It was our first time going to the Common and we absolutely enjoyed our dinner. We went on a Tuesday so they had their Aperol spritz on special which was great. We ordered the devilled eggs to share, which were delicious. And we each had a different main which was just as delicious. Our server was very knowledgable and accommodating, and checked up on as often. I’m already looking forward to going back.

Service was not great even though we made a reservation they were in a hurry to get us out. So if you are hoping to have a nice paced meal don’t go hear. We had just sat down ordered a drink and the server was asking if we were ready to order. We had just sat down. The group of ladies at the table next to us were screaming and and yelling glad they were having fun because no one else was. The food was amazing though I had the grilled cheese and it was delicious.

Food was excellent, but one of our meals was very delayed getting to the table. After waiting for a few after the other dishes arrived, our server said it would only be a few minutes. It ended up being 10-15 minutes and there was no further comments from the server or anyone else. An explanation of why would have been appreciated.

We got the Fish and chips, the breading was soggy and wet inside and the fish wasn't flavorful, wasn't the best dish. We also got the Crispy chicken sandwich which was very flavorful and very delicious, loved this dish, the chicken breading was very good and not oily and the aioli was a definite win. For drinks we tried the 'good for what ails ya' which had no flavor except the whiskey, very strong. Not a whiskey fan so I cannot properly judge. We also tried the 'club night', not much flavor but nice light foamy drink with a pretty purple, not strong alcohol flavor which was good. The atmosphere was very loud and energetic and warm, lot's of people talking, staff were very friendly and helpful. Unique and creative décor, clean washrooms, and comfortable seating. No parking, you have to walk a bit from pay parking lot's or some street parking so prepare for that.
