Absolutely will miss City Cafe once I move to Dallas. I love outdoor seating and great oysters and amazing food. The servers are amazing. Drinks are wonderful
AdnaFebruary 18, 2015Trendy place for brunch. Portions were not super big, but enough to keep you satisfied. Ordered the Baltimore Benedict which had crab meat in it. It was served a little cold, but still delicious.
Katie M.January 6, 2013Great brunch spot! Mimosas are inexpensive and poured in a tall glass & the Oyster Rockefeller omelette along with the Hangover burger can't be beat. Oh and don't forget the free mini Cinnamon rolls!
AskiaApril 20, 2015Cool place with a nice vibe and tasty food. The Cream of Crab soup is very tasty and the Baltimore BLT is soooooooo good. Bonus they have some nice background tunes to jam to.
👨 Gombz.April 19, 2011One of my favorite spots in the city. Nicely curated dinner menu of local fare and for those taking it easy on the wallet, sandwiches and such will not disappoint. All around good food and drinks.
YasminMay 24, 2013Their Moroccan grilled chicken salad is one of the best salads' I've had in the country and service is impeccable. Plus ambiance with a nice crowd makes this place a must visit!
Greg S.September 12, 2016Monday Steak night is half price bottles of wine and $20 steak (filet/strip/flatiron) with two toppings and two sides. The food is wonderful!
Jeff WeikelMay 26, 2013This seasons "Orange City Crush" is a must try. Seems like each time we come back here they surprise us with a new and exciting tweak to their menus (drink and food).
Anne FalstaffFebruary 23, 2015Wow. This isn't the old City Cafe anymore. It's now a cozy restaurant and a lovely place to take friends. Worth a try.
I love the Moscow Mule and Pisco Sour cocktails. Also try the crabcakes or crab cake salad.
ChaundraJuly 28, 2017Excellent wine list including many by the glass. Food is on the expensive side but well prepared and presented.
Vino50: Grape American Road TripApril 15, 2013Try the Hangover Burger - Hangover burger with sausage. Beef and over easy egg. I didnt have a hang over but it sure was good!
Marj MarianoFebruary 14, 2010The Lobster Mac and Cheese and Lamb Burger Entree is amazing. Also, drink a Get it! Berry Martini to kick off a night out. If you get there early (before 8pm) for Happy Hour, there's $5 martinis.
Himari NikoFebruary 11, 2018Lox Benedict was delish. So much salmon on a muffin, very nice portion for the price!!
Get a burger, and the truffle fries. One of the best burgers I've had, and the truffle fries Are just amazing!

Alcione StürmerJune 13, 2013The Baltimore Club Sandwich is delicious. Beautiful ambiance. Great company. Friendly staff. Don't muss it!!!
I come here all the time and am a big fan of the meatless nachos and fried oysters! City 75 cocktail is my go-to.
Stephanie TeepleJune 15, 2013some restaurants bring you bread before your meal. this place brings cinnamon rolls. FANTASTIC.
Alissa IrvingMay 13, 2012The chicken pesto penne is great, been coming for it for years: generous pesto flavor, good portion.
MelzieAugust 16, 2012One of the best happy hours in Baltimore. (Make sure to get the meatless nachos!)
Ty MartinezAugust 1, 2011Monday steak special is rediculously good! $16 filet, $10 off bottles wine...best deal in town for the quality
Michael MontoyaApril 18, 2016The food was good, service was just ok, nothing to write home about but the food was cold cold cold. I don't know about you, but when I order fried chicken, it should be hot.
Leandro LageraMay 28, 2016Not sure why I havent been back. Good drinks. Good food. Nice place. Hmmmm
Best Gin & Tonics! Also love their tuna steak with wasabi mashed potatoes and peas. Truffle parmesan fries are also delicious.
SmartLogicJanuary 23, 2013Don't be fooled by the name "cafe" because there's no wifi here. Go a block south to Milk & Honey Market for free wifi and better food.
- Ty MartinezAugust 20, 2012Best bread pudding on the planet! (and I've had my fair share of bread puddings)
The Chilean Sea Bass makes my penis twitch every time I have it or even think about it. Its ridiculously good.
The Original GataJune 3, 2010Went to City Cafe and had their nachos..OMG The BEST nachos I've ever had!! A must try!
