Washington, DC Edition: The Common

The Commons: Roasted Mushroom Flatbread

This was actually our second meal at The Commons, the restaurant at The College Park Marriott Hotel & Conference Center. We also had a light breakfast here yesterday, but opted for some of the a la carte options instead of their rather impressive breakfast buffet. We stayed in our room in Hyatsville today since we had some work to do, since we enjoyed our breakfast we decided The Commons would do for a quick dinner before hitting the road back to NY.

We started with the Roasted Mushroom Flatbread topped with arugula & goat cheese. This was seriously good. We couldn't leave any of it behind and wound up finishing it off even though this left little room for our mains:

• Baked Ham & Gruyere Cheese, toasted country loaf, Dijon mustard, served with a green salad  
• Bacon Cheddar Burger, lettuce, tomato, sesame bun

This is definitely several cuts above your typical hotel restaurant which makes this Marriott a really nice option for visiting the DC area without paying the premium for a hotel within the city.
