   Met a friend for Happy Hour. Love the half-price appetizers - Kung Pan Cauliflower was amazing! Outstanding service - let us sit and chat with no 'pressure'. A favorite for sure!

   Another fantastic experience at City Works! Cheddar Burger and Chopped Chicken Salad were delicious, as always. Service was outstanding. It's one of our favorite places to dine - love the hightop in the bar area. We'll be back for sure!

   City Works is reliably great both in terms of food and service. My go to is the steak salad. My two friends ordered the smoked meatloaf at the recommendation of our server and they both raved about it. Have been there several times and and will continue to go back.

   Met a friend in the late afternoon, mostly for a few drinks and an appetizer. Love that we could take our time without any pressure to order. Service was outstanding. City Works continues to be a big favorite!

   Wonderful spot for a team lunch! Noise level was low and we could converse and have a nice lunch together. Food was quick to our table and everything was outstanding - hot, fresh, and flavorful. Our server Susan was excellent - she knew the menu very well and was able to suggest entrees that everyone enjoyed.

    Food was excellent / great-tasting but there was a disconnect on service- maybe it was just the time we got in on Sunday brunch. If the appetizer comes out about 25 mins after you ordered then there's something wrong somewhere. But kudos to the other server from the different section as she was readily jumping in to help out - that's still great teamwork!
