| - We were looking for a place to eat last Thursday and saw this place and it had some good reviews. So we decided to give it a go.
We walked in, and waited. And waited. And waited. After about 3 minutes (during which time my husband suggested we leave) a girl walking by said, I'll be with you in a minute.
So we waited...and waited...and waited. She finally came back, another 3-4 minutes later. The place was not packed by any means. There were a lot of free tables. I just chalked it up to her being new (maybe) and not knowing how to properly be a hostess.
We were seated and then our waitress showed up a few minutes later. We placed our drink orders, and received our drinks about 5-7 minutes later. We placed our order at that point.
Then we waited. And waited...and waited. We were sitting there for 40 minutes when our appetizers arrived. I got the caesar salad and my husband got wings. The caesar was very bland. There was barely any dressing on it. My husband said it was probably because I like so much dressing, but then he tried it and agreed it had no taste. The wings weren't bad, but the hot sauce was not very tasty at all.
Then came our main course (by this point we had been at the restaurant for well over an hour). I had chicken in a sauce with parmesan potatoes. It looked really good. Unfortunately, it did not taste very good. My husband got the steak. Now let me just say that my husband LOVES steak. He has successfully finished off every single steak he's ever been served. He has complained about a few, but never in the 6 years I've known him, has he not finished a steak. Until now.
The quality of the steak was absolutely terrible. The steak was not properly seasoned at all. The chef did get one thing right...the steak was rare which my husband asked for. But he left over half of his steak.
Our waitress came over at one point to ask us how we were doing. We both looked at each other and said...ummm...ok.
Then we got the bill. It was over 100 dollars for 2 beer, 1 glass of wine, a small caesar salad, wings, steak and chicken.
This was hands down the worst meal and service I've had since moving to the Charlotte area. My husband said he would much rather head to the cedar street tavern in uptown charlotte. Our meal there was probably 1/3 of the price and the food was MUCH tastier. And the service is always incredible there.
I will never EVER go back to the City tavern. This place was such a joke. The food was terrible, the service was awful, and the prices were absolutely atrocious.
We ate at the Cantina thats across the parking lot from in last night, and had the BEST experience. Our waiter was absolute perfection. we had 3 beer, guacamole, with nacho chips and salsa, 3 tacos and a chimichanga for 57 dollars. And the food was a million times better. Our waiter at Cantina also received a 26% tip because he was so incredible.
Save your money and your palate, and do yourself a favour and DO NOT go to the City Tavern on Rea Road!!!
