  • For the third time they try to bring me this exact same burger that was already made before I had even ordered it. I send it back and tell them to just take it off the bill. I don’t order more food.

  • replying to u/cayenne444: City Winery. Hands down. Went with a group of 8. I ordered the $26 burger. It came out within 60 seconds of ordering it, no exaggeration. I saw the waiter who took our order turn the corner out of sight the same time the food runner turns the corner towards us with a burger in his hands. Nobody else’s food is on the way. They put it down in front of me. I say “how did you cook a medium burger and fries in under a minute?” He stares blankly. I ask him to take it back and please bring me freshly cooked food, and to bring it with everyone else’s food. A burger comes back again, this time with everyone’s food about 5 minutes later. It looks identical. I put my hand on the fries when he places it down. They are cold. It is the same burger. I laugh and ask if he’s serious. He stares blankly again. I ask for a fresh $26 burger again. I tell everyone to of course go ahead and eat, and apologize for being difficult. I get up to go to the bathroom. I pass by the kitchen window on the way to the bathroom. The only thing in the window is a burger. The same burger. Sitting under a heat lamp. I know their tricks, but I’m like “nah, no fucking way they try this again.” Narrator: “they tried it again” For the third time they try to bring me this exact same burger that was already made before I had even ordered it.

    3 burgers were cold and not cooked to the orders specs. My medium burger was definitely well done and someone else’s was far too rare.

    They have the worst overpriced food, with small portions, and it's definitely NOT fresh. I paid $30+ before tip, for a small piece of salmon. And the service was ass.

  • replying to u/Intrepid_Recipe_3352: I have a 50 off $100 coupon for city winery, does that make it worth it? wanted to use it at some point

    It’s worth using it on drinks watching a show but not on the food…

  • I was at City Winery for a comedy show and had a very good (also fairly spicy) spicy rigatoni vodka

  • replying to u/ForTheBoysss: The food at City Winery is actually perfectly fine (not amazing but pretty solid). You can show up early from what I remember and order food/drinks before and during the show.

    Food is good wine is surprisingly aweful.
