Excellent food and service. We went on a gluten free Monday due to my wife’s celiac disease. Gluten free or not, the food was fantastic.

This was my second visit to City Streets and we plan on returning with friends. The food was excellent. We shared arancini, then I enjoyed the chicken piccata, while my husband had fish and chips. My daughter enjoyed the shrimp tempura bowl. The restaurant staff is friendly, helpful and very capable. Since there are lots of hard surfaces, the room gets a bit noisy but not as much as other places we have visited. All in all, we are delighted to have discovered City Streets and plan to return many times. We recommend it highly
