“The atmosphere at City Hall was very nice, as was the food itself.”
“The waiter was fine, but the spineless manager would not come over to hear our complaints (crab cakes that smelled and tasted like spoiled cat food, tasteless brisket that was billed as short ribs).”
“amazing steak & raw bar.”
“i've been to city hall on several occasions in the past and if it wasnt great it was atleast a decent meal however last night was the final straw.”
“Our waiter was very helpful in selecting a fine wine to providing recommendations on selections offered.”
“This is our favorite restaurant to go to in NYC.”
“There are a few restaurants that you return to again and again for a favorite dish - City Hall has many.”
“The staff is pleasant and professional, and the wine list is extensive.”
“Despite snags, the main server never apologized once, nor were we offered any compensation, which is poor for an expensive, upscale establishment.”
“the waiter overly theatrical (when present, which was rare), the food was super slow coming out, none of our 30 and 40 dollar steaks were cooked right (burnt on the outside, rare in the middle), and the manager was blahse about his appology.”View Less
Lillias White on New Year's Eve. The Granite Room is beautiful and to see and hear Lillias White on New Year's Eve in this setting will be unforgettable!
Great Place, Check out The Granite Room. Went there the other night. Amazing food, but they were booked so it was hard to get a good table. I'm going back for New Year's Eve this year, where my favorite artist Lillias White is going to be performing.…
AWFUL - Go somewhere else!. I ate at City Hall last night with five others. The food is awful. The waiter was fine, but the spineless manager would not come over to hear our complaints (crab cakes that smelled and tasted like spoiled cat food, tasteless brisket that was billed as short ribs). I am not one to focus only on a restaurants bad points, but you should not be drawn in by the elogant interior - it is only lipstick on a flabby, snotty, inedible pig. This is New York - a restaurant needs to be a lot more. Go somewhere else. Other reviewers had the same opinion - this is not a single incident.…
Delicious Steaks. I happen to love the steaks and seafood offered at the quintessential New York eatery! I had to write because I was reading the latest review and am a bit dumbfounded. This person makes some serious accusations and claims and I eat here regularly and these food items are not on the menu. If you are going to lash out at a restaurant publically (which you are well within your rights to do) you should know what you are speaking about. I have never had a "bad" experience there, have there been bumps, of course as is with the case with all restaurants. The constant is that the service, ambience and food are always on - and if they are off, they more than make amends for it. Again, if you want to criticize a restaurant, you are well within your rights, but at least get your facts straight - it just makes it seem that you are just putting up a negative comment to be negative or vindictive.…
Lovely decor,nice servers,food was distinctly horrible.. I will admit,I got into the game rather late,only dining at City Hall in the past 18 months,but every meal I had there was ,more or less,inedible. Incidentally,i am not one of the types who love tearing apart restaurants,etc. in online reviews.We had nothing but good expectations given the length of time the restaurant has survived in Tribeca,which tends to be rather unforgiving,as in your place gets shut inside a year if you don't have what it takes. City Hall,a gorgeous space with decent waiter service (the "barmaid" is a disgrace to the trade),is on it's last legs as far as I can see. My wife and I found it hard to believe,ergo giving it a second shot,only to be repulsed again by raw chicken,wasabi mash potato "special" that were made from "instant' mash mix,cold and hard as a brick. My wife ate pork loin ,another special,which was burnt to grizzle and cold again !! I met a colleague there weeks later for a drink,who was determined to have some appetizers at the bar,once again,horrible. It appears to me CH is existing on the vapors of former greatness,it appears no one is minding the shop anymore. I don't take any enjoyment in writing this,as I am a lifelong downtown resident,and I have nothing but love for businesses who showed continued commitment post 9/11,but this place is exceptionally horrible and people should be warned in order to save their money.…
