About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Hot spot
Early on the scene of the Oxford Square revival, City Grocery has become a landmark in the dining scene. Exposed brick walls and heart pine plank floors augment the candlelight and white tablecloths, while Chef Jon 'JD' Davis stages some of the most creative and interesting food in the South. Open for Lunch and Dinner six days a week, we invite you to experience “The Grocery” with family, friends, and associates for your next birthday celebration, business outing, anniversary, and every occasion in between. Sip a House Cocktail at the bar upstairs; enjoy an oversized Muffaletta at lunch; share a bottle of wine from our wide-ranging list with a friend. Chef John Currence’s ‘baby’ has it all.

    Always a perfect experience at City Grocery! Red Snapper was sheer perfection and the cantaloupe carpaccio with pistachio glaze-just impeccable! Service was excellent and timing perfectly on-point! Loved our experience and look forward to our next visit!

    We had a fantastic dinner last night. Artichoke piccata & pork belly tostadas were excellent apps. Rabbit & hoisin duck leg entrees were standouts & the dark chocolate moonpie was a surprise hit!

    The restaurant is too dark, too noisy, the music system was loud and poor quality. The ambiance is lacking and the food is mediocre. Our waitress was attentive is about all I can say.

    We had a fabulous dinner! We enjoyed salads, roasted chicken, crawfish scampi and shrimp & grits. They were all so different and all so delicious.
