Common Grill Description:

Common Grill

Self-described as an upscale American bistro including fine dining seafood, pasta, steaks and many other choices. Reservations for groups of 6 or more, call ahead add-on to waiting list option for smaller groups. Located in old downtown Chelsea on Park St. between South St and Middle St, parking in the rear lot. Ask for the 'Back Door' for carry-out orders, the back door is just that (a back door with green canvas awning out to the rear parking lot.) Craig Common is the owner and executive chef of this fine dining establishment, a restaurant that has received accolades from Gourmet Magazine, The Ann Arbor News and the Detroit News.
The name of this establishment always elicits questions, yet proprietor Craig Common certainly doesn't have to worry about his restaurant being ordinary. It has been a destination from the start, when Common---an alumnus of the Chuck Muer organization---took over a defunct furniture store in the town not far from Ann Arbor and chalked the first listings on the blackboard. The menu has expanded greatly over the years to include more elaborate presentations such as Chilean sea bass with steamed clams, asparagus and pancetta and ravioli that's garnished with shrimp, lobster and goat cheese. Just about everything is house-made, from dressings to desserts. Service is topnotch in this lively room with Edwin Hopper-style murals and an open kitchen.
