My girlfriend and I stopped at City Works for an early dinner over Memorial Day Weekend. This is a great new addition to Market Square!
Atmosphere: This may be the largest restaurant in downtown Pittsburgh. Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. There are several very large TVs inside for sports enthusiasts. The outdoor seating, however, is much better for people watching.
Food: The food was incredible! Definitely 5 star worthy. (I'm not a snob that only gives 5 stars to high end or gourmet restaurants.) for what City Works is, a bar/restaurant, the food was perfection. Do yourself a favor and get the Firecracker Roll! There's a perfect amount of spice in this Asian inspired chicken egg roll, and the avocado sauce was sooo good. The only thing that would make this better is more avocado sauce. For the main course I had Fish Tacos. The mahi mahi was cooked to perfection! Crispy outside with a light, flakey inside. The sauces on here were creamy and delicious. The salsa with the chips was also very tasty. I can't wait to try more food from here!
Service: The only minor downfall was the service. Our waitress walked by us several times without asking if we needed anything else. All I wanted was a beer!
All in all, this place is excellent! I highly recommend City Works to local Pittsburghers. For tourists, there's plenty of other more unique food options in this city. I'll be back for sure!
