4.5/5 Food Quality and Overall Value
If you go to District Commons you must start out with their Hot Pretzel Baguette that is accompanied by Beer Butter Mustard. It comes fresh out of the kitchen, still steaming hot and it will only cost you $2. It is perfect for sharing with the whole table. I decided to start out with the Arugula Salad ($10) because it has Pimento Cheese Fritters and a Green Tomato Chutney dressing. The salad is an ample portion and the cheese fritters add a creamy kick to create a unique salad. I wanted to keep my meal light by choosing one of their flatbreads ($12), with roasted sweet peppers, goat cheese, basil pesto and pine nuts.
The flat bread is crispy and light, but it doesn’t leave you feeling hungry, I even had a few slices to take home that were still good after a quick 30 seconds in the microwave. Although I was too full for dessert I secretly ogled the customers at the table next to us when they ordered the Boardwalk Funnel cake with a heaping serving of whipped cream and butterscotch sauce. Maybe next time I will have to indulge! Finally, both the hostess and server were extremely friendly and although the restaurant was busy at the tail-end of Friday happy hour all of the food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. I love when professional service adds to the overall food experience. Although District Commons might be a little pricey for the average college student’s budget it is worth it for a special occasion or for when family comes into the city.
