  • I stopped by here this past Wednesday night with my wife for her birthday dinner. The first thing that you notice when entering the hotel is a beautiful garden themed chandelier. Once you get past that and start heading toward The Commoner then the noise really starts to pick up and by the time you are downstairs inside the Commoner, as many others have noted, it is quite loud. I would guess that's because it is a huge open space without much to deaden the noise. That's not to say that the decor isn't quite cool though as it is. It has an old school industrial type feel with unstained oak floors, exposed duct work and cool but exposed lighting. As for the layout there is a bar on one side alongside an open kitchen and a ton of seating in the middle and the other side. The open kitchen also has bar like seats facing into it that I would love to sit at some time. My wife and I were actually using an opentable gift certificate here and we correctly guessed that there wouldn't be any change from it. So we went big and for appetizers we ordered the turkey poutine, blue crab fritters and giant Bavarian pretzel. They all came out at the same time and our small 2 top didn't really have the space for it. Even so we made it fit. Out of the three items I think that the turkey poutine was my favorite. It was a wonderful play on Thanksgiving dinner as the fries were sweet potato fries, it came with fresh cranberries and then it also had the turkey and gravy on it. While the fries were a bit soggy by the time that I got to them I thought the flavor of the dish was nice. The blue crab fritters also tasted pretty good and I thought that the breading gave them a hushpuppy like taste. It was the pepper jelly on the side that I really enjoyed though as it gave the fritters a nice sweet heat. Last but not least was the giant Bavarian pretzel which was quite large. It tasted like a good pretzel would and had large granules of salt on it and came with a beer cheese. While the beer cheese was good, the small cup (a few ounces at best) of it was very disproportionate to the size of the pretzel and we quickly ran out of it leaving us to finish most of the pretzel without any. After finishing the appetizers I was getting pretty full but I still had a beef short rib entree coming out next as well as a side of Brussel sprouts and bacon. My entree came with sides of mashed potatoes and sweet and sour cabbage. The short rib here was super tender and when combined with the potatoes reminded me of a pot roast, only with much better flavor. Even though I was struggling to finish my meal because I was so full, the Brussel sprouts with bacon were calling my name because the bacon in it was sliced thicker than most bacon that I have seen. After all of that we still had some money to spend so even though we weren't hungry in the least, we ended up ordering the sticky toffee pudding. It came out nice and warm and tasted good enough that even without being hungry we both devoured it. The bottom line for me is that I would head here again in the future. I enjoyed the decor of the restaurant as well as the food with my only complaint being the general noise of the place.
