    We had a wonderful meal at the Commoner. The atmosphere was lovely with good lighting. Out food was delicious. I highly recommend the spicy crab dish. It was incredibly flavorful and great to share. Our server, George, was professional and attentive. We really couldn’t ask for more. We will certainly return our next trip to Pittsburgh

    There is nothing common about The Commoner. Excellent salad, steak filet, and dessert.

    We eat at The Commoner many times throughout the year, and this was the first time dining with their new dinner menu. Wish we could go back in time because the previous menu had things that everyone in our group absolutely loved. Their new 'mains' are very lacking of explanation and our waitress did not do a great job explaining them. Each 'main' is one word and it is difficult to understand how the listed ingredients work. The pork belly is no longer on the menu and neither are a few other things we always ordered. The bartenders were working hard and the drinks are always good.

    Brussels sprouts were a divine starter! Salmon and Bass were cooked to perfection. Old Fashion cocktail was unique with strawberries. Cheesecake custard was served deconstructed in a bowl which was interesting, but delicious nonetheless.

    We absolutely always enjoy brunch at The Commoner. Libby is our server, and we always request her. She always takes perfect care of us; and seems to always know just how much attention to provide us and when to leave us alone, which is no easy server feat! The food almost always comes out perfect (this time the eggs were a little overdone; but no trouble at all because it was Mothers Day!). We always look forward to coming back for brunch!
