    The chicken literally melted in our mouth! Even something as simple as 'Nachos' were served with tangy onions, totally different from usual. The ambience, specially their wall with mirrors and artwork sets an opulent tone.

    My first time at The Common. Atmosphere and decor were nice. However, it was a tad loud due to a few larger gatherings in the main space. My only other comment, the gravy was quite salty in my poutine. It seems they salted the fries and added the gravy. Was a little overpowering salt wise. Great server and good food otherwise 🤗

    Food is nothing to write home about. Ordered the steak frites rare, showed up medium - guessing the cooks have little experience… for being the most expensive dish on the menu you’d also think that you wouldn’t receive the bottom of the basket fries but here we are - with a side of lumpy gravy to boot. Chicken burger was good however, so stick to the traditional pub food if going. They were also out of key ingredients for cocktails , which was a bit of a surprise on a Friday night at 7pm. Servers were friendly enough - just short staffed it seemed, so we received very little attention. Cherry on top was dirty cups, but happens to best I’m sure. In summary, it is okay. Best thing going is fair pricing on premium liquor. Enjoy the pub atmosphere - just don’t expect anything beyond mediocre and you should be fine. Many better choices available IMO.

    Hi Bryan, thanks for taking the time to give us your honest review. I'm sorry to hear about your most recent experience. I'll be sure to pass on all of this information to our staff, and do hope that you give us another shot sometime soon.

    Amazing food! Brisket burger was flavourful and juicy, the side salad was actually my favourite! A light salad with fantastic flavour. Our server was great as well! My first time here but will definitely come more often after trying it once!
    The CommonResponded on January 3, 2025
    Hi Lea! Our Brisket Burger is one of our favourites as well- glad you enjoyed it and had a great stay :)
