"Very Bad experience. I had made reservations (party of 9) and still had to wait 35 minutes for the table. Then, we were seated at a table which was empty since we walked in. Food was warm at best. Service was poor. Provided feedback to hostess on way out and she offered to get the manager. Then, waited another 5 minute for the manager. Finally just left.
A disappointment. I have visited City Tavern many times at other locations. The experience was always pleasant and the food was good."

"We went for Restaurant Week and the food was delicious, especially the fish entree. Really like the big open feel of the restaurant and large bar area, but we felt like the restaurant was on a "casual" side with bland (loud) flooring and casual chairs/tables. Seemed more like a family restaurant instead of nicer dining. The private dining rooms looked much fancier and had us wanting to sit in there instead."

"Nothing special. I wished our waitress had remembered my husband's glass of wine instead of asking us repeatedly if everything was ok. Don't understand this trend. If something's not right, trust me, we'll tell you."

"City Tavern is one of my most favorite restaurants - for lunch, for dinner, for brunch, or to just have a drink at the bar. Had dinner with my daughter on Friday, February 1, which was still part of Restaurant Week. The food was absolutely wonderful, of course. I stepped out of my "comfort zone" and ordered things I usually don't order.....what a delightful surprise. Every bite I took was a culinary treat."

"Server was surprised to see us. He acted like he had no clue what was going on when he looked passed us at the hostess. Told us the restaurant week menu was a great deal. He lied. The appetizers were for for only one person. Really. The bacon wrapped scallops were literally an inch in diameter and only TWO on the plate. Our food in general took a very long time. I order the pan roasted duck, which came out barely warm and a little dry. Another person in my party asked if he could substitute the asparagus for something else. The serve told him no, flat out, thats the way it comes. Wow. It's safe to say that if City Tavern doesn't want my return business, then I will have no choice but to tell ALL of my friends about my experience."

"Food was very good - service was not.
Several minutes after we were seated, a server approached and asked if anyone was helping us. When we said no, he said he guessed he would. And that was about how it went. All around unprofessional staff. Large open room with lots of noise.
Our waiter gave us a card for a free appetizer by way of apology. And the meal tasted very good."
