| - After about a year of my friend wanting to check this spot out, we decided to check it out and used Open Table to make a reservation since there were events going on in the city. We arrived on time and we're seated right away. Our service was good, with a waitress who was helpful and attentive but not checking in too often.
We had three people in our group. We started with drinks and shared the short rib poutine. With a huge list of beers on tap, we all found something to like. I don't care for most beers or ciders but they had some unique craft ciders to suit my picky taste. The poutine was delicious but the serving seemed a bit on the smaller side and all the ingredients were mixed together which seemed a bit out of the ordinary from what I usually expect poutine to look like (however I am not a poutine expert so this may be more common than I realize).
For entrees, my friends chose burgers and I chose the beet salad which is listed as a "starter" salad since I wasn't too hungry. The friends ate up the fries which came with their burgers and had leftovers on the burgers. The fries were very nice, and I tasted a few and can agree they have some nice fries complete with a little sprinkle of herbs. I enjoyed the beet salad, which was very fresh, fairly large (especially considering it was listed as a starter), and had lots of beets. However, they list it has pecans but I barely had one pecan in my whole salad which was a little disappointing.
Overall, I enjoyed my time at City Works but it seems a little expensive for what it is offered. I would come back, most likely for happy hour which is listed from 4-6pm on weekdays.
