Steakhouse
Once known as the “skyscraper” of its day, the historic Germania Hall building, built in 1878, in downtown Wooster is now home to The City Square Steakhouse.

Award-winning chef Mike Mariola and wife, Emily, opened The City Square Steakhouse in 2008. City Square promises a dining experience you’d expect from a big city while maintaining its historic small-town charm, and has been recognized as one of the Top 100 Steakhouses in America.

The City Square Steakhouse is proud to exclusively use Certified Angus Beef products for all steaks and burgers. In addition to steaks, seafood, and other entrees, the inimitable flavor and delicacy of Butter Cake – City Square’s signature dessert – is truly the “cherry on top” of the City Square experience.

    The food was fine. However, for what is supposed to be a steakhouse, the cuts of meat were just so-so and very thin. One person in our party ordered their steak rare, and it was medium. The restaurant did offer to redo it, but we declined because we had already been there for close to two hours. For the amount of money they charge for their cuts, I would have expected that they were cooked to perfection. I probably would not go back because it just isn't a good value for what you get. It wasn't horrible by any means, it was just a very expensive mediocre meal.

    Delicious meal. Our server was extremely friendly, patient, and made great suggestions! I would have given 5 stars if there was attention/care with arranging the silver and tableware on the table; rather than setting it down and walking away. (We needed an extra spoon for dessert).

    Reservation stated we would be celebrating our anniversary, only the hostess mentioned something about it. Just disappointing that it was a special occasion and not any other comments. Waitress was very pleasant, but not in tune with who was sitting at her table(s).

    This place was fantastic!!! Our steaks were cooked exactly as we wanted and the taste was phenomenal….probably one of the best Filet Mignon I’ve ever had!! Best baked potato as well. Everything about this restaurant was perfect. Prices are a little steep but that’s to be expected with an upscale restaurant. We’ll definitely be back soon!

    Great venue. There was a large group next to our table, which was on a covered patio. The group was very noisy which made it difficult for us to communicate with each other. I suggest requesting a table in the main dining room, away from any groups.

    Food was the best I've had in a long time! Prices are a little steep, but what isn't these days. Service was very nice, but lacking - had to wait on a water for quite a while; couple behind us never had anyone wait on them and had to get the host to assist; took forever for our food to come out; plan on a long night if you want to have dinner.

They recognize special needs events like our anniversary and even gave us complimentary dessert. Who does that? It deserves special recognition. Thanks for a great time.

    Intimately lit and amply staffed, City Square is a delight even before one samples the sumptuous menu. Try the seafood bisque replete with mounds of luscious lobster (served just-so in a darling little cup). And, for your main, might I suggest the exquisitely marbled Delmonico topped with a decadent béarnaise? Your tastebuds will rejoice. For a drink, the cucumber gimlet is a frothy, sweet/sour hit, ideal for the dog days of summer. These items are all fairly priced for the caliber of the cuisine, making this steakhouse one your humble reviewer is sure to regularly revisit.

    A very nice place in north-central Ohio to celebrate a special occasion. Great atmosphere and good menu choices. Ask for a booth, it's much nicer than sitting center aisle at one of the tables.
