My husband and I went for breakfast here as we stayed at the Kimpton Hotel Monaco. When you walk into the restaurant the place is absolutely gorgeous and the ambiance is beautiful. Service was great, but I had one (small) issue with my breakfast plate. I ordered the frittata, thinking that it would be a thicker piece (a normal frittata), however it was almost paper thin with huge chunks of red & yelllow tomatoes, along with huge chunks of green onion. Not your ideal frittata!

Excellent place for dinner or drinks! Great bar with unique cocktails and a good beer selection. The food was outstanding. Everything we tried was fantastic and this was the best wedge salad I've ever had.

Breakfast at The Commoner was phenomenal. I had the steak and eggs, and whatever they season the steak with is to die for. I don't know how they make the potatoes, but it is how all potatoes should be made, forever. My scrambled eggs were perfect, not too dry, not too wet. My husband had the hash, and gave me some of his confit duck, and I swear I heard angels singing. Our waitress was a darling. Food came out fast. Atmosphere was great and comfortable. I cannot say enough good things.

Wasn’t able to have breakfast at 8:15AM here as per the host: there’s only one cook and one server before 10AM working and there was a line of people waiting to be allowed to sit in a mostly empty room ….

The Commoner is a must-visit destination for any foodie looking for exceptional cuisine and outstanding service in a truly unique setting. From the moment you step into the restaurant, you're transported to a world of rustic elegance and contemporary charm.One standout dish that I tried at The Commoner was the chicken and waffles, which was simply amazing. The dish was expertly crafted with perfectly crispy chicken and fluffy waffles that were a true delight to the senses. The dish was elevated with a drizzle of sweet and savory sauce, making for a truly unforgettable culinary experience.In addition to the chicken and waffles, I also had the pleasure of trying the seasonal salad, which was a fresh and healthy take on a classic dish. The salad was perfectly balanced and paired beautifully with the freshly baked bread.The service at The Commoner is also exceptional, with friendly and knowledgeable staff that are passionate about the food they serve. The warm and welcoming atmosphere makes for a truly enjoyable dining experience that will leave you feeling both satisfied and inspired.But what truly sets The Commoner apart is the building itself, which is a true masterpiece of industrial design and contemporary style. The space is beautifully designed with rustic elements like exposed brick and wood beams, as well as modern touches like sleek lighting and contemporary art.Overall, The Commoner is a must-visit destination for anyone looking for exceptional cuisine, outstanding service, and a truly unique dining experience. The restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients, expert preparation, and outstanding hospitality make it a true standout in the Pittsburgh dining scene. Don't miss the chance to try the amazing chicken and waffles and experience the cool and unique setting of The Commoner!

Some of the best food I have ever had. The breakfast potatoes were a miracle. Pork and sausage A++. If you’re in Pittsburg, you gotta go there. The location is also top notch.

The crispy potato appetizer was delicious! It came out super hot and crispy, exactly what you want in a potato. The burger was excellent as well! Our server was attentive, but not overbearing. We will definitely be back soon.

Brunch at The Commoner was exceptional. I always order Eggs Benedict, and consider properly poached eggs a sign that the kitchen knows what they're doing. Not only were my eggs perfect, the hollandaise was incredible--rich but with a perfect hit of acid--and the house-made English muffins were good enough to eat straight up. My husband enjoyed eggs with grilled kielbasa and perogies with fried onions and a chive sour cream sauce. Perfectly Pittsburgh.

Food was average, not worth the price IMO. The menu looked promising, but not a lot of flavor.
