Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Switzer

We recently dined at The Commoner and had an excellent experience. Our server, Scott, was outstanding. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure all our needs were met promptly. The food was delicious, and Scott's recommendations were spot on. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a great meal. Overall, the service at The Commoner, especially from Scott, was top-notch, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Also, the potatoes as an appetizer may have been the best thing I’ve tasted in my 26 years of living.

The food (Caesar salads and Beef Wellington) was delicious. Great cocktails and wine. The server was very good and treated us well, which we appreciated, but she was also very busy and so didn’t have time to check in very often. We enjoyed our experience and would definitely recommend Meat and Potatoes.

First let me start by saying we have had consistently good experiences at this restaurant. David provided excellent service for Valentine’s Dinner. The cocktail that was chocolate and strawberry flavored should be kept on the regular menu! I had short ribs and my husband had seafood risotto and both were top notch! I ordered bread pudding and my husband had the tiramisu and once again top notch! I have one complaint around the buffalo mozzarella caprese…not sure it was Buffalo cheese as the texture on Buffalo is spongier but the most important issue was the 5 small baby tomatoes that were overripe. A good caprese has a solid slice of tomato to match the mozzarella slice. Also, a balsamic drizzle adds the final perfect touch and that was missing too. I definitely would not order that again. It was almost the perfect dinner!

Always an excellent experience with excellent service. We shared the beet salad and I can't believe that I thought that it needed more arugula (not a super fan of arugula) but there was generous portions of the cheese and the delicious candied walnuts. I had the filet which was great with ample portions. My partner had the crab cakes which were above average (but we are crab cake snobs as my family was from the Eastern Shore of MD (home of the blue crab) as we prefer them broiled rather than fried. The Black Manhattan was tasty but I have to remember to order it straight up because it came on a pile of ice which I had to dig out. It was a Valentine's Day celebration and a nice night.

Service was fast, friendly and attentive. Fried green tomatoes, salmon and surf n turf were all fantastic. Manager stopped by and chatted with us, hostess was friendly and the server brought his A game. Only “faults” is that it was very loud at times due to the tightness of the tables.
