    The waiter was pleasant and thoughtful. From our appetizer to our main courses, each dish was either room temperature or cold. Will only be ordering drinks in the future.

    All a great time at City Works. If I had any complaint it would be to start their full menu on Sunday’s earlier than 3 pm. We only were able to choose from brunch menu at it was 2 pm and would have liked more options.

    This was a very busy place, especially for a weeknight. We arrived early for our dinner reservation, but were seated immediately, which we appreciated. The restaurant offers a wide variety of specialty cocktails, and my wife and I both ordered one. They were very good. We ordered an appetizer and entrees. The food came out very quickly. Too quickly, as it turned out, as our entrees showed up before our appetizer. We told the manager that we still wanted the appetizer, and he graciously comped it on our bill. The food was very good, and our server was nice, but appeared to be covering too many tables. We did wait for a few minutes to get our bill after we had finished our meal. All in all though, a positive experience. I will go back and try it again, to be sure.

    This place is just OK. We did get seated promptly. When we put our appetizer order in, it took forever to come out. The manager had to go back and get them to make it. All of our entrées for dinner we’re just OK. Nothing outstanding. If I had to do it again, I probably would go to Primantis across the street.

    Very happy with this reservation! Even though it was a very busy Saturday night our server was attentive and food was great. We weren’t expecting them to air the pay per view UFC fight but they did! Ended up staying til closing and watching the fights, super happy we ended up here.

    Vibrant, energetic atmosphere with spacious seating and open floor plan where the dining room rolls into the elevated large bar area and TV's. Service was spot on; quick, courteous, and knowledgeable about menu and menu items. We had reservations which I would recommend (Saturday night). Large craft beer list. Appetizers I would recommend The Kung Pao Cauliflower (It's not fried), and the Buffalo Chicken dip (this dip had more chicken in it than any other Buffalo chicken dip I've eaten at other restaurants). The Nashville Hot Chicken was very spicy, very good. The Steak Salad had great fresh greens, but the steak was average. I would not recommend this place if you are looking for a quiet intimate meal. But you are looking for overall very good food with plenty of choices in an upbeat contemporary atmosphere that has a bit of a sports bar feel, this is a good spot. I would recommend. I certainly plan to return.

    Our server, Joseph, was friendly, helpful, patient, and a super nice guy. The menu was perfect for our party of eight -- everyone found something that they loved. I'd definitely return to try some of the other options. We enjoyed the local beer selections and like having the option of higher quality craft beers from other parts of the country. Even though there was an issue with a few of the taps being hooked up to the wrong kegs (LOL) they fixed it and handled everything smoothly! One of our party members was participating in Dry January and enjoyed her Mocktail very much! Didn't even miss the alcohol. City Works is in a convenient location in Market Square. A nice upscale sports bar that served our big group well for dinner before a show at Heinz Hall. Just a short walk away. We're not in the city often, but when we return, we're asking for Joseph!

    We traveled from Ohio to watch the Steelers vs Browns football game. We chose City Works because it looked like a very inviting place to watch a football game since we didn’t have game tickets. The service was great and the food was delicious also. I loved the large selection of beers. The atmosphere during the game was great! NO wild and crazy obnoxious people. Everyone was well behaved and enjoying themselves. We will definitely return again. Go Steelers!

    Many open tables, and what I would consider sufficient staff, however our server was not very attentive and didn't honor the 'happy hour' prices being offered. We ultimately got 'most' of the pricing corrected . . . . . but if this was our first trip to CityWorks, we would not be going back.

    Reservations were properly secured. However, when making the reservation, for this establishment, should ask for lower seats or high top table. We had a member of our party who had difficulty with the higher seats and the restaurant was not able to accommodate us. The appetizer was very good. The main courses were good. The sides were ok. The main waitstaff was somewhat “creepy…”. Take the order, service the table, listen to the customer. When the customer orders something, stop trying to add items to the order and insisting they know better than the person who is going to eat the meal. Keep opinions to oneself unless asked. Certain mannerisms when taking an order need to be specific to the order at hand and not a not pontificating on other things. Will revisit the restaurant but would not have that waiter again.

    Food took too long. Things were forgotten. Had to ask sever for apps, condiments, coffee, dessert. and it was as if she forgot and remembered when we asked. 545 reservation and left at 745. 2 hours!! Told her we had a show one hour before the show and ended up rushing to get to the show. Seemed very short staffed. Lots of apologies offered but still disappointing.

    Host was very accommodating, our party had a few last minute dropouts and they were still able to accommodate our reservation. Service was polite and prompt, food was good. Maybe we're just old, but the music was a little too loud, had to shout to hear across the table, otherwise the overall experience was very good

    Going to the theater so decided to try City Works pre-show with one other couple. Convenient to make reservations which were honored when we arrived. Noise level extremely loud making it almost impossible to talk at our table. Service was prompt and efficient. Food was just ok - hot dishes were barely warm - disappointing but didn't want to wait to send them back due to show timing constraints.

    Sat at table and waited 30 mins before anyone even stopped over to get us drinks, ordered a beer and after asking for it 3 separate times throughout the dinner it arrived when we were all about done eating our meals (we got apps too…), waitress was never around to ask if we needed anything we went without water for most of our evening. All the tables around us seemed to be sitting around waiting for things too. Just bad service.

    For a holiday dinner with co-workers, this was the perfect place. The vibe was energetic and upfront. Reservation was reserved via open door and had no issues. The menu was able to satisfy all taste pallet and price very reasonable. I also like the HH menu options. The Noise level high but is what was expected. I Would definitely recommend.
