We had the best dinner at Citywalk Eatery. The staff was kind and helpful. The table and decor were top notch. It felt very private and was quiet enough to really enjoy each other's company. And the food was so incredible — fresh and served hot. It was a lovely experience.

Excellent food, drinks, service and atmosphere. The filet was perfectly cooked and seasoned — paired with a Caesar salad and the scallops & risotto. Gabby was an attentive server, friendly and checked in at just the right times without rushing us. Will definitely recommend and return.
