    Unfortunately my fish was undercooked. They remade the dish and it came out even more undercooked. The lamb shank was just okay at best. Drinks were good.

    The service was definitely not great. We had to ask for our server quite a few times; twice drink orders were forgotten. The live music during dinner was really nice. The food was fast and excellent. We will try this place again because of that…hoping the service will be better next time.

    Appetizers and entrees were delicious. The red velvet cake tasted like it was 2 weeks old. Frosting wasn’t good either. For the record we eat here often. The food is always outstanding as are the desserts. I think this was a Valentines Day only dessert. Never ever had a bad dessert outside of the red velvet cake.

    Husband and I went with another couple. Had never been before. Very nice ambiance, easy parking in the garage. It was the last day of restaurant week so we ordered off the pre fixe menu for $59. The value was excellent. Their regular menu looked great but was a bit pricey but in line with Morton’s or Gibson’s. Live jazz was nice but where we were seated, was extremely loud. We had to really raise our voices to hear one another speak at the table. It was definitely NOT background music. That said, he was very good, like Kenny G. Between the four of us we ordered everything off the pre fixe menu Our only complaints were that the salad was under dressed and fairly dry. The scallop and crab pasta was missing crab. There were two scallops and we felt 3 would’ve been more appropriate for a main dish. The steak was very flavorful and the stuffed shrimp was attractive and cooked perfectly. The creme brûlée was exceptional. We ordered a bottle of wine and the prices were high but the wine was a smooth and silky red Zin. Yum. Wait staff was primarily very attentive except for right at the beginning when he seemed a bit flustered with too many tables. He didn’t get our order in for about 1/2 hr but we weren’t in a hurry. The water was always filled and the food came out with measured tempo. We will be back to try their regular menu.

    This was our first time dining at the restaurant, and we went to try the Restaurant Week prix fixe menu. It was a 4-course meal, with an appetizer course, salad or soup, entree and dessert. The choices were somewhat limited - two choices of everything but the entree, which had three (two seafood and one steak). However, the choices had good variety, and everything we ordered was excellent. We both had seafood - my wife had scallops with pasta and I had stuffed shrimp, both of which had very generous portions. The service was outstanding by our server, Miguel, and they also had an excellent cocktail/wine list. The restaurant was very quiet when we first arrived, but the noise level picked up a bit when the live music started, which obviously drew a lot of people to the bar area as well as the dining room. It was a wonderful meal and we will definitely be returning.

    Food was great and service was even better. We had Scott as our server. He was SO knowledgeable and SO attentive and friendly. We had a great time and he really did tie the meal together with his service and banter. Would recommend the restaurant, specially the cocktails and the steak and mushroom risotto, but would especially recommend Scott!

    We were disappointed in the quality of the food: average pasta, dry chicken skewers, presentation not up to past quality. The waiters had to make the drinks for their tables because there was only one bartender! Not enough waitstaff either. The meals were plopped on the table by people other than the waiter. They were not trained to serve and had no clue which meal belonged to each person at the table. The music was incredibly loud and made conversation difficult. City Gate used to be our go-to restaurant. It will be a while before we return unfortunately.

    The food is always excellent served by seriously professional and tenured staff. It's one of the best, if not the best, at providing consistent great dining experiences in the western burbs. I can only speculate that the location (not downtown Naper or further west than the Naperville's NE corridor of chain restaurants (meh dining experiences)) is what prevents it from being more popular. People should give it a try, it's worth the extra distance - just off 88 at Rt 59.

    Upon arrival we were greeted by the manager he suggested a few menu items which I really appreciated. I have been wanting to dine at City Gate Grille for sometime now and was so excited to celebrate my birthday there. It was outstanding and beyond amazing blew my expectations out of the water. The staff was so attentive and made sure everything was to your satisfaction. Our server Cheryl went out of her way to make sure my birthday celebration was just perfect and that it was!! They presented us with a birthday dessert that was to die for. An incredible piece of chocolate cake with chocolate mousse and the plate had the most incredibly scripted in Chocolate Sauce with nonpareils sprinkles and nonpareils are my absolute favorite of all sprinkles!!! Then the assistant manager came to our table to ask if everything was okay and I said OKAY everything was just EXCELLENT!! We will definitely be returning!!
