    I took my girlfriend's father out to dinner. His wife, my gf, and her sister were out to celebrate birthdays and a girls' night out. We had a very nice dinner. Great food, and our server Scott was really good! I have always highly recommended this place. It's just north of downtown Naperville across I-88. None of all the crowd and all the same old places. This is really good food, attentive yet respected service. Live music and a very lively bar on the weekend. I love this place!

    Wonderful meal and beautiful space and great service. Only a complaint is when full or mostly full it is very loud. The sound bounces around the room. Food and service are excellent, and we will be back.

    Great service, Very good food, but the kitchen forgot to serve our salads before the entrée arrived. The server kindly apologized and took it off the bill. Otherwise it was very good food and a very good sever also doubled as the bartender for the whole restaurant - so it was not her fault the salads never made it to the table.
    CityGate GrilleResponded 3 days ago
    Thank you for your feedback! So sorry about the salads, but happy you still enjoyed your time with us. Hope to see you again soon!

    Great service! The food was just okay. I had the chicken my husband had the steak. I wish the food had more flavor. The pita bread, garlic and balsamic app was good! The restaurant it self is very spacious and would be good for parties.

    This was for a wine event. It was a fantastic experience. We would definitely attend another event here again. We frequent the restaurant quite a bit and enjoy the musical talent they have also. Highly recommend City Gate Grille. Food, service, and ambience 10++
