    The food and service is always great . The wine selection is excellent. The bartenders are masters at their craft. We go to City Table time and time again because it’s OUR NEIGHBORHOOD RESTAURANT!

    The service level was exceptional. My meal did not turn out well and the server was gracious and the manager checked in with me about any other substitutions. They did not charge me for it which I truly appreciate. My glass of wine was wonderful and the ambiance was nice especially in the bar area.

    City Table was excellent. The food was wonderful, the atmosphere was perfect for my date and I. Not too loud so we could have a conversation. Server was very attentive as well. I would definitely go back and recommend this restaurant to anyone.

    During a non-busy brunch time, our server was not very attentive. We had to get up and ask someone for a coffee refill and again to pay our tab. Food was great but feel that $10 for a simple cup of coffee is overpriced.

    Overall not a great experience. Wait staff didn’t really pay attention to the basics, ex. Cappuccino no spoon. Had to ask for silverware after entree came out etc. and food was mediocre at best yet cost way more than it should have. Price to value was just way off here. Sorry for the negative review which I don’t usually give but, hopefully someone’s paying attention and can smooth out these rough edges.
