Great place but beware of AGGRESSIVE PARKING ENFORCEMENT. The commons is such a great place and I love going there. However, parking is an issue. Commons has grown tremendously in size since it opened and very little parking was added. With increased employees and events, parking gets really hard. The front of the building is 30 minute parking which is strictly enforced. If you drive up you will likely see parking enforcement giving people tickets and those spots empty. There can be absolutely no available spots at times and if you overstay a timed spot, you will get a ticket and can get multiple tickets. I really hate this has affected the enjoyment of such a great place but the aggressive parking enforcement by the city has made commons a stressful place to go. I personally visit often and have seen a huge drop off in the number of people there including families at the park because of the known parking issues and fears of getting aggressive tickets with parking enforcement circling the lots constantly. And if you overstay, they calculate how long since they marked you and issue as many tickets as they can at one time. I understand the need but it is overkill and really destroying such an amazing place. Still 5 stars and sad visiting has gotten...
Read moreThe taco place overall was a disappointment. Chorizo taco- super dried out chorizo. The guac was sour/too much lime which provided the juicyness to the dry chorizo that was much needed. Not heated corn torilla that just broke and everything fell apart Korean taco- “meat” was straight up just fat component and not good. Half of it was also burnt. Terrible combo with the barely there sauce Veggie- cold taco; just threw on top and just had too many items where everything falls but still the best one of the bunch Indian taco was on a cold flour tortilla. Very bland chicken with not a lot of flavor. But the jalapeño were super fesh and clean and the best pry

Very knowledgeable on what was on tap! 3- vanillay with hints/touch of bluberries but the vanilla back bonen 17 - cider ; rasberry rosey defo a wine finish 12- malty with slight hops. A typical amber ale which makes sence bc it is an amber ale 18- taste straight up like apple juice and...
Read moreWe came here the other day after someone recommended it. We thought it worked out well because we were wanting to visit Unity Park and The Commons is only a few steps away. The place wasn’t busy, but there was still a good amount of people there. I got a pork belly sandwich from Golden Brown & Delicious and I thought it was pretty good. It also came with a generous amount of fries. I want to say it priced at $16.
GB&D was good, but my favorite place at The Commons had to be Bake Room. The one item that had me going back two days in a row was the AM Bun, which is kind of like a cross between a croissant and a cinnamon roll. Another reason for going back is because we came 5 minutes before it closed on our first visit, so there wasn’t many options. The next day we had so much to choose from! The other items we tried from there were also delicious, but I definitely recommend...
