    The server clearly started yesterday. She had absolutely no concept on how to wait on a table, u couldn’t understand a single word she said, she disappeared the entire meal. The pizza tasted like something worse than a college cafeteria. The chicken was a poor excuse for meal. Overall the entire experience was a complete overpriced waste of $

    We arrived on time. Our server was nice but we didn't even get to see him for more than a minute. we got rushed placing our orders in which we were okay with until we realized the food was not coming out anytime soon. The food came out an hour later and god it was not even mediocre for the price. it was cold, dry and stale. We got a burger with fries and the roasted chicken which we thought were the safest options but after we got them we just wanted to eat a little and head out. considering how long the food took to get to us and how bad it was; it wasn't even worth it to get something else or changed because that would've taken even longer. There are way too many places in the Bay Area for cheaper who do much much better food. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else

    City TableResponded on March 13, 2023Dear Menal, I've very sorry to hear about your dining experience with us. This is not up to our hospitality standards. I have shared your review with the management team & chef to make the necessary improvements moving forward. We hope you know we take feedback very seriously and hope you'll give us another chance in the future. Again, our deepest apologies. Sincerely, Maya

    Valentines Dinner was a success. Other than not having a non-alcoholic drink option in stock, everything went off without a hitch. Nice ambiance, cheese plate was perfect size and selections. Sirloin special was cooked perfectly, the only criticism is that the sauce would have been better served as a side. It was delish but everything on the plate was swimming in the sauce.

    Had the salmon one night and chicken fricasse a other night. Both were incredibly good!! Salmon perfectly cooked and not dried out. Grandson had a shrimp pasta dish with tons of shrimp that was killer. Other grandson had a perfect cheeseburger. Son and my husband had steak frites which were little dry. Had great breakfasts four mornings. Everything from smoked salmon avocado toast to French toast, pancakes, eggs & bacon, to oatmeal with SUPER fresh berries. The one thing that really stands out is the STAFF!! Extremely accomadating and upbeat! We stayed four nights at the hotel and the entire staff from the bars and restaurant to the hotel staff were the nicest people we have encountered and we travel extensively. We cannot wait to go back!!! Hotel is absolutely gorgeous!!!

    My friend and I had a lovely dinner at City Table. It was our first time eating there and we were not disappointed. Everything was perfect- the service, the food, the location, the atmosphere. The menu had lots of dietary accomodations as well. It was a busy Friday night and still our server Ana A. was exceptionally attentive to anything we needed. I will definitely return to City Table.

    Six of us had brunch at City Table before a theater performance on a recent Sunday afternoon. All was lovely. Our table ticked away in a circular corner felt private and special. We all remarked that we could actually talk to each other because of the low noise level. Our waiter was courteous and attentive without rushing us. The menu was somewhat limited but the food was well-prepared and presented. Finding a reasonably priced restaurant for brunch with a quiet noise level that takes reservations is difficult. City Table fills the bill!
