The restaurant was too noisy. We couldn’t carry on a conversation without yelling. The waiter didn’t write down the order and so my friend’s order was wrong. It took too much time to get it fixed and there was no effort to make it right by the restaurant.

A good Gastro pub. My wife’s short ribs were a little chewy and the deviled eggs were excellent but a bit pricey at $11.50 for 4 half eggs. My Deconstructed club sandwich was superb as was my cocktail. Prices were good in today’s market. Service was friendly if a little in attentive. It’s a nice space with a large patio area in the front. I would like to come back and try some of the other dishes.

First, Libor, our server, made our night very special. He was terrific. His suggestions of the steak sandwich with Caesar salad and the salmon tacos were perfect. They were delicious. So were the Old Fashioned and the Mule. There were some areas that could use some cleaning up or tidying near some tables in the front but otherwise the place is warm and inviting. Looking forward to going back.

The skirt steak was very over cooked and no seasoning. Rest of the meal was good. It took about 5-10 minutes to get any service but was tentative after that.

We’ve been here several times and have alway been satisfied with the food and service but this time was the exception. After being seated by the hostess 15 minutes went by and not one person came to our table to see if we wanted anything to drink. The food was a disappointment. I ordered the short rib and the meat was very tough and lukewarm. My wife ordered the fajitas and the rice was mushy and the chicken was not seasoned. Needless to say we were very disappointed and sorry to say we probably won’t be back.

1/2 of Patio heaters don't work, which makes dining with jackets very uncomfortable.
The food sounded great on the menu, but it was just ok. Our waiter was great, but the selection of wine very limited.

It was lovely, the food portions were big and tasty, there weren’t a lot of people at lunch so we had our pick of tables. When the sun got too hot they proactively moved the umbrella to give us shade. Food came out promptly and we were well attended but not overly so by the waitress. Would def go back again.

This has been our go to place to catch up when my brothers are in town as we can sit and catch up and have a couple of drink while we eat. The staff is absolutely the best. Our waiter T was outstanding in giving beer recommendations and checking on our table needs. Will definitely continue to be a patron whenever we all are in town at the same time.

Food was kind of mediocre overall. They didn't have decaf coffee, and I ordered a side of sausage that came out cold and tough. I asked if they could bring me new one, and the new one came out cold and tough again. The wait staff was very friendly though!

Service was great! 5pm is the perfect time because it is not too busy or loud. People enjoying the game - food was good! Then poutine is not the healthy option on the menu but soooo good.

The food and prices were fair. Service was lacking. First the location sucks because parking is very difficult to find. Then when you do, no one was out front to seat us. I went inside and found someone rolling silverware and asked where do I check in for my reservation only to be told the hostess stand outside and I was like no one is there but I went back out and just kept waiting until eventually someone came. We did eventual order but the server never came to check on us, we had to ask the busboy to get our check. We could have literally just dined and dashed since they sat us on the sidewalk and you can just also walk to the bathroom in the back where another exit is. And since you dont park nearby dine and dash would be easy and i was contemplating this as we couldnt find our server. Also, its very loud being outside. I dont really feel the need to ever go back. FYI dine la is only for dinner no lunch or brunch specials for dine la.

My wife and I reserved a table for my birthday celebration with our three adult children. As first time guests, we were pleased with the overall experience. The ambience was on point… enjoying my company, watching some sports, and enjoying the local vibe feel. The food was delicious and plentiful! Our waiter had a great attitude from start to finish! We will definitely return and highly recommend to others. Thank you!

We eat here ofter before attending the theatre and are always satisfied. The food is consistently good and the service friendly. They have an extensive beer list, a good selection of cocktails, and I can always find something delicious on the menu. They are usually pretty busy when we have dined here so I highly recommend reservations.

Took the team out for lunch and had a great time with delicious food and drinks. Service took a little longer than expected but it seemed like there was a single wait staff managing the entire outdoor seating (10+ tables) so definitely not her fault - and a pretty impressive feat. Our group of 12 was well taken care of and we were happy to reschedule some meetings so we could spend some extra time out on a beautiful Culver day.

The ambience was very good but the service and happy hour menu ended 15 minutes into our reservation (I just wish our server had reminded us of the cutoff). The food was decent for a one time try and the drinks were above average.

We had a really great experience at City Tavern yesterday - I made a reservation for 12, but it actually ended up being 15 people and they were SO helpful in accommodating the change at the last minute. Our server was wonderful too, super attentive for such a large group. We barely had to wait for drink refills, etc. Thank you, CT!

We sat outside, our server was terrific (when our drinks hadn't been served us he was appalled and had them remade and didn't charge us for them). The food was quite good and very satisfying. Casual spot, casual menu.
