- SMStephanie Morgan4 days ago1.0Came for wine at a place named Winery and there was only one of the 3 listed available. Paid $15 for a plastic cup of mediocre wine. Would not be back.
- CTChristoffer Taylor-HartleOct 25, 20253.0The charcuterie board was plentiful for 3 to share. No real focus on service and the drinks are not worth the expense.
- DCDavid CamargoOct 18, 20253.0Decent spot to grab a couple of drinks and people-watch. The spicy feta dip is hands-down the best of the four options (but you can be the judge). The menu also includes flatbreads, paninis, and salads. Prices are on the higher side for what you get—but that’s pretty typical for the River Walk.
- JKJacqueline KellyOct 16, 20252.0I am a frequent visitor at City Winery. I come for the entertainment and the affordability of the ticket prices even though we're packed in the venue like sardines. My main concern is the food service. Just when I decided not to purchase food anymore, they came up with the idea that there is a $25 mandatory minimum for food and or drinks. Well I'm not a drinker so now I'm forced to purchase the food, which is not all that great. Nevertheless, I comply and order food. Not only do they take a long time to bring your order but they give it to you one order at a time. For example if you order burgers and fries, your burger comes out first then your fries come out an hour later. Who waits for an hour for a FRENCH FRY order. Whenever I invite guest I have to forewarn them that the food service is AWEFUL. It's embarrassing and takes away from the whole experience of enjoying the show because you're angry or annoyed because of the wait time for food. The host never comes back to your table to give you updates about your order, you have flag them down to ask. Why can't City Winery collaborate with other restaurants for advice on plateing food and servicing it as one order
- MOMarianne OestgulenOct 6, 20252.0Fantastisk beliggenhet. Totalt fravær av service og middelmådig mat. Her lar man muligheten til å skape et unikt sted gå fra seg.
