★★★☆☆ 3.0 Shannon J · Mar 2026

Came here in a Friday evening for dinner portion had reservations and were seated promptly. Before even deciding on drinks, we ordered the whipped feta. Over the next 30 minutes, I watched several tables being sat, ordering, and receiving their appetizers, and still hadn’t gotten ours. I finally flagged down the waitress to ask about it and it was clear she didn’t recall that we had ordered it. But rather than accept blame and apologize, she blamed the kitchen. Oddly enough, within the next 3 minutes, our food appeared, entrees AND appetizer. The whipped feta was very good, as expected. My table mate enjoyed his salmon, but I felt the gnudi was underwhelming and lacked flavor. The brisket and sauce were good, but the dumplings themselves were tasteless. I had two glasses of wine. The first

We celebrated our wedding anniversary at City Grit, and it was truly a phenomenal experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome and special. They even gave us a personalized card signed by each team member, which was such a thoughtful touch. We also had the pleasure of meeting the chef and one of the managers,Dalton, who made us feel right at home. The wine selection was excellent, and the staff took the time to share upcoming events, adding an extra layer of excitement to our visit. Overall, City Grit turned our anniversary celebration into a truly memorable occasion. Highly recommend it!

Came here with family for dinner and we were blown away by how good everything was. I loved the scenery and the music they played. They played Bad Bunny all night but at a low enough volume that it never felt overpowering, just a great vibe. We ordered appetizers, main dinner, and dessert. For apps, we had the whipped feta, which was very delicious with a smooth texture. Our waitress accidentally brought us two when we only ordered one, and when we mentioned it right away, they let us keep it, which was very generous. We also had the patatas bravas, perfectly golden and not too oily. So good. For the main course, we all ordered something different. The white bolognese, the gnudi, and the La Bella Farm moulard duck breast. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and interesting. I was especially

City Grit always finds a way to make every visit feel special. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the warmest smile at the front desk, always dressed to impress in the cutest outfits that instantly set the mood. As you’re walked to your table, you pass the open kitchen, catching a glimpse (and a whiff!) of where all the magic happens. Then you’re seated at the perfect little table, softly lit by a tiny lamp that makes everything feel romantic, cozy, and just yours. It’s like being at your own private dinner, tucked away from the world but still surrounded by that buzz of good energy. We’re regulars, so Dalton usually already knows what we’ll love, he always has a drink or two in mind before we even open the menu. It’s that personal touch that makes the service feel effortless

★★★★★ 5.0 Jessica Chiu · Aug 2025

After hearing so many great things about City Grit, we’re so glad we finally made it, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! It’s everything we’ve been looking for in a great restaurant. Alisa and the entire team made us feel so welcomed, and the food was amazing. The ambiance was warm and inviting, which made the whole experience even better. Can’t wait to come back for movie nights and Sunday brunches!
