The Common Man Review

It sounds like a pedestrian pub, but the Common Man is anything but. Housed in a century-old barn, the interior is soaring and dramatic. Chandeliers, floral carpeting on the walls (weird, but it works), and candles on the tables meld successfully and coax all but the most coldhearted of guests into a relaxed frame of mind. You'll be halfway through the meal before you notice there are no windows. The menu strives to be as ambitious and appealing as the decor, and sometimes succeeds. Starters such as sautéed rabbit livers in mustard sauce, beet goat-cheese salad, and handmade tagliatelle are followed by entrees that might range from grilled duck with molasses-mashed sweet potatoes and cherry glaze to lamb tenderloin, pan-seared scallops, or panko-crusted soft shell crabs.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
