The Common

A hidden gem in the Bay Ridge area! The food is outstanding. The menu is easy to read, a simple fare turned up a notch. Everything is made to order and it always comes pippin hot. What makes this restaurant exceptional is the amazing waitress with her warm smile, professionalism and the attention she pays to the customers and the Chef is fantastic.

This place was recommended by a friend. He said it's a local hidden gem. And that it is indeed!! I'll be back tomorrow morning for sure!

Worth the wait, though it was a long wait time at 10am on a chilly Sunday morning.

The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating.

I just love days when my kids randomly orders items on the menu 'cause these are the dishes that tend to surprise me.

Surprised dishes of the day:
1. Grilled Breakfast Naan - my favorite - simple toasted Naan with brie cheese, pesto, greens, ripe avocado topped with sunny egg and finished off with a drizzle of honey.
2. Pancake Skillet - thick fluffy cake baked in a cast iron pan and served right out of the oven. Sweet cinnamon crumble with condensed milk was the perfect touch. Ordered this to share for the table.

Other plates we ordered were just as good, need to also try their pistachio latte! Recommend this cozy spot to locals, and to those who are willing to travel for a good cup of Joe like myself.

My review of this restaurant was formerly a 5.0. The food is good and the waiters have excellent customer service skills but the restaurant has some serious issues.

The first is that the owner who is an excellent cook has TERRIBLE customer service skills. After my companion observed a serious issue at the restaurant and brought it to the owner's attention, we were blown off as though it never happened. After my companion insisted on some satisfaction in regards, the owner begrudgingly complied without apology and then told us not to return to the restaurant.

My message to the owner is that you should own up to issues with your customer's experience at your establishment and be both humble and respectful when you are in the wrong.

As for the issue that was brought to your attention, you had best address it because the health of your business and the employment of half a dozen people depend on it.

I been here for breakfast and lunch and find the food to be really good for the prize Always tasty and lot of flavor.

This place is great. The atmosphere is very nice, friendly staff, the food is delicious, and the prices are very reasonable. Overall had a great experience, and would highly recommend you check this place out if you're in the area.

The food was amazing and the staff was on point. I dropped my knife and immediately within 45 seconds. I was handed a clean new one.

One of our favorite places to go. Just hard to get a table!

I’m in love. The food was amazing and the staff was wonderful. The other people there were even incredibly kind offering to let us sit with them while we waited for our table.

Nice place with good vibes.
Breakfast is most amazing part in day so i would recommend to try spent few of the breakfasts in yours life with this guys.
Fresh, tasty, very accurate portions ( without over eating) gives your morning food ritual some new “ lights”.
