    I was expecting more than what I got from this restaurant. The menu was OK, but the salmon dish was soooooo small… it looks so sad! It’s not enough for an adult, even with starters…That is very expensive to have a piece of salmon for $27…

    Had a really nice evening at Uncommon Ground! There is definitely an upscale / hipster vibe, but it's still casual. They have an impressive drink selection, and the food was terrific! I was especially impressed by the gnocchi, and would definitely recommend it. I will be coming back! Just FYI it is a little expensive compared to most restaurants in the immediate area.

    Maybe this restaurant was decent when it opened, but now it's terrible. It is completely overpriced for what it is. The salmon was literally a frozen fillet from Costco. The "crostinis" were basic store white bread soaked in oil. The only thing that was ok was the steak. Service was terrible. We got salad before our drinks. If you are willing to pay these prices, I would go to L. Wood's.

    A very unique place. The only organic rooftop farm in all of America. I had the pumpkin ravioli; it was not as flavorful as I expected. I hate to sound like an old fogie, but I didn't like the fact that you don't get a paper menu when you come in. Everything is scan the QR code etc. I understand they adhere to strict sustainability, and I am in favor of that, but I don't think it's too much to ask to get a menu or a paper receipt.

    This is such an enjoyable place to have brunch in a garden and listen to Frank Sinatra. They make a really great lemon pepper aioli here. If you're looking for farm fresh to table, then this place is it.

    For organic, I expected my socks to be knocked off. I felt it was good local food...nothing too special. Also, dont let the organic wittbier go warm. Not a good taste. The ice cream was fabulous though. Built for two or more.

    My husband and I came to uncommon ground for the first time to see a friend play at one of their Thursday night shows. Upon entry there appeared to be no one in the entire restaurant (customers or employees). Though we did see a bunch of people sitting outside on the patio. We were greeted after a few minutes and directed to go sit in the back room where the stage was. The atmosphere of the restaurant is laid back and casual. All the employees were very nice, but they seemed to be understaffed. It took us about 20 minutes to get one flight of beer which was delicious. My favorite was the BC Kolsch made with black currants. It took us about another 20 minutes to get another glass of beer. We still had not received our food yet but after the waiter checked on it we received it quickly and it was still hot but it did take about an hour to get our order of the Beyond Burger and vegan Cesar side salad. They did apologize, like I said it seemed like they were understaffed. The music was great! It was a really fun time and worth the $10 ticket. The lettuce is grown right there on the roof and you could tell! It was so fresh and delicious. The burger and fries were satisfying also. I would enjoy coming here again to sit on the patio outside on a nice day.

    Enjoyed a bloody Mary and app/soup at the bar. Bartender was great, and makes an amazing bloody with pickle juice added. So good! Sweet potato fries were cooked perfectly, served with a goat cheese dip that I will probably dream about. The blended celeriac and coconut milk soup was an unexpected flavor, but delicious nonetheless. We will definitely come back and visit during the summer!

    First of all, we were there on a beautiful day so sitting outside with all the gorgeous plants was a treat. The meal was great! We did brunch and I loved that they used their freshly grown veggies in the meal. Our server was was so sweet and helpful. This place will definitely become one of go to favorites.

    Nice location. Has its own parking lot. Nice seating inside and outside. No rooftop seating as that is where the vegetables grow. Menu is decent. I found it to be about 4 stars. Decent quality. Some food items were great while others were ok.

    Delicious food and amazing atmosphere. We had aesthetics and gourmet pleasure. The service was good as well. I definitely recommend to check out this place during summer.

    Lovely place with a garden on the patio. While there the bartender came out to this Garden and picked fresh mint! You're not going to find that very often in the big city! Also the service was incredible the waiter was very professional. We had a great time. We will definitely go back again. I highly recommend this restaurant. Also the food was great and the dessert was even better.

    Uncommon Ground has been my go-to place to eat during the pandemic. I always feel safe. They have easy guidelines to ensure the safest possible dining experience. The food is good. The drinks are great. The atmosphere is relaxing. The best part was the small kids play area near the outdoor seating. As a parent of a young one, the chance to have a conversation and dine with a friend while having eyes on my little one was so appreciated.

    Food was really disappointing. The descriptions sound so much better than the flavor. I also had the worst Bloody Mary of my life 😭.Service was really good and i hear the live shows are great. I'll be back for a second try for these reasons and the great outdoor space.

    Food was good. Very vegetarian friendly. Fairly prompt service despite a busy time of day. The garden/patio has a nice ambience and a play area for children. Would highly recommend as a family dinner spot if you have kids under 10, and/or a mix of vegetarian and omnivores in your group.

    The Uncommon Ground experience was great. I am enthusiastic about the dining life and service the restaurant gave me. I had a wholesome three-course meal with two beverages.
