The Commoner

The Commoner is in Hotel Monaco in downtown Pittsburgh.  The menu includes some unique dishes that were very good.  We started out by sharing a couple orders of mussels and devils on horseback (which were bacon wrapped dates with blue cheese - delicious!).  The kale salad had pork belly croutons and apple cider vinaigrette which was a tasty combination.  Out of the 7 of us that were there, I think half of us ordered the scallops.  They were served with greens, apple-chardonnay reduction and a beet risotto cake.  Once I got over the thought that the beet risotto cake resembled a slab of raw beef, it was delicious!  The price point is high, but the portion sizes were large.  If you are looking to go to dinner to celebrate something, I definitely would recommend The Commoner.
