- LLindaChicago / Illinois •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe use CityGate Grille for our date nights. We sit in the intimate bar and listen to the wonderful jazz musicians. As we were there later in the evening, we ordered a few appetizers instead of a full dinner. The food is delicious. Our waiter, Derrick, was attentive and offered options when I found the dipping sauce a little too spicy for me. We had a wonderful time.More infoCityGate GrillePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Naperville•4.7
