🌟News from The Common Restaurant 🌟

Dear beloved community,

We faced an unexpected challenge this past weekend, as a small fire broke out at The Common Restaurant. Thankfully, no one was there or hurt, but our hearts are heavy as we come to terms with the damage it has caused.

As many of you know, The Common is more than just a restaurant; it’s a gathering place for friends, families, and cherished moments. A place many of you say has a "vibe of home away from home". We were all set to reopen this Thursday, but we will need to postpone our plans as we focus on assessing the smoke damage and working to bring it back to it's beauty.

We want to assure you that we are doing everything we can to bounce back from this. Our team is committed to restoring our beloved space and getting back to serving you the food in the atmosphere you know and love.

Thank you for your understanding and patience during this challenging time. We are grateful for each and every one of you and will keep you updated on our progress. Together, we’ll rise from this setback and come back strong! We look forward to welcoming you back with big hugs, some more tears and a lot of cheers 🥲

With love,

Tim, Cass & The Common Family ❤️
