   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!

   When is a burger more than a burger? When it's at City Works! Cooked to perfection at medium. Side salad was delish. Had the cranberry mojito - highly recommend. Service from Maria was outstanding. It's all why City Works is a favorite for us!

   What makes an extra enjoyable experience ... great service elevates everything. Kinga and Sheryl out did themselves to make our birthday fun. Their dinner suggestions for us were great. We were even treated to a candle lit, singing Happy Birthday dessert. Expect a wait without reservations on the weekend but there is usually lots of parking.

    We came to the bar with friends to watch the Kentucky game. Our service was awful. Our waiter was Ruebe. He took forever to bring drinks. One round of drinks he forgot about. He never asked if we wanted water. We started out with apps and never got to order dinner because he never came back to our table. Over all a very disappointing dining experience!
