City Winery

We had a great experience today at City Winery with a kids show in the upstairs lounge. The lunch menu was delicious and the service was friendly. It is truly a great place to see a show and really listen to performers. The staff was accommodating and parking was easy during the day.

City Winery offers a really neat experience! The live music is truly amazing. Make sure you go to see a band that you really like though because it is a bit pricey. The food is good, but a bit expensive and the portions are very small. The food options are also unique, so if you aren't a very adventurous eater, you may watch to eat prior to the event. Other than that, it is a nice time. The audience is quiet so that the music can be heard and enjoyed. They also have valet for your car for $5. Overall, a great evening!

Have you ever fallen in love? Felt your heart race, and excitement course through you, and all you can think about is your next encounter with the object of your affections?

That is how I will describe the truffle fries at City Winery.

I will be honest, that I can only speak to the truffle fries and wine, but, on the basis of truffle fries alone, I am granting this place four stars. They are perfectly cooked wedges of potato, seasoned with truffle, parmesan, and prosciutto; they are a culinary romance of the tongue, so much so that, after splitting an order with a friend, we decided to promptly order a second order. Following that, we started plotting how we could get the waiters to bring us additional free orders.

And therein lies the problem. City Winery is somewhat like a beautiful gold-digger, tempting you and asking for everything you have, all at the same time. It is so pricey that you (at least if you make a teacher's salary) are left wanting more. More free parking spaces (valet is $5), more alcohol (the cheapest wine glass was, I believe, $8), and more food (one order of fries was $8). The vibe is cool, the servers are great, and the truffle fries are absolutely worth the trip; however, don't come here for a quick and cheap rendezvous.
