I've been to Commonwealth twice now, once for brunch and once for dinner, and had a good experience both times. The interior is wonderfully modern and welcoming, while the skybar is a good, casual alternative if you're in the mood to sit outside. I can't say much about the menu, because I'm a cheapskate and ordered the cheapest possible options, but what we did try was excellent. For brunch, I had the chicken and waffles. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was still good. For dinner, the onion haystack appetizer was a great twist on typical onion rings, and the fried chicken sandwich was amazing. I'll probably never be able to justify spending $20+ on one of the other entrees, but I might come back for brunch or to get another taste of that awesome chicken sandwich.

Pretty nice restaurant. The Sky Bar is definitely more like Club. Downstairs is a really good restaurant. However for the food it's a little pricey. I've had higher quality food at a much lower price.

Used to be one of my favorites but havent been there in over 6 mo ths. Not sure what happened but it was the saltiest meal I have ever had. It is all you could taste.

The meal was ok, nothing special. The prices were outrageous for what we got and the service was lukewarm. This was our second mediocre experience and we won't be back.

Poor experience last evening at this establishment. Beverage order - first two selections from the printed beer list were denied, as "we no longer carry those beers". On a positive note, my wife ordered the Spring Risotto, which she enjoyed very much. I selected the 13oz Timbercreek Ribeye from the daily special list. I have had Timbercreek ribeye before, as well as their dry aged ribeye, what I was presented with was neither. This was the toughest cut of meat that I have ever been served. It suggested origin of a lesser beast. This was brought to the attention of the server, who removed the partially eaten meal, promising to bring it to the attention of the kitchen staff. That was the last I heard or saw of it, no apology or comment from any employee. This is not the first time I have been to Commonwealth, but with so many legitimate and quality restaurants on the Downtown Mall, it may well be the last.
