Celebrated a friends birthday at this restaurant to start the night. Food was delicious, definitely recommend City Dipper. EVERYONE finished their dishes. Prices were alright, expected in the city but made up for their taste. They brought out a sparkler/desert for my friend & was perfect!

This place is definitely worth the hype. Went on a Saturday night, and at first I was worried because of how crowded it was and how loud it was. My worries were unfounded - the service was speedy and accurate, the entrees had a very reasonable portion size, and all the food was delicious. While it was a little difficult to hear conversation at my immediate table, the high energy and kindness of the wait staff was enough to make this a very pleasurable dining experience.
