Wow, What an awesome restaurant!We had the pleasure of dining at Common tonight. We were greeted by the hostess with a big smile, which started off our experience perfectly. Madison was our server. She was friendly, attentive, and she knew the menu well. She really helped us with our choices. We started out with the Heirloom Tomato and Pickled Peach Caprese. It was a very light appetizer and was absolutely delicious. For dinner, I had the Seafood Fra Diavolo and hubby had the Gumbo. We both loved our meals. Lastly, the Banana pudding for dessert was incredible! Loved this place so much, we made a reservation for brunch here tomorrow! read more

We had been here for brunch but never for dinner and it was a mistake waiting to come so long. Pictured are the Forager Mushroom Bruschetta, the Salmon couscous and the short rib ravioli. It was a perfect amount of food for 2 people and the salmon dish was the star - cooked perfectly medium rare and a generous portion. They also have an Award winning wine list and a good variety of spirits. I am sure many members of their staff are nice but we were lucky enough to have Michael who made our night even better. Super friendly, lots of jokes, great banter throughout our meal. Enjoyed every minute of our time there. read more

Overall rating: 4.8 Visiting from NYC Paid $84 w/ tip I read in the reviews that they give tours for the wine and it was more of an educational walkthrough than a tour. There's no reservations for the "tour" and you just ask before you go in to eat. The sommelier was so friendly and so nice. I ordered the lamb shank and had an espresso martini. I also had another drink with whiskey which was okay. The food was delicious, but would have preferred to try other drinks. Maybe I should have chosen wine. read more

Came in for a very late lunch which transferred over to dinner. The Gouda Grit puppies were a must eat 10/10 and Oyster Happy Hour was a nice touch as well. The transition over to dinner seemed to be rough for the staff who wanted to leave and I ended up ordering the HotHoney Glazed Short Rib which was so overpoweringly sweet I couldn't eat anything but the meat. This is coming from someone who can eat a whole box of Gushers fruit snacks with no issue. It was so sweet it actually made me nauseous. I told the server he didn't bother offering an alternative. The place was clean but would only visit if you're interested in Oysters from my experience. I did hear good things about their brunch but again.. disappointing first impressions. read more

My bf and I came here for brunch the other day and the thought sounded better than the actual meal unfortunately. I got the brisket and grits with a sunny side up egg and my bf got the andouille and Gouda Mac au gratin. I also got a side of sweet potato hash. My food was very mid, the brisket was cooked perfectly but the problem was it was so salty, I couldn't even taste anything else on the plate. My bf pasta was so heavy , he couldn't enjoy the food. It needed some type of cream, it seemed it dried up while baking. We ordered drinks and I got an amaretto sour with egg white and that was probably the best thing I had. My sweet potato hash was good but slightly undercooked. It was a bit crunchy. The ambience of the restaurant was tea though and our waitress was super sweet. So I'd give that a higher rating. read more

Wow! My wife and I showed up just before 3pm on a Sunday, looking for some happy hour oysters and drinks and we left happy! The hostess set up a small table for us next to the bar and our server was there immediately to guide us through the drinks and food options. We ordered three dozen oysters of every make and model over the course of our time there, as well as a couple of cocktails, some tinned fish and some Miller ponys. Everyone was friendly and the food and drinks were tasty. This was just one of those perfect, laid-back, pleasant experiences that you hope to wander into every now and then. Thank you, Common. read more

We dined here for our anniversary & loved it. The ambiance is chill but upscale. Service was great & sommelier was so helpful finding a great bottle of wine. I ordered the salmon for dinner & my husband got the short rib. The salmon was fantastic & wonderfully cooked. My husband liked his short rib & said the pairing of flavors was really good.

We came to Common for a bachelorette party of 11 and had the best experience!!! The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating, and the service was amazing the entire time. The food was delicious, unique, and came in very generous portions. Our server Dave was especially great: friendly, attentive, and really knowledgeable about the menu. Overall, such a fun spot for a group dinner in Savannah. Would definitely come back! It was the best meal we had all weekend. They even gave us a complimentary round of champagne to celebrate the bride! read more

The dining experience was excellent as soon as we walked through the door! The hostess was friendly and sat us in one of the booths by the bar area where Evan took care of us. Evan had great knowledge of the menu, gave great suggestions and made a couple sturdy drinks! We started with a 1/2 dozen House Oysters that were great! We then ordered the Lobster and Shrimp Pretzel Bread that was excellent! The Hot Honey Short Rib dish was AMAZING, by far the best dish we've had since we've been here! The cornbread was soft with crispy edges, the collared greens complimented the cornbread nicely and the short rib on top was very tasty! The 14oz Strip Steak was cooked perfectly and the steak, herb potatoes and broccolini were seasoned nicely. Thinking of coming back once more while we're in the area, everything was delicious! read more

A group dinner at Common found us raiding the menu for drinks (mocktails and full proof), appetizers (the best was the freshly baked bread, and a flight of smoked oysters Rockefeller. When it came time for the mains, I had to get the "Pineapple Situation" - Thai Chili & Citrus Glazed Mahi Mahi with Pineapple Fried Rice in a grilled Pineapple Half, with Yum Yum Sauce & Charred Lime. Others got the shrimp & grits, along with a few of the evening's specials (scallops and grilled shrimp). And of course, we had to try the desserts as well. A fun environment, great for groups, this is worth a try if you're visiting Savannah. read more

During our Savannah eating bonanza, we had brunch at Common Restaurant. The brunch menu is fairly extensive, so we had some difficulty choosing what to order....but definitely come hungry because the portions are large and the food is pretty rich. To share amongst the table, we ordered the cinnamon toast banane and crispy gouda grit croquettes. Thumbs up on both, particularly the croquettes which were the right balance of gooey and structured enough to eat with the delicious sauce on the side. The cinnamon toast banane was not so much toast as cinnamon rolls with bananas foster; the cinnamon rolls were really tasty and the bananas foster was good, though the bourbon flavor was strong. For my entree, I ordered one of the lighter vegetarian dishes - the mushroom tartine with tomato soup. I think it is one of the lighter dishes - certainly lighter than what my dining companions ordered - but it was still quite rich with a fair amount of gouda fondue in the tomato bisque soup. The mushroom tartine/sandwich was really flavorful with the pesto, cheese and tons of mushrooms. The restaurant is quite large with an upstairs seating area. read more

A great experience! Our waiter was knowledgeable, friendly, and very patient with all of our indecisiveness! He gave great suggestions and ideas. I ended up ordering the meal size version of the pesto Mac n cheese and WOW I'm so glad I did, it was amazing!!! Also absolutely LOVEDDD the pickled fries. Fair warning, if you don't like the vinegary taste of pickles, you may not like these. A couple of people got the oysters and said they were great! And the burger was a hit too. Overall a great spot in terms of food, service and ambiance! read more

My friends and I grabbed dinner at this beautiful restaurant Monday night. Once our group sat down, the manager stopped by our table and offered us some rolls that this restaurant only make 6 of per night (usually reserved for events) since one of our friends is friends with one of the servers at the restaurant. The manager definitely didn't have to do this, but we automatically felt welcomed by this gesture. Also, the rolls were amazing! It had flaky sea salt, rosemary, and other seasonings, and it was really soft in the middle. Also, I have to give a shout out to our server, Mike! He was so personable and had us laughing the entire time! He also went out of his way to search for an outlet for one of our friends that needed to charge her phone, which was really sweet of him. As for the dinner I ordered, I would say that it was a solid 4. My sister and I ended up splitting the Hot Honey Glazed Short Rib Fettucini Fattoria since we were interested in trying both. The short rib was perfectly cooked and tender, but it definitely could've used more seasoning. I nearly asked for a side of flaky sea salt since it would've taken this dish over the edge because of how perfectly cooked it was. Outside of that, the sides including the cornbread were absolutely delicious. The fettuccine also could've used a bit more salt or a hit of citrus to bring out the flavors more, but was really good over all. You can truly tell that the pasta is homemade, and the meat within it was cooked to perfection. read more

The inside of the restaurant was elegant. We had a large group of 8 that they were able to accommodate at a large round table. Overall, food was average. The pineapple situation was supposed to be sweet and chili Mahi Mahi, but I only tasted sweet flavor with not much kick. The pineapple presentation was cool, but there was extremely little pineapple fried rice. The black truffle mac and cheese did not taste like mac and cheese at all - it just tasted like pesto pasta. Prices seemed a bit high for the quality and flavor of dishes. read more

One thing you and I may have in "COMMON" is never having enough recommendations for a brunch spot. Common on Broughton Street is Historic Downtown Savannah needs to be on your list! After seeing an IG post about their Brisket Grilled Cheese, I knew I needed to repay them a visit. Their brunch menu is modern and creative as it pays homage to its Southern roots. A great bar space, booths and tables under old church lanterns. Laken, our server, was extremely helpful as we asked questions and a good cocktail pairing. She recommended the Not a Poinsettia as it was light and bubbly option to pair well with the heavy food choices. The Brisket Grilled Cheese - delicious! The sourdough bread was thick and helped absorb the richness of the oils and aioli. Fried Chicken Sandwich - If Chick-fil-A had a bougie, rich, single auntie... this would be her. Smoked Oysters Rockefeller - Yes, yes, YES!!! Perfect combination or savory, slight sweetness, and a tad bit of spice. Insider Tip: Ask for a side of garlic aioli for your fries! read more

Jen was a fantastic server and we had a delicious meal. Chef did a table touch which was an added bonus on an already great dinner. The shrimp and grits as well as a fried green tomato app were our favorite dishes though the short rib ravioli (sauce was light and not too heavy) and the scallop special we had were fantastic too. Do not pass on dessert. The Banana pudding was incredible! There is a caramel sauce on the bottom that really adds an extra element of yum! Drinks were creative and refreshing! I enjoyed the Girl Dinner Martini, really fun twist on a lemony (almost a hint garlic flavor? might sound weird but it worked) martini. The Gypsy Queen was light, balanced, and a great dinner cocktail. We were so happy we ate here on our recent trip to Savannah! read more

Great service and amazing food & drinks! Will definitely be back. Very well decorated with an elevated cozy ambiance. Our server recommended I try their espresso martini to drink and I was definitely not disappointed + the art on top made it almost too pretty to drink. I had the Brisket, Eggs & Gouda Grits and our friends had different dishes - I also tried the chicken and waffles. Both dishes were perfectly balanced, fresh and hot. The chicken and waffles probably could have easily fed 2 hungry people! read more

Beware the pork products and the oysters were yuck nice vibe but over rated y'all. Busy, but we had good bar service and a decent martini.

We walked into Common Restaurant feeling optimistic and started exactly the right way with a cocktail. This thing was a work of art. Crafted with intention. Mixed with respect. Balanced like it went to culinary finishing school. If the entire meal had followed this cocktail's lead, I would be writing a love letter instead of a review. Then came the sweet potato gnocchi. Highly acclaimed. Revered. Spoken about in hushed tones online. Unfortunately, it tasted like sage and butter got into a heated argument and nobody intervened. The butter was burnt. Not toasted. Burnt. There was an overwhelming bitterness that clung to every bite like it had something to prove. We gave it a fair shot and then quietly waved the white flag and moved on. Next up was the fried green tomato caprese salad, recommended enthusiastically by the staff. And to be fair, the fried green tomatoes were excellent. Crisp. Well seasoned. Textbook execution. The mozzarella was fresh and clean and exactly what you want it to be. The basil sauce was delicious but used so sparingly that it felt like it was being rationed. This sauce could have been the lead singer but was instead stuck playing tambourine in the background. Then there were the cherry tomatoes. Allegedly part of the dish. Hidden. Sparse. Distributed like it was wartime in the Soviet bloc. Blink and you miss them. The garlic aioli, however, came in like a hero and absolutely saved the plate. Rich, flavorful, and doing most of the heavy lifting by itself. This restaurant is highly acclaimed, beautifully presented, and clearly thoughtful. But on this visit, the kitchen underperformed. Great ideas. Great components. Execution that just did not come together. I would absolutely come back for cocktails. I just hope next time the food shows up ready to match the confidence of the bar. read more

Got a recommendation for this place because they have the salt bomb oysters and on happy hour for only $2 what a steal. We ended up doing a reservation and had our dog with us so I requested outdoor seating. They were very accommodating and service was fantastic. We got a dozen of the 75 cent oysters and a dozen salt bombs. Again what a steal for their prelude menu! The deconstructed fish sandwich was so different yet delicious- served with sourdough bread made in house with their 10 year old starter named Stewart. Gouda grit balls we're so different yet fluffy still and crunchy on the outside Fish spread was good they even came out with extra bread for us it had a lot of veggies in it so it was a super light spread. Overall 12/10 may even come back today for some oysters! Street parking was available and it's more quiet where the restaurant is so there was a lot of free spaces. read more

We had an amazing time dining at Common. The style of the restaurant is moody and antique. We sat in the front by the bar for our big group. We showed up around the time where the prelude menu was available and just before dinner, so we ordered off both menus. From the Prelude menu we ordered a round of house and local oysters that are freshly shucked. They are priced at $0.75 and $2 a pop which makes it a great deal. They were served with crackers, lemons, hot sauce, horseradish, mignonette sauce and cocktail sauce. Off the dinner menu my sister ordered the Southern White Gumbo and I got the shrimp and grits. Both were very generous in the amount of seafood in both dishes. I liked that the shrimp was fresh and seasoned well. The grits were very creamy and was great with the shrimp. Our waitress was very attentive to make sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely come back again if we are in the area. read more

It's a happening pace as you can see from the photos. There's a bar, nice leather booths, and they have a loft which is super cool where you can get a great view of the Restaraunt and outside windows where you can see what's going on Broughton Street. First the shrimp and grits were better than mine and that's saying something. No really they were spectacular so please get them. A double order would not be too much! Other winners were the crabcakes, and the Oyster Rockefeller. Shout out to the Manager, the distinguished looking guy who greeted me on my second time there...he remembered me! Loved that too, icing on the cake! read more

My husband and I had our anniversary dinner here on a Sunday evening. When we checked in at the front, the host immediately wished us a happy anniversary and walked us to our table. The ambiance is very nice; high ceilings give the restaurant a nice, open feel. When we sat in our booth, we saw there was a card already there for us, wishing us a happy anniversary: there were two silver pineapple pins attached to the card. I ordered a Planter's Punch, and it was very tasty. For my entree I ordered the shrimp and grits. The dish was flavorful and they were the best grits I have ever had, hands down. My husband ordered the short rib ravioli, and said it was exceptional. Finally, we ordered the banana pudding for dessert. It was incredibly delicious. When the server brought it out, she also brought us two flutes of champagne to toast our anniversary. Thank you, Common, for an incredible, memorable evening! read more

I had the best birthday dinner here over the weekend. Staff was so sweet and gave me a hand written card on the table wishing me happy birthday! Such a lovely and personal touch. They seated us on the private upstairs balcony, in what I thought was the best seat in the house! We could overlook the entire dining room. It was private but still gave us that feeling of being with others in the bustling restaurant! Our server was also great- he was personal and checked on us throughout our meal. Drinks and food came out in a timely manner. For dinner I tried the pineapple situation - the fish was delicious, pineapple was good. The rice was a little bland in my opinion. For "fried rice" I didn't think it checked that box. Reminded me more of a sweet and sour rice rather than "fried rice". I still liked the meal overall. My husband tried one of their nightly specials, the swordfish. He said the fish was cooked to perfection but felt the same about the red rice side dish that it came with - the rice was boring and didn't add much to the dish. Overall, the main part of the meals (fish) was cooked to perfection and delicious but their rice sides could use some revisions in our opinion! They have an extensive list of wine and bourbon! Even some "exclusive" bourbons & wines from Greece! We are suckers for some volcanic wines & my husband enjoyed the bourbon collection. For dessert we had the seasonal creme brûlée which was a Carmel apple cider creme brûlée. I liked the actual custard itself but wasn't a fan of the chunky apples on top solely because I'm not a huge "Apple dessert" person. The custard was lightly Carmel apple flavored (not fake tasting) - I enjoyed that part! With dessert, they offered us two complimentary champagne toasts for my birthday! It was actually really yummy champagne they served us (not the cheap stuff) Overall, a lovely experience. I'd recommend for a date night or birthday dinner! read more

Disappointed in last night's dinner. We've eaten here several times and it's always been excellent but last night was not great. The Seafood Diavolo was overcooked so badly the pasta was slimy mush and the lobster dried so badly it wouldn't come out of the shell. Someone let it slide and sent it out when it was clearly not edible. My husband shared his excellent steak entree and we had ordered bread so I didn't leave hungry but not sure we'll be back. read more

We came here on a Thursday afternoon when we made it to Savannah. We had six house oysters (which are only 75¢ each) and the four Mezcal & Pepper Oyster. They were good. No complaints.

I will say the food is very delicious here. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The waiter was also great and pleasant. However, the lady at the front was not welcoming to us with our children. She said upfront that there are no kid menus, high chairs and strollers had to be placed elsewhere. I get it, it is good for us to know but it came across a bit unfriendly. She also did not want my daughter to momentarily sit in the waiting area with the other guests. I would understand if this was a fine dining upscale restaurant that was quiet but the ambiance was very ordinary. There was regular restaurant noise and people dressed casually. If you are going to advertise your establishment as "good for kids" please consider the way you are talking to families who want to dine here. read more

The food, drinks, and service here are beyond incredible. I visited from out of town and would now add this as a must-eat place in Savannah.

Such a nice brunch at common restaurant for my friend's bachelorette weekend. We were given an upstairs table which felt cozy and private for our celebration. Our table had a lovely card sending well wishes to our bride. We got the cinnamon toast bread to split which was excellent, and I had the duck and sweet potato hash which had so much flavor. I especially loved the bell pepper and mushroom with the hash. My friends said their fried chicken sandwich was one of the best they've ever had, and I loved my Bloody Mary, especially the sweet syrup with the tajin rim. Lastly, our waitress gave us a complimentary round of champagne to toast to our bride, thank you so much!! read more

This was an expensive restaurant but the food was not as tasty. Almost everyone at our table did not finish their entrees. The appetizers tasted better. There was also no complementary bread and only ones to order. There were only 2 pieces for the forager bruchetta which were overpriced. The sweet potato gnocchi had a nice tasting sauce. The Brussel sprouts were also delicious with a nice spicy sauce. The smoked oyster Rockefeller was also delicious. The short rib ravioli lacked flavor. The white seafood gumbo was way too creamy to even eat. The seafood fra diavolo had a nice spicy kick but the lobster was not cooked on the inside. The mahi in the pineapple situation was cooked well since it was not too hard but the rice had way too much sweet and sour sauce to eat. For dessert the banana pudding was my favorite. The New York cheesecake was good too along with the pineapple on top. All the desserts were super sweet. read more

We all helped ourselves to the Gouda Mac and Cheese topped with fried chicken and a fried egg. This was easily a good dish to have, and I was very surprised the dish was not salty. Sooo good.
