City Grill- Rochester

I have dined at City Grill multiple times and have always enjoyed the delicious food. The service can sometimes be slow, but during my last visit, it was excellent. Despite my preference for outdoor dining, the noise from traffic was distracting (which is not the restaurant's fault). The drinks were a bit weak, but my companion and I both enjoyed the swordfish special.

The food was decent, but not amazing. However, the server provided excellent service.

We enjoyed a very nice lunch at City Grill. The food was delicious and arrived timely. Service was excellent and it was a nice atmosphere. I highly recommend the turkey avocado sandwich!

City Grill is a perfect place to have drinks with friends. Vibey atmosphere, delicious cocktails. Notably the Mango Mojito. I had the grilled calamari and crispy Wontons with tuna. It was delicious. I have been there a few times now and it never disappoints.

City Grill was one of our favorite dining spots until last weekend. I agree with another reviewer 's comments that something has changed. Menu is different (and the wonderful wedge is gone! We started with a drink at bar bartender was very personable and did a great job. We checked in with hostess who took us to our outside table, as requested several weeks prior when reservation was made. She told us we 'd have to take a high top (despite several open tables for our party of 4 and you can 't have that one cause its reserved for owner . And then she said snottily outside seating isn 't even guaranteed . Server came over no energy, no personality, acted like she was working in a diner and just trying to flip as many tables as possible. We placed our orders, appetizers, salad and dinners. Salad arrived with our dinner instead of before, so someone screwed up. My husband ordered steak special, no fries and sauteed spinach. No spinach arrived but lots of fries did! My salmon was excellent and cooked perfectly. Will we return again no. Service used to be top notch, servers were interactive, helped make choices and had a personality not anymore! Outside music was super loud that should be saved until after the dinner hours. Someone 2 tables down from us was smoking. My husband and I agreed that there is a different vibe at City Grill and we both give it 10 12 months before they are reinventing themselves. There are so many amazing restaurants in Rochester....don 't waste your time or money here!
