   Common Ground was new to us, but we booked based on great patron reviews and were not disappointed. We arrived a couple minutes early for our reservation and were seated immediately. The service was great. The waiter immediately brought glasses and cold water for our table and made sure the water pitcher stayed full. We tried the hummus appetizer and it was unique, because instead of the usual toast points or pita, the crudités were cut vegetables (sliced cucumber, carrot, celery and cauliflower). I had the smash burger with a side salad and it was wonderful. One of my guests had the salmon and vegetables and cleaned her plate. The other guest had the kale salad and loved it. We ordered the carrot cake for dessert and split it and it was exceptional, with toasted walnuts and a not too sweet cream cheese icing. The whole experience was excellent and we will be back. One comment: the noise level is very high and it was difficult to hear even sitting directly across the table from the person talking. If there were some way to baffle the echo, that would make the experience even better.

   Top notch dining experience. Our reservation was a little late, the covered my wife’s drink. Our server was amazing along with the rest of the staff. Incredible food and very unique experience.

   Good food and service. Blinds on the windows would be a good improvement-No need to see the automotive business next door. Would go back.

   Easy parking in the lot behind the building. Clean and open feeling seating area. Our waiter was very pleasant and the food was fantastic. We had a wonderful dining experience and will definitely come back to this location.

   First time here and I will definitely be back. We shared Burrata Toast as an appetizer. Excellent. For main courses, we had the pasta of the day, which was penne with an excellent, very flavorful, tomato sauce and the "Steak and Potatoes" which was spiced tri-tip, garlic potato puree. We also had a side of asparagus with crispy parmesan, balsamic glaze, garlic butter. Then we shared the carrot cake for dessert. Everything was superb. The service was also excellent all evening. The only negative is the noise level. The restaurant was moderately busy and the noise level was pretty high as there is only cinder block walls with nothing to absorb noise.

   You absolutely must try the focaccia plate! It is amazing. The seasonal salad was wonderful, and the chicken Katsu was on point. Such a great atmosphere, and quality food at reasonable prices. And loved all the seasonal cocktails! Highly recommend!
