We had reservations so we didn't have a wait at all. There were only 2 of us but we were given a huge semi circle booth with a big table. The seat cushion wasn't that comfortable and sank in quite a bit and the upholstery had some rips in it... The food was definitely decent and presentation was good 👍... The service was very sporadic and basically slow. The bread 🍞 was dry and came with a plate of plain oil for dipping which was tasteless. We got the rock shrimp and grilled octopus appetizers which were pretty good. I ordered beef short rib. My friend had the shrimp and scallops with risotto. We also had peach Sangria and desserts !!!
We celebrated a birthday for brunch and we were a party of 30 people. The place was big and comfortable, nice decor, a huge bar. We were not rushed out. Our server took our orders pretty quickly, and food did not take long. However, our drinks took a while it seemed that there was only one server to that side of the restaurant, and it was hard to get her attention. The food was delicious.
Came here for LI Restaurant Week. EVERYTHING was a hit! The crabcake was pure crab, NOT full of (or any) breading/ filler. The wings were big and plentiful. There were so many options for the entrée that I couldn't decide. I let the waitress decide, and she picked the right choice. The pork chop was huge and tasteful. The drinks were on point, creative, and strong. The cheesecake was smooth and rich. The presentation of everything was beautiful. Definitely returning because there's so many things on the menu I still need to try.
I got to go to City Cellar as a part of restaurant week. The restaurant is well decorated and our waitor was super accommodating and sweet. The food was good too, especially the tomato bisque! It stole the show.
Food was delectable! The filet mignon was cooked to perfection. Service was Moscow as the waitress was also the bartender and then added a hundred automatic hundred dollar tip to our 500 bill. Where I don’t think it was just deserved as we constantly had to ask or remind her or them items we asked for or ordered. However, besides that. The wait time was great and the food was phenomenal. Everyone had a great time.
This place gets 5 stars because they sat us quickly, the service was great and our server was very attentive and friendly. Cozy vibes, good place for a date & the food was amazing.
One of my friends suggested this place after our original New Year Day Brunch plans fell through. I've always driven by this establishment but never had the opportunity to go there. I'm so glad I got the chance; the atmosphere and ambiance felt mature and pleasant. The decor was amazing. Our hostess was amazing, very knowledgeable and professional; he definitely accommodated to all of our needs and we weren't disappointed at all. The food was outstanding; my only hiccup was the octopus appetizer was a bit salty but it was still good. The drinks were awesome. Will definitely come back!!
Loved the atmosphere, great for a meeting with friends and family; good value pre-fix menu
they also have a separate room that can be used for Babyshow or bigger parties
Had the chance to visit city cellar for restaurant week and overall a pretty good deal. The appetizers are all terrific, recommend the wings and all the salads. However, the steaks were just subpar. Had to send two back to kitchen because they were both overcooked. Also our waiter was great, provided us with terrific service.
I was here for my birthday. Service is excellent. Food is presented in an artistic way. Delicious!
We went for brunch the Sunday before Thanksgiving. There was live music which was very nice. The service is top notch, our waiter came to explain the brunch menu and favorites. We ordered the charred octopus and braised short rib French onion soup to start. Both were fantastic. We also had steak and eggs and the brunch sampler, again fantastic!
Upon entry, I felt I was being transported to a utopia-like place. We wanted to take advantage of their prix-fixe items ($35 for starter, main entree, and dessert Monday-Friday) that are offered from 4p-6p. We made it just in time! We were waited on by Courtney who had a pleasant demeanor and positive attitude. I elected to get the wagyu sliders (only 2 offered on the prix-fixe menu but 3 on their regular menu), rigatoni bolognese, and flourless chocolate cake for dessert. I also sipped on a frozen mango margarita which was divine! The sliders were good, the rigatoni was okay, not bad but I've had better and the cake was hard. I should've chosen the ice cream/sorbet option instead. I also ordered the lobster carbonara to go but was surprised by how little was offered for $29. Overall I enjoyed the vibe and the time spent with my party.
We did the brunch with Santa. I was a little disappointed they didn’t have a tree or any type of backdrop for the picture. Santa was very nice. I had the parfait. It was so delicious the yogurt with the warm honey, granola and all the fresh fruit. Yum! I also had, the mushroom omelette. It was bland but that’s how I like it because I can’t have a lot of salt and I don’t like a lot of seasoning. It was good for me… but I feel a lot of people would’ve wanted to spice it up a little bit. The waiter was so nice. I do want to go back and have dinner. I like the atmosphere, but I would have to try all their food before I would really know if I loved it or not. But that parfait was delicious I would’ve been happy with two parfaits.! Lol
The Prix Fixe menu is great. The bread was amazing & the octopus has me drooling just thinking about it. Our waiter Allan was engaging & efficient which helped in making our dining experience even better. I will be back for Sunday brunch.
Cute place. We went on a Sunday for some wine & small pizzas. Sat at the bar without a problem, it’s pretty big. The restaurant is very big too and multiple tables were filled. They also had a small jazz band which was lovely & the perfect volume. Wine selection was great. Bartender was friendly & on top of things. He also made us aperol spritz’s which were good, I would have liked less seltzer though (that’s not how I make it at home). Would definitely go back again.
I had the margherita pizza and it was great. Our server was kind, attentive, and personable.
I really enjoyed City Wine Bar & Grill. It was a loud place, but filled with lots of positive energy. The decor was cool, service was wonderful and the food was very good.
Our waiter Pablo was knowledgeable, made great recommendations and a fun personality.
Our group enjoyed some nice cocktails, wine and Port.
The Thai Mussels as well as the grilled octopus were fantastic starters. My lamb shank special was awesome and fell right off the bone.....really tender and full of flavor. My wife enjoyed her branzino. Our friends said their steak and duck dinners were very good as well.
This place is not cheap at all. The bill was around $250 per couple. So although I really liked my experience, I will probably come back only for a special occasion and not a random weekend night out. Overall worth a visit!
Lovely restaurant, clean, quiet nice atmosphere. Our Meals were well prepared, presented well and absolutely Delicious!
Waiter/server Service not at it's greatest, but that doesn't mean we won't come back, nope, I'll definitely dine here again with friends/family!
