Went here for dinner for birthday celebrations of 2 in our family. Walked in through the spinning doors and to be honest you wouldn’t know the restaurant is there if you looked for it beforehand . Had reservations for 5pm right at open, the inside is super nice, our server was attentive refilled our drinks every time they’re low and made sure to keep us satisfied with naan bread. All the foods here are delicious we skewers, the calamari and the scallops for the starters. The pastitsio for my main was delicious and than the desserts were also delicious, the server said that they have a pastry chef that makes them. Worth it to come here and most likely will come back

My mother-in-law hosted our rehearsal dinner at CityGate Grille, and it was absolutely immaculate! We had a private space for our party of about a dozen, and everything was perfect from start to finish. The food was delicious—every dish was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. The service was incredible, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure everything was seamless and that we all felt well taken care of. The space itself was beautiful and provided the perfect setting for such a special evening. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we’re so grateful to CityGate Grille for making it unforgettable!

Amazing service & nice atmosphere despite it being hidden in an office. All food was good, some great. Great scallops. Steak was a bit overcooked and not the BEST steak, but still good steak. Would go back again overall!

Nice place with great food and music. The music was at the right level for conversation while listening. During breaks the musicians would walk around and greet patrons. Nice experience.
Laura Kowalczyk
Great food and even better service. We went for their weekly special which was monkfish wrapped in prosciutto and also an almond cake for dessert. Both were unique and delicious. We also had some great recommendations for wine and an appetizer from our server, who was friendly and attentive. The restaurant has a nice wine selection as well. They do a lot of events like tastings and wine dinners too. We will definitely be returning to try more of the menu.

Excellent service, the food is always on point. I've been there on several occasions. On the weekends, they have live music. It's one of my favorite restaurants.

Last Friday, I took a friend there for her birthday to hear a live jazz performer. Everyone from the hostesses to the waitstaff were awesome. The drinks 🍸 and food were delicious. I don't know if this is a thing but they actually put my friends name on the menu, too cute.
