The Common - Park Slope

“I've been curious about this place as it's relatively new. Our server was nice and helped us navigate the menu since we weren't looking for large portions. Everything sounded delicious. And it was! I had the savory Danish and my counterpart had one of the skillet dishes. The food was absolutely delicious and the presentation was great. The sauce on the Danish dish was a bit salty but it was offset by the rest of the ingredients. The sausage in the skillet dish was cooked too perfection. The place had a very casual relaxing vibe. Books on the shelves and a very open feel to it. Down home good food made with love and care and no pretentious airs. I highly recommend the pear juice with ginger ale (I forgot the name of it but try it's worth it). The menu offered diverse options for different dietary needs and threw staff are very accommodating to people's needs”

“I've eaten at this restaurant a couple of times before and have always enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and service. But I have been wanting to try one of their cooking classes for a while and finally was able to last week. Just as I had a feeling it would be, it was absolutely phenomenal! My friend and I joined 8 other people for an hours-long experience that was wonderful from the first moment we arrived. Chef Alex and Sofia were so welcoming and warm, and we immediately felt comfortable and excited for what was to come! The rest of the night did not disappoint. Everything went so smoothly (shout out to Osvaldo and Elmer!) We drank lots of bubbly and wine, cooked five delicious courses, and shared a wonderful meal together. I will be back (many more times)!”

“I loved everything about this restaurant. The food was delicious, the service was excellent. Our hostess Sophia, was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. We had lots of questions about the food,, and history of the restaurant. We were in for a midweek brunch, so it wasn't extremely busy. The noises level was good for conversation, nice decor, and good vibe. Looking forward to another brunch here.”

“Amazing staff, great food (we tried a bunch of dishes) and cosy feel inside. Highly recommend: Carrot cake French toast; eggs Benedict; Grilled breakfast naan; passion fruit mimosa (to die for!); skillet pancake; tomato onion tart. …I just listed everything we had to eat as ‘highly recommended’. It really was all amazing! Great staff who were attentive and quick to serve us. Awesome music playlist (80-90’s pop!)”

“A reservation is a definite must for Brunch. It’s a small to medium sized restaurant but the tables are spaced out comfortably. The kitchen is open and super clean. The food was good and fairly priced. Easy parking on a Sunday morning.”
