I've been to several of the Common Man family or restaurants and this is similar to them. On the inside it looks sort of like Common Man Merrimack, but rather than a restored 1800 house it is a restored 1800 mill building, with a 37 room hotel, a bar, and a cafe. It has lots of wood and brick, a roaring fireplace, and is more spacious. You pass through the hotel lobby to get to the restaurant, so you already feel like a guest. Service is very personal and attentive. There are a number of microbrews on tap, but not the greatest choice. There are a wide range of appetizers and small plates. I had the Reuben bites and they were fantastic and filling. The chicken pot pie was good, not great. Some of the chicken was a bit stringy. It was filling, with a great crust. The burger was fine; the flatbread was a real flatbread, not a pizza, and good. We were too full to try the tempting deserts. It's a pub style, comfort food kind of menu. Something for everyone. Very casual, not fancy, but still very enjoyable. Maybe if we had ordered more tasty food, I would have given it five stars. I think it would be a fun hotel to stay at, and be able to come downstairs to the pub or restaurant.
