking, and a pleasant atmosphere with good food. I recently checked out restaurants in the area for my first visit to Xfinity. The Common was not just the top choice, it was the only spot I found for leisurely sit-down dining. My pulled pork sandwich was actively delicious, and the wine list varied. Thanks to our server and the kitchen for a great experience!

Waiter never came back after food was served. The salmon was dry and not enough sauce on the plate. Same for the crab cakes. The steak was good. Broccolini was just about raw. On Mothers’s day- waiter did not take mothers’ orders first. Handed the check to my wife instead of me. Totally clueless about etiquette. Not personable either.

The food was great. The service was slow. We were there due to a meeting of about 350 participants. The servers and kitchen should be quicker as this is a conference center. It was surprising that the service was not quick. The server was pleasant and apologetic so perhaps it was a kitchen issue that evening. Yes, I would eat there again!

We had reservations for 5:45 before a basketball game at 7:00. We did not get seated until 6:00 and food was not served until 6:45. Restaurant was not packed. Server did give us a discount but overall experience was not good compared to other times there.

Servers were nice but very slow. Didn't like being hit with 20% built in gratuity for this. Food should have been served to everyone at once as well instead of two rounds. Restaurant is pricey but everyone in our party enjoyed their food. Recommend for special occasions once or twice a year which in a way is too bad. If service was better and food more reasonably priced, I might come here more often.

Granted it was a busy night but despite a reservation we were seated at a gigantic table for 8 (there were 4 of us), which required yelling across the table. I asked to be seated in one of the empty 4 tops but was told those were "reserved", so we felt like second class citizens from the start. The food is mediocre but there are few options near the UMD campus. Probably better on a quieter night.

The Commons is losing customers every MD game day due to poor service/understaffing. They are the nearest restaurant for MD basketball games and they are NEVER properly staffed for the 2 hours before a home game. They seem surprised every time despite folks booking reservations. We arrived for our reservation 1 hour and 45 minutes before game time for burgers and wings. We waited 20 minutes for someone to come to our table with water. After another 10 minutes our guys went to the bar to get drinks and waited 30 minutes for bottled beer. While they were at the bar our waiter came and we placed our order for 6 items. WE NEVER SAY OUR WAITER AGAIN. After 40 minutes and 2 talks to the manager about getting our food as we had to leave we were told to go ahead and go to the game and don’t worry about paying for the food. Really? We went to the game and bought hotdogs there. Bra issue it is convenient we would go to the Commons before every home game. We now join the dozens of Terps fans who gather to grab a bite before EVERY home game who will NEVER step foot in the Commons ever again.

We were there following a basketball game - Go Terps! There wasn't enough wait staff to handle the surge. Our server was overwhelmed. Once we did get our orders in, the food came out in an appropriate amount of time. It was ok. We were seated immediately but the bar was packed. We'll probably be back again and will try some other dishes. It's an attractive venue.

Poor service is consistent in this restaurant. You would think that they would be prepared on basketball and football game days/weekends. They are always short staffed, and the wait for food and drinks is always way too long.
