I ate at the Common man recently with a large group of friends. The evening started at the bar which was convivial and the bar tender was nice and efficient as the place was very crowded.We had a great bottle of wine then went to dinner. I ordered the homemade ravioli with artichoke. the pasta was velvety soft and fresh.... More

My wife and I ate here on the recommendation of the Inn where we stayed for the weekend. The meal we had was very, very good. We shared the Carpaccio to start, and it was very tasty. There seemed to be different layers of flavors in the dish. My wife had the grilled chicken, one of the best prepared chicken... More

I had to try the octopus, my wife was less adventurous. Food was great, atmosphere met our expectations, service was good enough. We dressed up but not required here. Great place for a nice night out, would highly recommend if you can spend a little more.

I have not been in this restaurant for many years and decided to give it a try again. The place used to be more like a couples place.

Mostlly local food, mostly cooked from scratch. Everything on menu is interesting. Great atention to detail. Had not been for several years.

The Common Man is the most reliably excellent restaurant in the Mad River Valley. We went there for the Thursday Night pasta special. The service we very good, food excellent and the ambiance was typical Vermont. A wood burning fireplace in a converted barn. We shared the lemon bar dessert which was excellent!!

Jan 19 / couples - We were in Wastefield for a long weekend and made a reservation to this place without knowing what to expect. Wow!!! Was I surprised when I got into this place. I could have just sat there for hours in front of the large fireplace, it is very well decorated and very "chalet" feeling, very cozy.... More

I ate here with my two teenage kids during a ski trip. The food was on the pricey side, but very good. We had a reservation (very early, which was all I could get on the holiday weekend) and were seated right away. Service was fast and attentive. They had a fairly small menu, but with enough variety that all... More
