I would have given this restaurant zero stars if I could, as we ended up leaving without placing an order. We made reservations to celebrate my college graduation and were seated right away. However, that's all we did—sit. Someone suggested we try the buffet, but we requested menus instead. Out of seven of us, only five received water, and we continued to sit there. After almost half an hour, during which the only other diners left, we decided to pack up and head to Silver Diner, which turned out to be a much better choice! As we were leaving, the waitress seemed surprised and asked if we were leaving because I was late. The real reason is that we were completely ignored.
My family and I arrived on time to our reservation. The building was buzzing with graduates but the restaurant was not as busy as we thought it might be. However, we viewed that as a good thing; therefore it was intimate. The food was delicious with exceptional service. My family is still talking about the food and plan to visit the restaurant again. I recommend the habanero wings, fried brussel sprouts, and Maryland crab soup (which is literally THE BEST we have ever experienced by far, and that is a feat)! Keep up the good work and thank you for a dynamic experience!
Although it can be a bit expensive, this restaurant is exceptional. Occasionally, I choose to stay at the hotel during Battle Assembly (Army Reserve) as I prefer to avoid the morning commute between Springfield, VA, and Adelphi, MD (I drill at ARL). The restaurant is the ideal spot for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner.
We had breakfast here. Nice decor and atmosphere. Breakfast bar was sufficient but not spectacular. Food was ok. Coffee was good. Very friendly servers but way too few of them to be able to avoid long waits for anything needed, like to be seated, take the order, bring the check.

This restaurant simply is not staffed properly. There is rarely a host present to check you in and finding a server often requires a walk around the restaurant. The food comes in a reasonable time, but then the server doesn't show back up to check on the food.
We chose to eat at The Common because it was convenient but ended up really enjoying it. The atmosphere was bright; the service was attentive, and the food was very good. We were visiting our son and had a lovely time; thank you.
Highly recommend The Commons at Mariott for dinner. Great food, amazing service and a really nice good paced/timed dinner out with our terp!!Recommend the crab cake sandwich and the bourbon cake for dessert.
The hotel lobby bar is quite average. The service is satisfactory, but there's nothing particularly noteworthy about the place.
