Stroll recently brought together business partners from Ardsley Park, Isle of Hope, Long Point, Southbridge, and Westbrook for a night of networking at Common Restaurant. The evening featured neighborhood-themed cocktails, warm conversations, and new connections in a refined setting.

Led by Executive Chef Sean Freeman and General Manager Michael Yant, Common offers a modern interpretation of Southern hospitality through thoughtful cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu includes a curated cold bar, shareable small bites, elegant entrées, and desserts from Trombone Bakery.

The Room, Common’s private dining space, is available for intimate wine pairings or larger gatherings. Their flexible event packages accommodate parties of 10 to 80 guests. The Prelude Menu, served from 3 to 6 p.m., features light fare ideal for sharing, while the five-course tasting menu ($65) provides a complete dining experience—from bread service and palate cleanser to entrée and dessert.

Wine plays a central role in Common’s identity. Wine Director Shawn Crowley and Certified Sommelier Danny Skalak oversee the restaurant’s award-winning cellar, which includes more than 30 rotating by-the-glass options and a broad selection of bottles.

Common’s Wine Club offers notable perks for $95 a year for those looking to deepen their wine knowledge. Membership includes monthly retail events, cellar access, personalized recommendations, and quarterly tastings, all priced at cost.

Whether savoring a chef’s tasting, hosting a private event, or discovering new varietals, Common creates space for connection—where fine food and exceptional wine meet genuine hospitality.
