Wondering what we are doing now?

This is us last year. The transition has been hard. But, it’s been a thrill to serve our industry in this new capacity. As small business owners, we know first-hand what the perspective from the inside of a business looks like. We know the day-day grind, budgets, and all about wearing a million hats.

⚡This is why we have been better able to serve clients!⚡

It’s been amazing to quickly solve problems, boost excitement, provide relief, and offer support to some amazing business owners. We are currently working with 4 restaurants but also have clients outside of the food industry. We are proud to be serving small businesses in the retail, transportation, tourism, and recreation sectors.

We are still accepting clients for 2021. Ask us a question, or reach out—we would love to hear from you. www.whippoorwillcreative.com

We are devastated to share that Commonwealth’s days have come to an end. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have to close. We are taking some time to process this, our family is truly heartbroken. We would like to thank each and every one of you for the support you have given to Commonwealth Bistro. It has been an absolute pleasure serving you over the years. We are incredibly grateful for our entire community. May 2021 be a year of healing and health.

Warmly, Chris and Tess Burns

Dear Commonwealth Family,

Since the beginning of COVID we’ve pivoted (changing monthly, weekly, and sometimes daily) to meet the ever changing landscape. In this second shut down, we have decided it's time for lasting change. To survive this season as a business, and to thrive once we come out of a period of pandemic, are working toward a rebrand. Many restaurants are hanging on by pure grit, dedication, the ability to innovate, and a prayer. We are no exception. We are going to fight to get to the other side of this and that will require us changing.

Watch as our transformation unfolds. All of it from our hearts, filling gaps and needs in our community, and as always supporting our local farmers and makers. It's still us, just a different version. Please support small business this winter—every guest, every dollar, every social media share helps.

A great song!

We normally shut down the restaurant on Thanksgiving to spend time with family and employees. This year Chris and I decided it would be best to offer a Thanksgiving carryout menu to many of our guests. If you have a small gathering, a zoom dinner, or decide to drop meals to your family members—we have you covered. We will be taking orders starting tomorrow through Nov 18. Pickup will be Nov 25 from 3-8 p.m. Stay well.
