“ We held a baby shower in the room above the restaurant. The experience was top notch all the way. The room was set up beautifully, the attention of the staff was excellent and the food was AMAZING! All the food was made from scratch by the chef in the kitchen (even the salad dressing)! Would highly recommend this for any occasion! Plan on going out for dinner with my husband next! Thank you Berkley Common!!!! ”
“ Great spot for dinner! Easy parking in the street and behind the building. Service was friendly and attentive! Appetizers were HUGE and delicious. We enjoyed the cauliflower and the brussel sprouts! Highly recommend for small groups and couples. ”
“ The worst part about this restaurant is that I'll never be able to experience it for the first time again. The food was amazing, service (Sergio) was prompt and friendly, drinks were amazing, and more importantly, the overall vibe of the restaurant is impeccable. The Lamb Pappardelle was next level delicious and | KNOW that the next meal will be just as good. Amazing. Congrats Berkley Common. ”
“ So many positives about our experience. The restaurant /bar is set in downtown. At first you think you are entering a casual hang out spot. But then you take a second look when the food and drink options are considered. We chose here for our New Year's Eve dinner. The feta and Brussels sprouts, amazing. Each of our meals used fresh ingredients and were homemade. Nothing came from a can. Excellent mix of flavors that made each one an intriguing adventure. Then dessert. You'd think cheesecake and tiramisu were everyday items you can find anywhere. Well you can. But these two are masterpieces. Our waiter was patient and allowed us to enjoy our meals as well as talk and enjoy time together. Enjoy. ”
“ Lovely dinner, good space and not crowded at all. Had a Painkiller mocktail: 8.5/10 very tasty For food, had the Lettuce Wraps appetizer (7.5/10, tasty but the meat is crumbly and a little messy). For main course, got the Bone Marrow Burger (8/10) a little on the pink side per request. Well cooked and good flavor, got the upgraded truffle fries (7/10). Waitress was lovely and super helpful as we were new. 10/10 service! ”
“ Very limited street parking, medium sized free city lot behind. A clean, large pub space. We did not try the food, but the bartender and staff were nice. He makes his own syrups for the specialty drinks, and they were good. A small but good draft beer selection. There is also a sports bar next door, and Mexican bar/eatery just across the road. ”
“ Phenomenal food, drinks, and service! Cool vibes, and a very friendly, welcoming staff. The GM, Evan, checked on us regularly and delivered exquisite drinks. McKenna was our server and provided stellar service. We were treated so well and can't wait to come back. The food is wow! To start, we had the whipped feta, which was drizzled with honey and served with sourdough. We definitely recommend it. We also had the truffle fries, and the fries were nice and crisp. For my main course, I had the Cacio de Pepe, which was perfectly al dente and so fresh. It's such a difference when it's homemade noodles. My mom loved her burger. Normally, my mom has to add salt and pepper to her burger, but with this burger she didn't need to. She was impressed with how well seasoned it was. For dessert, my mom enjoyed the cheesecake with a mixed berry compote. I loved the vegan chocolate raspberry tart. The drinks are sooooooooo good. Evan helped my mom out with a great gin recommendation. She loves gin and tonic. I had two delicious cocktails. I had the Lavender Haze and the Pain Killer. I loved them both! Easy free parking behind the building. Everything was perfect! You should definitely go here!!! ”
