Incredible experience! The flavors of each dish were impeccable. The cocktails were divine as well. The spicy crab on their appetizer menu was our favorite. Although, we did not have anything leftover from any of the dishes we ordered, as it was all so magnificent. The atmosphere is also wonderful. It was a delightful experience and we will definitely be back in the future

Disappointing.
I made reservations for Christmas Eve. The Commoner advertised a Mystery After Dark, a culinary whodunit, and we still don’t know whodunit.
Why did we choose The Commoner? For the advertised mystery after dark. We have eaten at the Commoner before, but this time, we were very disappointed. The experience is advertised as a prix fixe menu where you try to solve a table top mystery game over multiple courses… well, we were not offered the experience nor did our server have any idea what we were asking about.
So our expected $54 dollar prix fixe menu with multiple courses turned into us choosing the Bass, and the Maitake. The Maitake was very flavorful, and worth the price. The bass on the other hand wasn’t worth $20 let alone the $42… the fish was dry, extremely small, and the sweet potato wedge that came with it was raw, hard as a rock.
The service. Horrible. The hostess took 10 minutes to arrive to seat us. Seats us right next to a group when there was maybe 4 other tables seated?? I should have spoke up and asked to be seated elsewhere. Our waiter, distracted, hyperactive, and inattentive. It’s hard to believe when there was seriously only 5 tables for them to serve. I asked for a dessert menu as soon as our meal came. The menu was delivered after we were finished eating, it took him so long to get back to us we changed our mind and decided not to eat dessert. We were so disgusted by the experience especially when we were under the impression a dessert would come with the prix fixe meal.
The only thing the restaurant had going for it was the atmosphere. Moody and dark lighting was inviting and enchanting.
Overall I would not return and I cannot recommend the commoner to anyone. The price was exceptionally high for the taste, proportions, and menu variety. I also cannot express my frustration and disappointment enough walking in with expectations to experience a table game and a pre set menu with price.
The Commoner has compelling competition downtown that I would recommend. Don’t waste your time being disappointed. The Commoner does not have my recommendation.

Been here twice now, and loved it every time. Enticing rustic aesthetic, and excellent food an service. Online menu was a little misleading, but still an overall enjoyable dining experience.
Side Note: Side door’s usually closed. You’ll need to enter by the hotel entrance and to the left.

Was really waiting to eat here because heard was a great restaurants, I was not impressed, seems too price for the food they serve and have a extremely limited dinner menu. The food was ok, not great, so the price seemed too high because of the quality of the food and the very limited options.
The beet salad was absolutely disgusting they put berries and beets , seemed a very confused salad.
Adjust my review as we went for brunch, and it was great! Everything we had was super good

The beef tartare comes with crushed pistachios, adding a delightful crunch, and is served with toasted brioche. Excellent filet mignon with mushroom XO sauce. The bartenders were excellent — friendly and attentive. The Opinel No 9 steak knife was a nice touch.

I’ve been eating here for over 10 years, first when I was living in Pittsburgh and now when I’m in Pittsburgh for work. It hasn’t declined at all in a decade, in fact the food has continued to get better. Service is always great and everyone is welcoming.

We were staying at the hotel so we wanted to come
here for brunch since we only got drinks the night before. Very nice restaurant and our waitress was so kind. I love eggs benedict so I was thrilled that they had it and I went out of my comfort zone to try the berry bowl (i’m not a fan of quinoa) and that was probably one of my faves. My boyfriend was torn between the french toast and chicken & waffles but ended up with french toast. French toast literally didn’t even need extra syrup it was just that moist. We saw so much we wanted to try but that just means we have to come back!

We had an amazing experience here. Stopped in for the first time to try the mystery after dark prix fixe event menu and were incredibly impressed with the quality of everything. We had great, attentive service and each course of the menu was amazing. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the stuffed kale, citrus sauce and candied celery puree went with it perfectly. The steak with the mushroom sauce may have been even better which is really saying something. We were just as happy with the service and will definitely come back.

Good breakfast spot. Lively and friendly staff. Food was hot and fresh. Service could be more attentive. Salad was crispy and flavorful, fruit and yogurt was on point. I let with ham was filling and great. Would return again. I don’t usually love restaurants that are part of a hotel lobby but this seemed separate.
