The Commons Local Eating House

The Commons is styled like a farmstyle eating house but with restaurant quality food. Its situated in Darlinghurst but also a short walk from Town Halll station.
On Sundays they have a reduced menu, but at amazing prices. Most of the entrees are $10-$15, all mains are $20 and the first glass of house wine is $5. An offer too good to resist.
Personally I was amazed by how good the food and service was. I'll definitely be coming back here and recommend all of you to give it a try :)
We ordered the sourdough toast w/anchovy butter ($7). I've never had toast with anchovy butter but this was really good. There was no fishy taste, it was more of a salty savoury taste. Definitely recommended.
We shared the stuffed zuchinni flowers ($14) which were amazing. Seriously so ordering these again.
I absolutely love gnocchi. If a restaurant serves gnocchi I'll often order it. This was by far the best gnocchi I've ever had. The mushrooms, the flavour.. delicious! The pasta was so rich and creamy. Actually I'm really glad we shared all the dishes as this was quite heavy and probably too much for one person. My favourite dish of the night :)
The rest of our mains were all amazing. We shared the Fillet Mignon, the Crumbed Latchet and the Slow Cooked BBQ Ribs and Chicken (As well as the gnocchi) between four and were absolutely stuffed.
To top it off we then had a huge chocolate cake called The Duchess from Christopher's cakes. Now this was no ordinary cake, this was a massive cake that would easily have fed a party of thirty.
We actually ended up sharing the cake with the waitresses/waiters/kitchen and also the table of 6 people next to us and still managed to take a quarter home (Yes. It was that big.).
An amazing night. Thank you to the Commons for their wonderful and warm hospitality. We will be seeing you more often :)
The Good: Warm service, casual atmosphere, delicious food, gnocchi!! and great value
The Bad: Nope. None whatsoever.
oh nice. I walked past this place the other day wondering if it'd be any good and whether it'd be appropriate for a date night or not. will have to give it a try sometime!
