    My complaints are not related to City Table, which is an excellent spot - fine food and atmosphere, about to undergo a renovation. It's with Open Table, which confirmed and triple confirmed my reservation, only to call City Table and find out it was CLOSED. Open Table was incorrectly handling my reservation and a chance call to ask about parking revealed that no tables were possible as it was shuttered for a few months. Open Table owes its consumers and vendors the courtesy of tracking what is real and what is its own fake news. I'll be glad when City Table opens up; I'll never book through Open Table again due to unreliability. Too bad.

    I made a reservation to celebrate a friends birthday and we were surprised with 2 complimentary full sized slices of cake which our server brought out with a lit candle! We were very appreciative of the service and felt very well taken care of. Food was also delicious and came out quickly. Not too loud inside and had plenty of space between neighboring tables

    great vibes, a hidden gem in the city, nestled in a wonderful hotel. Superb service - from host/hostess to wait staff and bartenders - all so accommodating and capable.

    Excellent choice for breakfast/brunch. We went on a Sunday afternoon and had a lovely meal, great service, and very nice location inside the Lennox. Jorge was our sever and he did an exceptional job. All around great meal, and great experience.

    Came down for breakfast service as I was staying at the Lenox hotel right above. Got the classic eggs Benedict dish which was… nothing like “classic eggs Benedict” to say the least. Quite unfortunately. The eggs were nearly hard boiled and way too vinegary. The so to speak “hollandaise” on top of them was screaming ultra processed ready to use glowing in the dark kind of sauce. The supposedly English muffin was so hard I could not even cut through it with the knife. My bottomline - never again.

    The food and service is always great . The wine selection is excellent. The bartenders are masters at their craft. We go to City Table time and time again because it’s OUR NEIGHBORHOOD RESTAURANT!
