Common Restaurant

"My husband and I were wanting really good raw oysters and read that St. Neo’s was a good place to get them. We made reservations at Neos, were seated and noticed they didn’t have oysters on the menu. When we asked, they said they didn’t have any oysters that day but recommended we go to Common. So we walked 4 minutes and were seated at a high top near the bar and I have to say it was one of the best experiences we’ve had. Not only did they have raw oysters, it was on the happy hour menu (which goes until 7pm!), our server was the bartender, Jesse, who was absolutely phenomenal and always checked on us and got us whatever we needed and the food was absolutely delicious. We ended up order 1 1/2 dozen of their James River oysters and another 18 oysters that were on their “Prepared Oysters” menu and they were all amazing!! It was such a great experience and felt warm and inviting. We will ABSOLUTELY go back!! If I lived here, this would be a regular spot."

"My husband and I went this past November 2023, and was amazing. I do not like the Rockefeller oyster but in this place I was in love with them. Food, was incredible. Service, they were very kind with us. And the atmosphere super cool, you can go dressy, (I love to produce myself) and in this place you can do it. The music was very good too."

"Amazing food, excellent service and overall Experience! The Lobster Mac and cheese the Best we ever had. The unique Cornbread with the Shortrib is a MUST HAVE. I had the Elk and the flavor was Unbelievable!! We tried 6 different types of oysters and Every oyster we was fresh and full of flavor. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

"What a great, friendly, clean atmosphere. We showed up about 20 minutes early and was able to get a table in 5 minutes. The waiter was very courteous and knowledgeable. The wait time for our food was about seven minutes stating with the appetizers. We got the scallops as appetizers. Pork & Pineapple and the White Gumbo. Pork was cooked to perfection, tender, and moist. Compliments to the chef that cooked it once again. Then, a new take on the Gumbo, but we became fans of it. They boasted about a drink called "Navy Proof," which had a good kick to it, but I am an Army vet, so it will be worth getting two when we go back. Call the restaurant directly for reservations."
