Restaurants near Cornell Park

We we are friends that get together once a month and take turns picking a place to meet at that works for all of us. This month was extra special as it was the holiday. We enjoyed being together and the food and drinks and service were awesome. I always enjoy my dinners and lunches there. I tell everyone it is top notch.

City Works was amazing last night! The food was delicious as usual! I had their new smash burger tacos, which need to be added to the main menu! My husband had the crabcakes and he loved those as well! Chelsea, as usual, was the most amazing server! She’s a doll! 

We went for the Thanksgiving buffet and it was a lovely afternoon. The servers were quick with anything we needed and were always friendly. They were also helpful - my husband asked for Turkish coffee and the server responded that black coffee was included but there would be an extra charge for Turkish. Totally reasonable and I appreciated not getting a surprise added charge later. The food was solid, especially the cold apps/salads, cig kofte, lentil soup, bread basket, and the two meats made from ground meat. It's tough to prepare food for such a large group, so not surprising that the chicken kebabs were drier than I'd like. I was sad not to see any lamachun available, as it was listed. But that's okay as that's also something that's better when it's piping hot. At no point did anyone indicate that they needed our table, which can be a concern both at buffets and on holidays. We were able to relax between courses and enjoy the holiday as a family. I'd happily return!

Great food, Outstanding Service, Friendly staff and big portions. It's amazing!
