| - Our dinners last night, Shepard's pie and the Commoners version of paella, were excellent. Service was fine and the room is attractive, but loud in a satisfactory, energetic way. The low rating of only 3* reflects the devious, unacceptable wine offerings - basically, just a handful of choices at astronomical prices. For example, a Hess Chardonnay, a decent $10 to $12 bottle, is $14 per glass. That's pretty high, but not outrageous until you discover it's a 5 ounce glass, not the standard 6 ounce pour you get everywhere else. At that price a 6 ounce glass would be almost $17, a bottle $70. Ouch! The 5 ounce trick is revealed by their pricing of bottles at 5 times the glass price, while everyone else sells bottles for 4 times the glass. So, if you like the food, bring your own wine and pay the $15 corkage fee like we did.
