We had a fantastic lunch at the commons. The vibe was super chill and the staff were lovely (there were two young guys working), both really attentive and friendly. The fish tacos were amazing and adding the Mexican hot sauce was a good idea! 🌮🌮🌮

The place was nice and had a great vibe, however the portion size just doesn't justify the price. $27 for a burger with a single (!) chicken tender and a handful of fries. I understand that the cost of living is quite rough, but yeah that's just shocking. The fish tacos ($23) were slightly overcooked and quite hard, otherwise tasty. Little unfortunate for our first experience at this place, taking into consideration of other reviews (which is basically why we went here).

California tacos (Chips and steak) were delicious. Fish tacos were good too but California tacos were better Atmosphere is great that’s why I always come back Staff are friendly One of my fave spots near margs I’ll be coming back :) The sticky date pudding was also excellent

Was pleasantly surprised with the level of service and quality of food at the Common Bistro. Fish tacos were a 10/10, and the parmis quote ‘the best I’ve ever had’. I also should make a note on the chips, exceptionally fresh and perfectly chicken salt coated! The extensive drink menu was also nice to see. The bartender also went above and beyond, coming out to perfect our espresso martini’s. 10/10 for the Common Bistro.

Great pub vibe with a mix of locals and tourists. Friendly and super efficient staff serving the best cocktails and food. Cosy relaxed feel with the fireplace and couches. Quite a big space with a variety of tables throughout and a pool table at the back The special midweek meals are good value too and jazz night shouldn't be missed.

Good food, beer on tap. Glutenfree pizza and gf beer. Plus, they have a gf frier = fries. Cheesesteak pizza = very good Pounder burger and fries = very good, done smash burger style. Many thanks to Kai for personally seeing that our order was celiac-safe.

Stayed 2 nights at margaret beach resort and had dinner here both times. Self order with QR code. Complimentary tap water available. Portions were generous and served quickly. Food was decent. The pizza with the maple syrup was a bit odd I must admit but not bad (no photo) Parmigiana was huge Pepperoni was a classic

I was staying nearby so as a walking distance restaurant with sunset views this place was already a hit for me! Then I saw the Gin and Tonic menu! My favorite was the grapefruit option. As a vegetarian there were several options I could try but I was really wishing there was a burger choice. I took a chance and asked if there was a way some of the portobello shrooms from the pizza could be put on a bun as a burger alternative. They said yes and went above and beyond to make me the most delicious creation with portabellos, halloumi, roasted red pepper, hummus etc. So delicious and so thoughtful! Oh and their fries(chips) are crispy on the outside and soft inside. Yeah, I am going back tomorrow!

Best romantic candlelight supper I have ever had! The place is homely and welcoming. Staff were so attentive, well mannered, knowledgeable, warm and welcoming. This is seriously first class bistro service. The toilets have great ambiance, and well maintained. Most importantly the food is amazing! Those finger lickin' BBQ chicken wings and Pork rib meal are well portioned and absolutely delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection and the hot chocolate and coffee was like cherry on the top of my sundae. Thank you for starting our South West journey such high standards. You will be seeing this happy customer again and again. xx

With chef Tony Howell on the pans, you can't go wrong. Great new outdoor area with ocean views - perfect on a sunny arvo. Specialising in local craft beer, Swings wine on tap - great for a drink, or sit and relax over a meal. Cool and casual serving great bistro food. Big screen for AFL games, open fire for wintery nights and a pool table. Newly opened in August 2015 by the Margaret River Hospitality Group, the same owners that have Morries Anytime and the White Elephant Beach Cafe.

First of all, we waited for almost an hour for our order. Then the person who took our order got my son's steak order wrong. They served him a medium done steak instead of a well done steak. They took the steak back and we were told that they have put the steak back to the oven. Of course when we got the steak back - it was too rubbery. But since my son was already in tears, hungry... he did not say anything untill after dinner. Then our salmon order. It was the not fresh at all! My mum and I had the special for the day which was the salmon. Our tongues and mouth were so itchy afterwards. Lucky we had an anti histamine medication! Then there was this huge fly that the waitress was fully aware of and did not even do anything! She could have offered to light a candle or something or open the window and let the fly out. But no... she only said "i know right". No one likes to have a fly flying around you while you eat. All in all we paid $100.50 for 3 meals (1 really badly cooked steak and 2x almost rotten salmon that made us ITCH!) this place is too expensive, bad customer service, small serving and bad food. Better to drive to margaret river town to eat a decent meal.

Great atmosphere and great food, a good variety of beers. The best place to go after a great day at the beach for a feed and drink.

The quality of the experience does not reflect the price...it's not bad, but it's not worth $7 for 5 olives. Drop the prices and it would be better.

Just happened to turn up at happy hour between five and six we ordered pork belly bites calamari,salad and a Thai beef salad they are all fantastic the pork belly bites were to die for and it came in at around 50 bucks for two of us. Definitely recommend this place
