Reviews for Communal in Provo, UT

I have been to Communal a few times and this most recent time was probably the least impressive to me. I am not sure if I was... more unimpressed with the customer service. One of the servers was not friendly. I would rate the customer service between a 2-3stars since he was not welcoming and did not smile. The food was decent but the pork was a little dry. The flavor was reallygreat. I did not get a picture of asparagus but that was very delicious. However, the portion sizes for the asparagus was sosmall. The meat from Chinese buns was a little dry and the buns were extremely chewy. I would not recommend the Chinese buns. Read more

What a mouthwatering treat for your taste buds! Communal restaurant is a flavorful experience. Please note the menu is seasonal... and changes. My wife and I ordered one starter, protein, starch and vegetable dish and split them. It was plenty of food. We gotthe bao buns which was my favorite thing. Flank steak, fingerling potatoes and asparagus. Everything was fancy tasty. Theservice was great and it was a wonderful experience. Read more

Heard so many good things about this place from foodie friends and it did not disappoint! This is a true farm-to-table dining... experience! Loved the ambiance: small, exclusive, quaint, and just lovely. We were warmly greeted by the host, and seated atthe best table there was (we did have reservations on a Saturday night). Our server was personable and just really down toearth, heard his recommendations and they were spot on. Ordered the meat and cheese platter for starters. The steak wasprobably one of the best steaks we've had in a while. The trout dish was lovely - slight crisp on the skin side and soft andflaky on the top. Normally I do not like to consume fish skin, but it was slightly crispy and had so much flavor that I did notmind it and cleaned the plate! The chorizo cornbread dish was to die for and was a fantastic choice. Overall, it was awonderful first-time experience! Can't wait to go back. Read more

The food was remarkably delicious! They just opened recently to offering brunch Mon -Fri and not just Saturday. Such a great... menu for breakfast! We had a Hash Root bowl, biscuits and Sage gravy , and a coconut milk, chia pudding with pineapple andcooked coconut flakes. I split mine with my significant other and it was perfect. Even another person could have filled up theirbelly on the generous amounts. This place though is definitely the taste you get with quality over quantity.! If you want aclassy, sophisticated place to dine, with delicious savoring food, come to The Commune!!! So glad I did! Read more

AMAZING! My husband and I came for a date night, and were so impressed. From start to finish, the service was stellar. Food was... next level. We were lucky enough to sit next to the chefs, and watch the whole process. The staff took the time to talk with us,and answer all our questions. There was not a single thing we ate that we did not love. I can’t say enough good things aboutour experience and the food. We are definitely going to be back soon. Read more

“Communal” is a good way to describe the atmosphere here. The tables are closer together than the average restaurant, but... the food makes up for it! My wife and I had the pork tenderloin with mustard seeds, greens, and funeral potatoes. I didn’teven give the pork a chance to melt in my mouth, but my wife will attest that it does! Delicious. I’d recommend not lettingyour eyes be bigger than your stomach here, a full course meal for two means you’ll both be walking out with a take-out boxafter dinner. Read more

Decided to go for an early Valentines dinner in Utah County as we have had some success with places such as Black Sheep. We... choose Communal right in the middle of downtown based on previous reviews. For so many reasons, this might be our new go to for“special date night.” 1)The food was perfect and unique. The complimentary bread needs special mention, they say it’s notquite sourdough but whatever it is, it was amazing. We choose the persimmons (which I though was weird but my wife said wasamazing), funeral potatoes and the sweet potato as sides. If you like cheese and hash browns, the funeral potatoes are heaven,holy frijoles. Our server recommend the pork loins. Not only were the huge but cooked to perfection. They were served on a bedof creamy mashed potatoes which was probably the only big miss, they lacked any real flavor which I guess was meant to be. 2)Theservice was juuuuuust right. Good service, now more than ever, is hard to find. Our server (I forgot her name, sorry!!) alwayshad our drinks filled and allowed us to have a good conversation. The small design of the place allowed for us to interact withthe two cooks and pretty much every other staff. We even had a conversation about our favorite breakfast places. So cool. 3)Thecost was what you would expect of a “nicer place.” Our meal and a soda cost 95 bucks including tip. Not something I would dooften, but will still do on special occasions. 4)The setting is the real star of the show. On their website they talk about thesmall settings and a “communal” type place. It really does live up to the hype. At first it was a little weird to set soclose to someone but we found a perfect balance with those around us. One group we just did not talk to at all and that wasfine. The others around us were super nice and we shared recommendations about types of food and even places to eat. There wasan older nice couple from Oregon who were the best and we learned about their family. Super weird, I know, bu Read more

Nothing bad to say, except that it can be a bit pricey. The flavors here are amazing though, and the presentation is beautiful.... The brunch menu is just as fun as their dinner menu; definitely recommend for a fun night out, or special occasion. Go with agroup if you can since portion sizes are meant to be shared! Read more
