  As my typical behavior, I arrived early for a private party at, The ART Bar upstairs in the Penthouse at the Angad Arts Hotel. I arrived early on purpose so I could check-out the bar in, Commonwealth. When I arrived between 5 and 5:30 PM, there were a scattering of filled tables in the dining room and only two guest seated at the bar. So it was real easy for me to take a stool at the very contemporary bar. After taking my seat, the bartender quickly greeted me and said she'd be with me shortly. I could see she was busy mixing and shaking other customers cocktails, so I waited patiently. When she approached me, she came with a tall glass of water, menus for both food and adult beverages. Once I saw the Vanilla Old Fashioned on the cocktail menu, I knew what I wanted. One of my favorite classic cocktails is an Old Fashioned and vanilla is my favorite flavoring. So combining both of them had to be a winner and it was. The cocktail was strong, but with the taste of vanilla it went down smoothly. I dad to pace myself, I was tempted to chug it and enjoy it in one big gulp. I told the bartender I was not dining, that I just stopped by before going upstairs to the private party. She was still attentive and followed up with while I sipped my cocktail. While I sat there, I enjoyed being entertained by her skills making other cocktails. Only detail that was missed, was placing a cocktail napkin under my drink. I am old school and like that presentation and protection from the moisture. As I watched her, she did napkins for others, she just missed mine. Reading the food menu was very tempting and seeing the food being served around me, it all looked very good. As I was leaving to attend my party, the bar had filled up and so had the other tables in the dining room. I'm pretty sure I'll be back for the full experience, very soon.

  I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and had breakfast and lunch here during the entire stay. The food and service was amazing! The food was next level, seriously! You must try the sliders with french fries for lunch and the banana split for breakfast. I didn't eat dinner here but it was reported to be sure popular.

  The food was absolutely amazing. Stayed at the hotel attached and ate here basically every day. Everything I tried off the menu was phenomenal. The service was excellent and everything was clean. If I’m ever back in St. Louis I will definitely be returning here for a meal or two!

  My husband and I have had breakfast at Commonwealth several times and have always enjoyed it, which made today’s experience especially disappointing. After being seated, we waited about 20 minutes without a server acknowledging our table. The restaurant was not busy, and only after we flagged down the manager did someone come over to assist us. I ordered a latte and we placed our food order. The food arrived well before the latte, and when the latte finally came, it was barely warm. The cinnamon roll was served cold, as though it had been taken straight from a box with icing added on top. In the past, the quiche was served with bread. When I asked for a croissant, I was told they no longer offer them, so I ordered an English muffin instead. When the check arrived, I noticed a $6 charge for bread. The server explained that the charge was listed on the menu, but this was not clearly communicated when I placed the order. It is disappointing to see such a decline in service. When the upstairs dining area was open, the food was consistently excellent, the service was prompt, and the staff was welcoming. Based on this experience, I would not recommend breakfast here unless you have plenty of time and a great deal of patience.

  The food is good, not spectacular, but well composed and good quality of ingredients. We had dinner before a show and then breakfast the next day. Dinner plates were well plated and everything was good, the spinach artichoke dip which I was not excited about my wife ordering was spectacular, rich and creamy with lightly toasted baguette, not too hard or too soft. Breakfast was good, not a huge menu but plenty of options, again everything was well composed and well plated with good flavors. I would eat here again and probably will as this is a great location for either the symphony or shows at the fox. One thing I liked was that they have a dinner salad option with quick easy add a protein options if you just want something lighter yet still filling. I didnt try a salad on this visit but certainly will in the future. The staff was friendly, not anything to stick out but certainly appropriate. The atmosphere was nothing to be impressed with. My wife said it looked like a diner and it was a very noisy room as there is really nothing soft to absorb any of the noise. The beer selection both here and at the hotel bar is pretty abysmal but the bartenders make mixed drinks quite well. Dinner for two was almost $200 with tip and breakfast for two was $50. I though the pricing was fair.
