Beautiful restaurant setting. You can sit in the bar area or a more quieter section of the main restaurant. We opted for the bar which had a singer performing. The jazz singer & musician was a very nice touch for the evening. Service was excellent and non obtrusive ... our server Derek checked in or walked by to ensure if we needed anything. My lobster salad was super yummy ... highly recommend.My hubby and I had a very lovely evening here.

Our second time at CityGate and again we had an amazing experience. My husband and I celebrated our anniversary this time and as always the food and service was amazing. We requested Scott again as our waiter because he is such a wonderful, attentive person. The live band was a fun addition to our night. CityGate is now our favorite place to dine!

This restaurant gives you a sense of caring that you have a memorable dining experience. Happily greeted at the entrance and seated promptly. Wait staff acknowledged our presence and began offering welcoming statements to make us feel respected and valued. Attention was present throughout the evening without being bothersome. Set our order preferences in classic dining order with intervals for each course right about the time you would expect without being rushed or bored. Food brought to table hot and with great presentation. All meals were cooked perfectly and delicious. Also, this night we had the ambience of soft live music in the background. This could be a go to spot for a fun night out! Great Service! Great Food! Great Atmosphere!

From the girls who greet you when you first walk in, to the waitresses who bring you drinks and anything that you need, and the servers at all of the carving stations and the busboys who clear away your dirty dishes (to make room for more dishes of food!) EVERYBODY was happy, attentive and professional. The behind the scenes chefs and kitchen staff should also be commended for putting out very tasty food at all of the buffet's stations. The only suggested change that I'd make for next year (this is NOT a criticism - just a suggestion) is that for those of us who come early, it would have been nice if they had a bar/lounge area setup so that we could have had a cocktail (or 2! :-) while waiting for everyone in our party to arrive. That said, everybody in my group appreciated the great food and excellent service and we'll definitely be coming back for the Thanksgiving Buffet next year.
