My wife and I have dined here several times over the past few years. Our last two experiences were very disappointing, first on St. Patrick's day and the latest last Saturday. St. Patrick's day was marketed as a SP day celebration, but did not live up to the hype. Saturday the service was absolutely terrible. The waiter was very attentive to the point that we placed our order, then disappeared. We ran out off drinks for 20 minutes and finished our meals for 10 minutes (literally) before I asked the hostess to find our waiter. He finally showed up 5 minutes later. At that point, although we both wanted desert and another drink, we cut our losses. The food was good as it usually is. I had the blackened chicken alfredo, made with macaroni, which was very flavorfull, my wife enjoyed her apple delight sandwich. There are too many good restaurants in Old Town Manassas to put up with two bad experiences. Considering our previous good experiences we may give them another try in the future, but one more bad experience and we will never go back again.

My wife and I and friends have come here several times for lunch, so this review refers only to lunch experience. We've found the experience quite enjoyable in the past. However, the menu has gone "upscale" recently, with largely disappointing results, due to higher prices but without a commensurate step-up to "fine dining" status. The "apple delight" sandwich is one holdover item--it was still "good," but fit better as part of a solid but unpretentious café menu. A "Crabcake BLT" at $15 on the "sandwich board" was just ok. An empanadas appetizer was decent enough, but less of a culinary experience than the menu description suggested. We can't speak to the several entrée items, such as "blackened chicken alfredo," as the entrees all appeared to be "more food" than we wanted for "lunch." The service was quite good, and the ambience was very satisfying for our purpose--to be able to linger over the meal and enjoy quiet conversation without being rushed. That may have been partly, or largely, because there were very few patrons on a Tuesday between noon and 2:00 pm.

We've been BIG fans of City Square for many years and have enjoyed Chef Robert's interesting dinner specials about as often as we have ordered from the menu. We appreciate how well-trained and informed the wait staff is UNTIL Saturday night. The new chef (Chef Scott) has changed the menu and we had wait-staff in training at our table. All of our favorite menu items have been replaced. When I queried from the wait-staff in training working our table what the special of the evening was, she replied with "I think it's ravioli"; and when asked for further description, she replied "I think it's in a red sauce, at least it was when I asked the chef this morning. If it's any different, I'll come back to tell you". I prefer to order from someone who is up-to-the-minute on the kitchen's changes. Disappointed to see the famous "Chicken Bravo" no longer on the menu, I ordered the new version of pasta/chicken. My opinion of that was simply "meh". A single dish of olive oil and single basket of focaccia arrived for our table of 6, but no plates for us to put the treat on. I'm disappointed with that evening's meal and hope that Chef Scott will add the old favorites back to the menu and that the experienced staff will kick up the training a couple of notches. There are several other restaurants within a block of City Square who all offer outdoor dining with entertainment, so diners may vote their opinion by going to other venues. That would be a shame!

Our server was absolutely horrendous. First, he was no where to be found so we grabbed someone and gave them our order. A few minutes later, our actual server showed up with sunglasses on his head and said that he was our server and wanted to know what we ordered. I told him he was too late and someone else had taken our order. He replied that he was busy on the phone and that's why he was delayed... seriously? The rest of the evening, he took forever to bring us anything we asked for and was just rude and unhelpful. I ended up tipping the busboy who was around actually tending to customers and helping us get what we wanted. The food was great, the ambiance was excellent (live music) but that server ruined everything! It seemed like other customers with other servers were just fine so who knows what this guys problem was...

Cod soaked in Tequila did not work - the texture was wrong and it had little taste. The bacon sauce and veggies underneath were exceptionally good. The Ecuadorian sandwich (steak and egg) was excellent. The American sandwich looked great. I was told the soup was excellent. I would have ordered the Rabbit Andouille but it was the day before Easter. The side Greek Salad was a total waste of money - a standard side salad with a few sprinkles of feta. So, you should go, but avoid the disappointing dishes.
