   Great meal. The green chili soup was fantastic. The pasta was perfect (and spicy). Will be back

   Disappointed and will not be returning. We ordered the linguine and clams and crab risotto and both were underwhelming. Both dishes lacked flavor and the crab dish was described as lump crab and had only one lump of crab with strings of crab mixed into the risotto. Maybe it was an off night for them but I would not recommend.

   It's so nice to have a good spot for a sitdown breakfast on campus - the food was very good - especially the Rosemary potatoes and breakfast sausage - both delicious and high quality. Also, portions are very good so excellent value.

   Restaurant Review: A Wonderful Evening at The Common Ground I recently dined at The Common Ground and had an overall great experience. From the moment we were seated, Rick, our waiter, made the evening truly enjoyable. He was professional, attentive, and had a great balance of friendliness without being intrusive. He was easy to talk to and offered helpful recommendations without being pushy, which added to the relaxed vibe of our meal. I ordered the filet, and it was cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and exactly how I like it. The sides were fresh and complemented the dish beautifully. I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices, especially given the quality of the food. This place definitely offers good value for the money. The only downside was the lighting. For a dinner after sunset, I expected a more dim, intimate ambiance. However, the lighting was quite bright, which took away from the cozy atmosphere I was hoping for. It didn’t ruin the experience, but a softer, warmer light would have made the evening perfect. Overall, I’d recommend The Common Ground for its excellent service (thanks to Rick!) and delicious food. Just be prepared for a bit more brightness than you might expect for an evening meal.

   Enjoyed our experience and our waitress was attentive and helpful when making dinner selections. Highly recommend the vanilla roasted beet salad. I could eat it for dessert!

    The restaurant was empty and for good reason. There were six of people in the restaurant. The food was served cold, the portions were extremely small and had no taste. Ordered the clams with linguine. There were a total of six little neck clams (cold). The since had no taste. Other members of my party ordered baked rigatoni. There portion of pasta was smaller than the pasta with the clam sauce and was also cold. The waitress, while very nice easily confused. Overall this was a poor dining experience. The atmosphere and location are prime so I hope this establishment can correct their issues before they wind up out of business.
