Great spot! Feels like an old speakeasy. The wine on tap is interesting! The appetizers are delicious, especially the Devils on a horseback and fried crab bites. I had the scallops and risotto, which were excellent -- the only thing I can criticize is that the risotto was the color of brains or ground beef, so that looked a little weird. But otherwise this is a great spot! Similar to Meat & Potatoes, so if you like that, you'll love the Commoner.
I almost forgot -- the sticky toffee pudding is RIDICULOUSLY GOOD!
