    Delightful and will return. It was an upscale quiet diner feel with good brunch drinks and a relaxed vibe. This is an easy choice that would work for any crowd/ palette.

    City Cafe was fantastic as always! It is easily the place to be and be seen! It is reliably outstanding and a Mt. Vernon mainstay!

    I’m hoping this was just an off night, as I’ve generally like City Cafe. But, start to finish the service was inconsistent, the server messed up the order and, when it came, the food was mediocre. They’ve earned another chance based on my past experiences, but another meal like this one and I’ll go elsewhere.

    5 in our group so the round table was perfect. Delicious appetizers: dumplings and Brussel sprouts.

    A perfect light dinner before the theater. Service was excellent and wine selection was interesting. I ordered a Cobb salad and it was the BEST I’ve ever had; the lettuce was crisp and delicious and the other ingredients were fresh and crisp. There was just enough dressing for the salad and it was served in a cold salad bowl which was lovely. A perfect salad. My husband enjoyed every bite of his favorite Baltimore Club.

    Great food! Even when our server was a little off co-worker and the manager stepped up to make for a great evening!

    The waiter seemed quite confused. He never offered a second cup of coffee. He needs to learn a little PR among the clientele.
