Amazing experience! We went to the Golden Girls Drag Brunch for a Bachelorette party and it was great! We had about 18 people ranging from 19 - 69 yrs old and everyone had a great time. Customer Service was extremely helpful with booking the la...
rge group, the staff got us checked in with ease, the wait staff was friendly and efficient. The show was AMAZING!!!! We are already planning to go again for upcoming shows. I have nothing bad to say.
Really enjoyed the atmosphere. Stopped in for a drink and appetizers. The sauvignon blanc was great. Ordered a flat bread and the dip platter. The flat bread was great...pepperoni and sausage with hot honey. The dip platter never came ou...
t, so no opinion on that. I think a runner brought it out to the wrong table. Not blaming the server...bartender was super friendly and answered all of our questions about food drinks, etc. I will go back
Came in for an afternoon show and while that was fantastic and the food ordered was good too the service was a little slow. The server did his best to accommodate the overwhelming people that were given to his section. While some may say he was...
a bit rude, I’m sure it was due to having too many people to attend to. This definitely led to orders taking forever to get to the tables and with the people bringing the food to the tables to be confused and unorganized. The food itself was pretty good and delicious. Went with a truffle mushroom burger which was cooked perfectly and had enough of the filling where every bite had some of it. Paired the meal with a selection of their beers (sadly I didn’t try their wine) and they were all nice and crisp. Overall a great experience for to see an event at but could do with an upgrade on how to get food out.
I will not go to another concert here, nor at other City Winery locations. The concert tickets were quite affordable so I guess you get what you pay for but the environment and business model is down-scale.
The tables set up for 4 adults are ...
small and located too close together. Four people cannot sit comfortably. For comparison, it’s the same size as my niece/nephew’s Paw Patrol table which comes with just 2 chairs. City Winery’s table is higher but the surface area is about the same— for FOUR adults. The chairs have red, removable upholstered pads which are overdue for the laundry. They are nasty. And tacky is the requirement that you give the waiter a credit card when you order before the food is served, not afterward as in every other restaurant.
The service was adequate and the burger and salad I ordered were well prepared and delicious but I won’t return. I’d rather pay more for a ticket and be in a nice, comfortable environment.
Finally, way-finding signage is misleading. Following the signage in the mall that leads to a City Winery door that then directs you out of the mall, onto the street to the “entrance.”
We went to see a show last night in “The Loft.” Unfortunately, the service didn’t match the quality of the performance.
It took a while for our server to come over initially. She seemed pleasant and took our order for two coffees and two diffe...
rent desserts. The coffees arrived first, but about 15 minutes passed before the first dessert came out. By then, our coffee was already finished — it would have been nice to enjoy them together.
After that, we couldn’t find our server to ask for refills. Over an hour into the show, both of our cups were empty and we were still missing one dessert. When the server finally came back, she apologized. I ended up asking for two coffees on the house, which she provided, but it was frustrating that we had to track her down instead of having someone check on our table.
We noticed other servers and food runners moving around regularly, so we’re not sure what happened in our case. Poor service tends to stick with people more than good service does.
We enjoy the shows at The Loft and will likely return for performances, but we’ll probably plan to eat and have dessert elsewhere beforehand to avoid another disappointing service experience.
