"Not too shabby! The Common is a new spot that recently opened up in UCity. Nice to see this part of town is turning up with options other than chain restaurants. It 's located right on Market St. near most of the universities and nearby free street parking was plentiful for my 8 o 'clock dinner reservation. Walking in, it 's pretty big with an open concept main dining space lined by small tables on the perimeter and larger tables in the middle. There 's also a a second floor loft space to boot. I can see it as a chill happy hour/dinner spot. For dinner the menu is a fusion of New American and elevated bar food. There 's something for everyone essentially and I think that 's the idea they 're going for a melting pot of dishes inspired by different cultures the place thereby becomes the common denominator amongst its patrons. I ordered their eggplant dish served on a bed of turmeric rice! The flavor profile on the rice was great! The eggplant was a little too chewy for my liking and the treatment of it left a metallic taste in my mouth. Overall the service was great. Our water glasses were refilled plenty and we were checked in on plenty of times. Wouldn 't mind coming back here but hoping they put more vegetarian friendly meals on the menu. I will say the menu looked seasonal so holding out hope, it wasn 't bad price wise either (around $30 for dinner and 1 drink with tip included. Check it out!"
