We were looking for a light dinner and went up to the Skybar above the Commonwealth Restaurant. The bar, as expected, has a limited menu but a variety of choices. The prices were good and the food was average. You had to order your food and drinks at the bar, but the food was delivered to the table about 20... More

The skybar is a fun favorite and like no other in Cville. Wine selection is wonderful with a great sommlier to help you make selections. He always helps us make a great selection. Many wonderful things on the menu with the duck being our favorite.

There were heaters all around to keep it warm, but I definitely feel that this place would be a better stop in the warmer months. Even still, it... More

We had a really good experience last night at Commonwealth. They quickly juggled to seat our group of eight. The service was once again top notch. Good beers, a lovely bottle of wine. All of the appetizers, cheese and charcuterie were excellent. They missed on a few of the entrees. The special fish dish was bland and missing the crab... More

This was our first visit to the Commonwealth Restaurant, prior to a concert at the nearby Paramount Theater. By 6:30 PM on a stormy Friday evening, the restaurant had nearly filled up, so I imagine that finding a table on weekends may require a wait. They do not take reservations in advance. The menu is varied and interesting. The food... More
