"Ate here for dinner recently for my wedding anniversary. It’s a very nice, relaxed space. Dress code is casual. The service was very attentive and efficient, if a bit rushed - entrees came almost immediately once we were done eating our appetizers. Before we were done eating our entrees we were asked about dessert. Would have liked a bit of time between courses. The food was nice. Best course was appetizers - that’s where they have the most options. Especially liked the fig and cheese appetizer and the smoked salmon was delicious with wonderful small pieces of bread. Overall it was nice but given the prices definitely a special occasion place."

"My partner and I visited tonight for our Valentine’s dinner and our experience was nothing short of wonderful! Mike was our server and he was attentive, knowledgeable, and so personable. The Hightower, Espresso Martini, and Limoncello Collin’s from the bar were great drinks with stand-out flavor profiles. We ordered the Baked Feta appetizer and we couldn’t get over how good it was. The Surf and Turf my boyfriend got was great! The filet was cooked perfectly and was so tender and his shrimp were equally well prepared. For my entree, I ordered a snapper with crab and a beurre blanc that was delightful! It was moist while still very well cooked and so buttery in texture and flavor. Our roasted veggies were awesome and the Brussels are a must! Each staff member we interacted with were so friendly! We will definitely return, and we are so grateful for our experience today!"

"We are new to the area and have been hearing so much about City Grill. So we made reservations and we were very pleased with the experience. The atmosphere is very classy, but relaxed. The service was very attentive, knowledgeable about their specials. and made great suggestions. The food was exceptionally good! You have to try the fig pastry, it’s a must. We had a party of 7 and we were seated right on time. I would highly recommend City Grill and we will definitely be returning soon."

"We've dined at City Grill 3 or 4 times since its recent change of ownership, and we're thrilled that the restaurant's maintained its high standards and wonderful cuisine! Larry took very good care of us and I enjoyed probably the best prepared piece of halibut I've ever experienced!"

"Waitress was amazing! Food was delicious! Make a reservation! You can choose outside dining, which we prefer! Brie with honey and almonds, classic, crab cake were the apps we delighted in. The main courses of our choices were the filet, perfected by the Chef! The scallops, and pasta with mushrooms and spinach was a bit more spicy than I prefer, but don't let it discourage you from the meal. Scallops were perfect! Salmon with shredded and seared Brussel sprouts and fingerling potatoes, just the whole time everyone was smiling and enjoying! This place is pricey but worth every penny1"
