Uncommon Ground

Flavorless

My fiance and I went to Uncommon Ground for dinner recently and I'm still on the fence about how I feel.  I like food a lot and I like to be blown away by restaurants, but I was not blown away.  The food was actually very good, but the atmosphere was kind of off- a little loud and we got a bad table in the middle of a high traffic area.  I ordered a martini at the bar before dinner and had to send it back because it was really watery, and I saw another woman do the same.  If you're in the area and are thinking of stopping in, definitely do because its worth it.  If you're thinking of making a special trip- not worth it.

Listen, nothin' better than getting a flight of beers at the bar, great deal for 8 bucks, especially when one of the beers is a Goose Island Baudoinia.  Super nice and knowledgable bartenders.  Taking a date? GREAT IDEA!!! Not trying too hard but still nice and hip.  The only problem is that there is usually a small Filipino man in the bathroom polishing the metal parts of the urinal, I'm not sure if he works there or has some sort of mental deficiency, but either way I guess he's kind of like their mascot.  He has one eye and great hair.  Anyways I love uncommon ground, go there, have a great night.
