Contemporary American dishes and creative cocktails in a trendy setting with live music.
"This restaurant inside the swank Virgin Hotel New Orleans is a swell addition to game day dining and drinking given its proximity to the ‘Dome. From themed cocktail specials to inspired seasonal cuisine, Commons Club offers something a bit different for cheering on the team. There’s a whole other party on the roof at the Pool Club — it hosts game day watch parties throughout the season and serves a slew of perfect bites to go along." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
"Commons Club executive chef Chris Borges is whipping up a $65, three course menu served from 11 a.m. to closing. The menu sizzles with style, from the barbecye shrimp with brown butter and fermented garlic to duck confit arancini and short rib with German potato and celery root salad. Choose the traditional turkey and sides, or an Italian option, fusilli with meatballs and red gravy." - Beth D'Addono
"There’s nothing common about the Commons Club at the Virgin Hotel New Orleans, thanks to talented local chef Chris Borges’ deceptively simple menu of elevated seasonal cuisine. Whether munching on grilled peaches with duck rilette, pork osso buco with farro, or Wagyu beef carpaccio, the repast satisfies. Add in the sexy design by New Orleans-based Logan Killen Interiors, and the effect is uncommon indeed." - Beth D'Addono
"Chef Chris Borges presides over the Commons Club, the cheeky restaurant space in the Virgin Hotel, with its peekaboo-themed shag room and art-filled setting for conversation and noshing. The menu, which includes gluten-free and vegetarian options, ranges from spaghetti with lamb meatballs to roast chicken and barbecue shrimp." - Beth D'Addono
"Reserve a spot at the Commons Club for Mardi Gras-themed brunch, on January 28 and February 9, with delicious bites and seasonal cocktails set to the groove of DJ Rusty Lazer. Or, plan for the Lundi Gras bounce brunch on February 12, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., with the spotlight on drag queen Laveau Contraire and DJ Mikey Offline. Reservations can be made on OpenTable." - Beth D'Addono
