The food was amazing! And the quiet ambiance enhanced the experience. The only disappointment was the coffee at the end. I would have expected a much smoother and less bitter choice by the restaurant.

Wooster

About the restaurant

Once known as the “skyscraper” of its day, the historic Germania Hall building, built in 1878, in downtown Wooster is now home to The City Square Steakhouse.

Award-winning chef Mike Mariola and wife, Emily, opened The City Square Steakhouse in 2008. City Square promises a dining experience you’d expect from a big city while maintaining its historic small-town charm, and has been recognized as one of the Top 100 Steakhouses in America.

The City Square Steakhouse is proud to exclusively use Certified Angus Beef products for all steaks and burgers. In addition to steaks, seafood, and other entrees, the inimitable flavor and delicacy of Butter Cake – City Square’s signature dessert – is truly the “cherry on top” of the City Square experience.

We had a family Christmas Eve celebration in a private room which was perfect for the occasion which included three younger grandsons. The room was perfect and as a bonus included karaoke which we surprisingly used! Such fun! Food was wonderful. We sampled lots of dishes including Peking duck all very good. Josh did a great job with service. Overall a really perfect experience and a reasonable value as well. We will be back in the future!
