I always enjoy dining at City Tap House. The food is very good and reasonable. Our waiter Dane was outstanding!! Very friendly and attentive! I have one recommendation, bring back the cubano!! That was the best sandwich! I was very disappointed when I found it that it was taken off the menu.

Delicious food and fascinating, colorful ambience! The robot was charming, but we would have preferred to order from paper menus rather than our phones.
