I love that we finally have a new hip trendy hotel and restaurant in Pittsburgh. I have been to The Commoner for dinner and also drinks and appetizers. Both experiences were good other than the wait. I went yesterday for brunch and was very disappointed! I had the pierogi and poached eggs. The egg yolks were not poached, they were fully cooked (cooking 101), the pierogis were burnt and the potatoes were hard as if they had sat there all morning. My friend ordered the lamb with poached eggs and they were cooked as well as hard potatoes. I would say if you are going to go, drinks and apps are the way to go.
