The waitress was very cheerful and attentive making for a fun experience. The happy hour at this place can't be beat half off all drinks. The drinks were all delicious. It was apparent they were made by a bartender that cares about his craft. The food was also great we just got some snacks but everything was so good especially the hummus and burrata.

I did add a bit of lime juice and salt for flavor. The bread was delicious! I met a new friend at the bar and she and I enjoyed splitting the Wagyu beef 8 ounce with risotto. This was delicious and perfectly prepared rare with a chat. The risotto gravy was a bit rich for me. I would have loved a steak sauce but enjoyed adding lemon butter. Wonderful all around night before my asylum tour.

The ambiance is nice and quiet. Our server Craig was really nice and attentive. We have heard so much about the restaurant from friends and also from all the lists so maybe our expectation was set too high. We liked our food but we weren't blown away. The highlight of our meal was probably the foie gras and the caprese salad. The wild boar tenderloin came in second and I wasn't really impressed with the rainbow trout, the fish itself wasn't very flavorful. Overall I'm glad we were able to experience the restaurant, maybe we'll try it another day with a different menu.

Ended our night at Low Bar. They stay open later than most…read morebars around Traverse City on a Monday. It's at the bottom of the building which is pretty cool. You walk in and it's very dark and lounge feeling. We got the Krampus Old Fashioned and a Wake Up Call. Krampus is very strong! I'm a wimp haha my husband ordered that. I got the Wake Up Call. It was very yummy. A good dessert drink to end my night. I liked it! Also very strong. So if you like booze heavy drinks this is your place! It's not super loud down in the bar. It was a cool place to get a drink and hang out for a bit. Krista and Nick were running the bar. They were friendly and kind and attentive service. 5 stars if strong drinks are your vibe because this is place makes great drinks I only gave 4 because it's not really my style of drinks and I didn't love love my drink. I like it, it was good but I wouldn't get two. Service was 5 stars Bar was 5 stars Prices were great

We sat at the bar which was staffed by two very efficient bartenders who did it all. It was nice to be able to see right through to the kitchen from the bar. Really enjoyed the mussel special (not sure if this is always on the menu). The prosciutto fig salad was quite good too but a very small serving size for two people to share as an appetizer. The crostini served with the burrata was very tasty and crispy. The best dish was the fettuccine which has pork ragu and fresh parmesan. This was recommended by our server and it did not disappoint. I only wish there were just a couple more noodles because the amount of meat was very generous. If you're deciding between here and the other Italian place also at the Commons (I don't think I can say it by name) I would actually recommend PepeNero's over that one!!!!

The restaurant is beautiful inside we were seated in a very private area in the back of the restaurant making for a fantastic space for conversation. The service was impeccable,our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and did a fantastic job managing our party of 8. The food was excellent I can't stop thinking about the steak tartar and the amazing plating and presentation. The pasta dishes were perfectly al dente and so rich in flavor. I would highly recommend making this a go to location for any special occasion you will not be disappointed.

We stopped by after dinner for a drink, so this review is based on the ambiance and the drinks, but not the food. Plan accordingly. As far as what we were looking for, sunshine and a view, it was perfect on a (seasonally) warm early May evening. It was a comfortable amount of people, I could see it getting crowded during the popular tourist months. The space is modern, mostly open with a small amount of covered space. The wine menu was a bit more limited than I would expect, and it would be nice to have more local wines. One in our group got a Manhattan and it was strong, both booze and alcohol. Good vibes and wine, great to check out on a nice day.

The food- off the charts. Highly suggest the cornbread! But the service- a bit slow as there were only two servers covering the entire floor, and it started to get quite busy after we arrived. Staff- friendly and as attentive as they could be, but found ourselves waiting quite a bit. All in all, pretty good experience, but room for improvement.
