   We have been going to Commoner for years and loved it. We have favorite servers ( David and Alex). We have noticed small changes recently and have not particularly liked them. Drinks are smaller but same price. Quality of buns on sandwiches has gone down. And the chicken sandwich has changed a lot, and not in a good way. The mussels are now accompanied with somewhat stale tasting pieces of bread rather than the fries that were always included. I know things change with time and new people, but hopefully for the better….

   We had looked carefully for a restaurant that could accommodate one mobility impaired person and one with food allergies. The menu listed made to order steak, pasta, and other items that looked like they could work. I don't know if our waiter was incompetent or just indifferent but he initially balked at asking the chef for a recommendation and then told us the only thing he could offer was a salad with no dressing. Ultimately my kid asked for buttered pasta which he grudgingly said she could have. She was served plain pasta. The rest of the food was adequate with overly garlicky risotto and barely seasoned everything else. Drinks weren't served until we asked a second server for them. Actually, all of the staff other than our server seemed responsive and helpful but our server barely showed up and seemed more interested in telling the host how to do her job than in doing his at all. Needless to say, we were disappointed. We think with a different server we would have had a better experience. Or maybe he just needs some training in customer care.

   Not good meals. Risotto was dry and clearly prepared well beforehand. Salmon was cooked poorly. Tres leches panacotta was awful gummy and tasteless. Pulled roght out of fridge, likely at least one day old, if not more. Yuck.

   A very nice upscale local eatery. Highly recommend. Homemade pasta was excellent and so was meatloaf. But the star of the meal was their dirty martini, which was made with pickle juice. Incredible. If you love dirty martinis, you have to try theirs. Can't wait to come here again the next time we are in town.

   My husband’s favorite (meatloaf) was still on the menu, but the menu had shrunk! It was his birthday so he ordered the steak instead—he loved it! My salmon was good. I would have liked more choices, though. The service was outstanding, but servers don’t decide the menu offerings. I told the server it was my husband’s birthday, so he was able to pick a dessert. Not many choices there , either. He chose a piece of olive oil cake which was $8 on the menu and was small (single layer, maybe 3” by 3”) with a candle. Fortunately it was comped. I don’t know if this was the regular serving or the birthday size, but it was delicious!

   The happy hour food was tasty. Especially the kale caesar and artichoke + spinach dip. My partner enjoyed his chicken sandwich. Cocktails were good but you should request the bourbon trail "up" instead of "on the rocks" as they served it. The local libation on the rocks was excellent.

    Excellent food with very generous portions. Service was very good with pleasant and attentive servers. The seats are not super comfortable and the layout of the room does not separate the main dining area from the bar very well, so it is loud. Regardless, we will go back. It was a lovely evening and an excellent meal.
