8.8 Highly Recommended

Food  7      Ambience  9      Service  10      Value  9     


I ate at Commons last night with my partner. I wasn't expecting much from past reviews but it was close to a bar I wanted to have cocktails at (Pocket Bar) so I thought I'd give it a try.

Some of the food was pretty delicious. We started with a plate of cured meats (how could you go wrong) served with bread. Great selection and not too salty. The salami had a little bite to it. I would have liked to see some olives or something else on the board though.

I had the lamb and my partner had the chicken parma. Both servings were quite big, we were stuffed. The lamb was bar far the better dish, delicious but the chicken parma was good too, made with read cherry tomatoes and served with salad not chips.

The service was really friendly and attentive. Our waiter even comped our dessert. Speaking of get the donuts they're yummy! My only gripe is they could have a better wine selection. Although the wine was reasonably priced everything was very tart and try. Maybe something lighter and more fruity would be a good addition, especially in the reisling section.

I recommend this place. Duck down to Pocket after for a cocktail, the watermelon martini is amazing.
