I don't like that they charge a 3% fee for using a credit card. That is a cost of doing business and should already be built into their prices.

I bring family and friends to City Works when they are visiting. I have always experienced exceptional customer service and this time was no different. Our server always made sure our drinks were full never having to ask. The one thing that fell short this time was mine and my father’s fish dishes. My dad ordered the fish and chips and I ordered the fish tacos. Both dishes were lukewarm. We didn’t want to bother our server as it was extremely busy at the time, but we were disappointed to say the least. My mom’s burger was excellent (according to her experience).

We came after my daughter’s band concert, around 8ish. I made a reservation just in case and to get my points on OpenTable. We got seated right away at a high top table. Ambiance is nice. There’s a good selection of alcohol from beer, seltzers, wine and other spirits. We all enjoyed our food choices of rigatoni, salmon, spicy shrimp, bbq smoke chicken and impossible burger. I do recommend for family, friends, and work outing.

I’ve been here several times and tried different things. Food is always above average with great flavors. Try the cajun linguine, it’s delicious!
