"The vibe at Common Ground isn’t fancy or over-the-top, and that’s okay — the focus is on the food landing on your table. The carrot cake French toast is a crowd favorite here, but the short ribs and eggs hit the spot when you’re in a more savory mood. A former Patterson House bartender and a Yolan sommelier run the show at this Sylvan Park hang — i.e., order a cocktail with brunch, like the AM Smash with bourbon, apricot, mint, lemon, and sparkling rose. You can also find a second location serving brunch in Berry Hill with an expansive patio for enjoying your meal outdoors." - Kellie Walton, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
