I have been coming here for a few years now and have never had a bad experience. On my last visit I enjoyed the fish and chips, which were prepared well and presented in an appetizing fashion. I do wish the French fries were perhaps a little bit less fried, they seemed slightly over crisp but that may just be a preference. Their happy hour is pretty good, and they always have a nice selection of beers. The room has a fantastic vibe that would suit a romantic date or a “Girls Night” really well. It feels intimate and special, kind of like how The Manor (RIP) used to be. The other food selections are appetizing, and there is a nice variety, from small plates to heavier courses.

The bartender short poured me just a 1 oz when the menu calls for 1.5 oz. I paid $15 and waited for my change while the bartender served another patron. I had to ask for my change back and the the bartender seemed annoyed and gave $2 back. I didn’t bother asking for the 50c but it’s annoying as a customer to get short poured and incorrectly tendered. Would not recommend The Common to others. Rating 2 stars because they have a live DJ. Just don’t expect good service.

Upscale yet down to earth atmosphere, hearty comfort food with a modern twist. read more Upscale yet down to earth atmosphere, hearty comfort food with a modern twist.

We arrived at 11:30 and were basically alone for about 20 minutes, then all of a sudden the place was packed to the rafters!!! Despite it being quite noisy, the service and the food was great! My poutine bowl was a unique tasty experience! They were very willing to modify dishes for our friend who is a keto maniac. I’d do that again!!
