"Common Ground is the platonic ideal for a casual neighborhood hangout you’ll want to revisit often: it’s simple, unpretentious, and never too busy to squeeze you in. The decor is pretty pared down, with some large leather booths and plenty of two-tops, but you wouldn’t want anything to distract you from the crumbly carrot cake french toast, a wagyu smashburger, or plate of focaccia with tomato jam and whipped boursin. And with a former Patterson House bartender and Yolan sommelier running the show, you can count on excellent cocktails and an on-point wine list." - Team Infatuation
