Service was lovely, the ambiance is wonderful. The food itself was only okay for the price. Between my partner and I, we ordered the quinoa risotto, funeral potato croquette, sweet potato gratin, and wagyu filet. The sweet potato gratin was nice but more suited for a dessert option - very sweet with the oat crumble on top, would have loved this with ice cream on top for dessert but felt oddly situated with the rest of our dinner. Quinoa risotto was really wet. Tasted okay (a little boring) but texturally was confusing. The croquette was good, but my first bite had hot and cool temperature differences. In fairness, I did not mention this to my waiter. Warmed up later as leftovers was great. The filet - no complaints! Good cut and plenty of meat for $75. Figured I'd write given it ended up being just under $200 all in. Again, great service and cute spot but the food was very meh overall. read more

This is our favorite restaurant in Provo. The food is always unique and delicious. Dustin makes us feel like VIP's every time. Save room for the butterscotch pudding! read more

I come here at least 3x a month and it's nearly always for the Farm Breakfast. That omelette with the melty cheese inside, crispy bacon and perfectly cooked potatoes are my dream come true. I know everything is good because everyone I come with tells me so but for this gluten free, nightshade sensitive mama, nothing is better than this elevated basic. I love the coziness and excellent service as well. read more

As expected, outstanding food. Somewhat limited on gluten-free and dairy-free, but we were able to find something. It would be nice if the plates were pre-heated so the meal would stay hot longer... Definitely plan to come back for special occasions though. read more

We visited Communal in Provo while in town for my nephew's graduation and invited him and his girlfriend to join us for lunch. It turned out to be a lovely, easygoing way to celebrate. The menu leans American fusion, with fresh, well-balanced dishes that felt thoughtful without being fussy. What stood out most was the ambiance--it had a warm, relaxed vibe that reminded me of home in the SF Bay Area. A great spot for a casual but meaningful meal, especially when you want good food in a comfortable, welcoming setting. read more

Lived in this city for years and I can't believe it took me this long to check it out. Parking is fairly easy, there is a garage near by and lots of street parking + small lot behind it. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. Our waiter was really nice and everything we got was really flavorful. The place itself is also very cute. Clean and modern inside. Will be checking out the dinner menu soon. read more

Food was amazing! Farm to table, fresh ingredients in every dish. The crab cake benedict and fried chicken biscuits and gravy were a favorite with the group. The portions are generous so come hungry. The service was far greater than the food though! We had two reservations for six each, and our server quickly offered us a 12 top in the private room. It worked out perfectly for my boisterous family. Despite being busy our server continued to go above and beyond from french press coffees, special food orders, and even a group photo outside. Highly recommend this place, and I will be back for dinner service soon! read more

Came here for breakfast for the first time while in Utah for school and finally got to try this spot with my husband. We're visiting from CA and have been here for a few weeks now. The breakfast was really good, and Dustin provided great service. We enjoyed it enough to make a reservation for dinner the same day. Dinner was okay overall. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, crispy potato salad, and wagyu steak. The side dishes were generous and very tasty. However, the steak was a bit disappointing, as it tasted more like a tri-tip than what we expected from wagyu. The service at dinner was noticeably different from our breakfast experience. We waited quite a while before being greeted, and the drinks also took a while to be served. Additionally, the tables are placed very close together, and the noise level from nearby tables made it difficult to have a conversation with my husband. read more

I got the shrimp and grits for their lunch menu. The sauce was amazing! I just wish our food came out faster. We waited quite a while for our food to come out. My mom was also seated close to the window and it was hot inside. No curtains either. Everything else was great other than that though. just know that it will take a looong time before you get your food. If you can wait, then wait. read more

Five stars for food, two stars for service. I went here on a Tuesday night for dinner. The food was surprisingly creative and exceeded my expectations. Diners are encouraged to order one item for every two people from each of the following sections: "for the table," "starches," "mains," and "veggies." The wagyu beef and crispy potato salad were exceptional. The beef was beautifully cooked and a "Chilean style" chimichurri added pleasant heat and vibrant orange color. The potato salad was so fun to eat and a textural delight. We also ordered the goat cheese "for the table," which was an innovative alternative to the burrata seen in the appetizer section of so many menus. The bread served with the cheese had a wonderful char, which provided a delicious bitter counterbalance to the sweetness of the cheese. The shishito peppers were well prepared and seasoned, but not nearly as special as the other plates. I could have made this one at home. Right before we left, I overheard the front of house lead tell a couple who just arrived that there would be a short wait because the people seated by the window were taking their "sweet time" in leaving. His disdain was presumably in reference to my husband and me (we were leaving exactly 90 minutes and $180 after being seated). Needless to say, this very unprofessional behavior left a bad taste in my mouth after an otherwise very enjoyable meal. read more

Definitely overpriced and seems like they're just trying to be too fancy. The food was OK, but absolutely nothing special.

My favorite food in all of Utah! Lobster was unreal and the goat cheese is my fav ever. Love coming here for any and every occasion. read more

Communal is always an excellent dining experience. We have been there for large family group dinners and many smaller visits.

Loved it all! But especially the food. Many of their plates are for two. So don't be scared off by the price.

Nothing and I mean NOTHING makes my week like finding a new AMAZING brunch food spot! My husband and I found this absolute gem of a spot while visiting Provo for the day and it was seriously one of the best brunches we've had anywhere in the state! He had the chorizo gravy biscuit at the suggestion of our wonderful server Dustin and practically licked the bowl clean. I had the Farm breakfast with hands down THE best little cheese omelet anywhere. We split the buttermilk pancakes and had to try some of their house strawberry rhubarb compote. My husband and I agreed that the laid back ambiance and attentiful service really pushed this Communal over the top! Do yourself a favor and GO try them out! Have a cup of carmelized pear tea too! Served and steapped table side! read more

Had the beet salad, surf and turf, and squash. The beet salad was amazing. The fresh bread rolls were nice. The surf and turf flavor was great and it was cooked perfectly. I wish they had added some more crab given the price point. Wasn't the biggest fan of the squash. Maybe more seasoning? Service was great. On top of everything. Great explanation of food when we had questions. This place is small and intimate. Not for small kids. read more

My two daughters were in town for a wedding and were looking for somewhere to have breakfast near our Airbnb. Our host recommended Communal and after viewing the menu we were intrigued. My oldest daughter had the Funeral Potato Benedict, my younger daughter ordered the Shasuka, I had the dirty Brussels and we all ordered a mimosa. Everything was so delicious and beautiful. The service was nice and attentive without being too much. The restaurant is small and cozy. read more

My wife and I went for her birthday and it was a wonderful experience. The ambience is beautiful, stained glass windows, former jewelry store, so beautiful and open environment. The food was amazing, we got mashed potatoes and blackened carrots, and ribeye steak that was cooked perfectly and shared our meal and had plenty to take home. Service was very friendly and helpful. Christian Singer did a great job and we met the owner and his family who were super friendly and bought us desserts. Thank you for a wonderful evening. I would highly recommend and my wife and I will be going back. read more

A big fail on my part to not take photos of this place, but all the more reason to visit. The location feels home-ish, super comfortable and almost like a trendy spot you'd find in San Fran or NYC. The vibe was chill and the staff was amazing. As it says in the name, the food is communal or family style which was great for our party of 6 work colleagues. We started first with some apps, a watermelon and feta salad, blistered shistos and a charcuterie, which was a good example of how fresh and amazing the rest of the meal would be. We followed that up with the skirt steak, halibut and the pork schnitzel. All was good, but that pork was to die for. Juicy and tender but fried to perfection. SO so good. We also added the rice (simple and good but I am sure could be skipped) and the funeral potato dish. Do two of those. Maybe three.. so good. Lastly... but I should say most importantly. Do not leave Communal without having their butterscotch dessert. We ordered a few, but that butterscotch was perfect. It was light, sweet but not tacky, and so freaking good. An amazing dinner at a very special location in Provo! read more

The restaurant location is great which is at Center Street. Not a lot of parking spots but you can park at the public parking building which is behind. The waiter was nice that told us to share. The food was awesome, especially the homemade pasta. The red is cozy and not a lot of spots, it's better to make a reservation. read more

The Communal is small but has great service and ambiance. I enjoyed the lunch menu at the Communal and ordered the Brussels sprouts, burger, and chicken sandwich.

We come from San Diego and we're road tripping him from Montana when we stopped in Provo for our half way point. We wanted dinner and cocktails. It was hard to find anything good with both but I came across this place and decided to give it a go. It was AMAZING. Such a good concept too to share things. We took our servers advice and got a starter, a protein, a starch and a veg and they were perfect for two. And every single thing was delicious. Service was wonderful. I don't remember our servers name but he was from Hawaii. He was great. Next time we pass through we will def go back. read more

This seems to be a super popular location. About an hour wait when we walked in as a group of 2 on a Tuesday night. We made a reservation for the next day for 4 people and got to try their food. The ambience is nice. There's the sound of chatter, food being cooked, all typical restaurant vibes. I really liked the way the large table was set up. It's a long bar with the table tops on top so no bumping into table legs underneath the table. We ordered the housemade pasta which was beef stroganoff, cous cous risotto, the New York strip steak and the organic roasted herb chicken. I enjoyed the carbs more than the protein at this restaurant haha. The texture of the cous cous in the risotto was really pleasant. The flavor of the risotto was pretty mild, but definitely had me reaching for it more than once. The chicken was good but we had a hard time sharing it due to it being one piece. The steak was flavorful but we found it to be a little fatty and a bit chewier than our liking. I also ordered a house made drink. The lime drink I believe. So refreshing. I definitely wanted to order another one but held back haha. I would say it's a nice place to check out. Their menu does seem to change seasonally so I'd check their menu to see what they're offering for the day if you don't like surprises. read more

I had a party of two and we went there on a Tuesday evening. It was relatively busy as a small seating area, but they were able to fit us in without a reservation, but in the future, I definitely will make a reservation ahead ahead of time as it's limited seating and fairly popular especially if that's a Tuesday night I'm sure the weekend is busier, the servers were very friendly and the menu was creative and seasonal and seem to be extremely fresh. You can see the kitchen right on the other side of the bar. Everything happens there which is a great touch. It wasn't very loud but some background music and everything was extremely creative and enjoyable highly recommend. read more

Communal: 5/5. A local Provo staple! This family-style restaurant focuses on local and sustainable ingredients. I've been eating at Communal since 2016. I'm a huge fan of their brunch menu, and that's exactly what brought us here today. We started brunch with an order of home fries. They're always crispy, not greasy, and super yummy. These are a must! For our main course to share, we chose to go with French toast, biscuits, and gravy with sunny-side up eggs on top. The French toast was perfectly cooked, topped with a selection of berries, powdered sugar, and one of the best buttermilk syrups I've ever tasted. The biscuits and gravy were a pleasant surprise. I order these often when I come here, but the presentation is all new! Instead of four mini biscuits, you now get one big biscuit smothered in their delicious gravy. I personally feel like this new biscuit is more moist. The sunny-side-up eggs were cooked perfectly. Our server recommended we try the banana bread, and I'm so happy we decided to give it a try. It was moist and full of flavor. The mascarpone, candied pecans, and caramel sauce took this amazing treat to the next level. Overall, I had an amazing brunch experience at Communal. I need to come back ASAP, as their winter dinner menu looks phenomenal! read more
