    The entire experience was exceptional, from the drinks, the food, the service, to the atmosphere. Lovely place. It made our holiday. This was a second time for the Thanksgiving Special and again they outdid themselves. It is traditional, but so differently crafted, so wonderful! Thank you for a great time! 😊

    The Commoner had great food for brunch. We enjoyed the hash, French toast and malted waffle. The staff was outstanding and helped us celebrate our son’s birthday with a special sign at the table and a candle in a birthday waffle. Thank you for a terrific celebration.

    Noise level when they first opened was great but as it got busy we noticed that it was a bit louder. Wanted a tequila sunrise but they didn’t have any grenadine so got a cider instead. It was fine but it was a bit expensive for a bottled cider. Food was great . We enjoyed the fried potatoes appetizer & the Berry salad was fabulous. My husband got the pork belly with Brussel sprout slaw and it was very good.

    The commoner serves delicious food and has a great atmosphere. The downside is though that given the current state of affairs, it feels a bit overpriced. For example, the menu online described the shishito appetizer as including barrata but in restaurant, it was just grilled shishito peppers and spicy mayo.

    Went for dinner before a show at the Benedum and everything was great. Food was awesome as was the service. Nice of the manager to stop at table and ask about our meals. We were running late due to an accident on Rte 28 so we called and they were very accommodating. Highly recommended the Commoner

    Popped in for lunch on Friday. No problem getting a table, this being a WFH day for most of the downtown crowd. Food was pretty good. Service was fine. Enjoyed my lunch and when the waitress asked me if a I wanted anything else, I asked to see the dessert menu, to which she responded they do not have desserts. I stared at her blankly, not comprehending. After a long, awkward pause she ended the conversation with “sorry”. I shook my head in disbelief. How can an upscale lunch place catering not only to visitors but the downtown lunch crowd not have desserts. It is utterly incomprehensible and shows a distinct lack of judgment by whomever out the menu together. Don’t say COVID, we are passed that as an excuse. If you cannot make your own desserts, you can easily contract with a local bakery for them. It’s not hard. I hope an otherwise decent place can get its act together on this essential part of a menu. Until it does, I won’t be back (I’m sure that will convince management to mend its ways).

    I have been to The Commoner before for brunch and it was fantastic, so naturally had to come back for dinner. Our server, George, was a fantastic server- provided great service, in no way rushed us, and gave great recommendations. Our entrees were the salmon and half chicken and both were excellent choices. Highly recommend!

    So glad we ate here - don’t often choose our hotel’s restaurant for dinner. My husband said it was the best burger he’s had in while. Fries were fantastic. Best salad was good, but not your typical, no greens. Yellowtail was delicious, citrusy. Focaccia, just get it!
