The Commoner is a great addition to downtown's restaurant / bar scene. I suggest you make reservations as its popularity has not waned. I've been there for brunch twice and found both the service, food and drinks to be top notch. The Chorizo Mesi is a great and dish I highly recommend trying it if you are there for brunch. Also cool is the fact that they offer three different types / flavors of tonic (for G&T's) which is a 1st for me in Pittsburgh.
