    The server seemed like she didn't want to be there or to serve us. At first she was attentive, but we don't spend a lot of money and are rather conservative in our spending. It just seemed like she new that we weren't going to order a lot of food. However we did order beer, appetizer, and main meal. She just seemed less helpful after we ordered. Like my diet coke wasn't getting refilled, etc. She didn't check in with us, to see if we needed anything else. However she did want to point out that they had dessert options about 5 min before bringing the check. For Valentine's Day diner, this was a rare thing for us with 3 kids and finally finding a place we can have drop off the kids. Her lack of attention and what seemed like eyes rolling, kinda made me a little annoyed at the City Works. Maybe she really didn't want to be there and maybe she rather be their significant other. However when I am customer facing in my line of work, I never take it out on my customers. Anyways, food was good and maybe I need to try it again, just with a different server.

    The Bacon Cheeseburger was juicy & delicious. We also celebrated a birthday and were presented with a special group desert & candle… at no additional cost.

    Food was really good and the service we received from Angelica was exceptional. The biggest reason was my Ice Tea never went below 1/3 full and she checked back frequently. Such a simple concept that most servers just don't get.
