Located on the ground floor at the Broadview Hotel, this Eastside Destination for, stirred cocktails and familiar-focused foods. The Civic was awarded OpenTable's Diner's Choice 2022!

The graceful restaurant setting is redolent of the building’s architectural pedigree, courtesy of the original brick façade, factory glass windows, a stained wood bar, and a statuesque wine cellar featuring a robust selection of extraordinary wines.

    The Civic is closed for renovations and has been for months. Please take it off the APP so others don’t waste their time.

    Great place. Beautiful venue. Music too tinny. Needs some ceiling panels for acoustics and better sound system.

    We had a lovely Winterlicious dinner. Service was excellent. The food was delicious and the servings were generous. We live quite close to the Broadview and will be back.

    Severs were lovely but overworked. One to two servers for entire venue. Took 1hr 40 for the main to come out. Forgot a drink order. Hair in dessert. Ordered the mushroom tartine but it was just mushrooms on toast. Expected more given the reviews.

    The winter greens salad was basic with minimal apple and a mere 3 pomegranate seeds. Three members of our party ordered steak - two medium rare and one medium. However, all 3 were medium rare. The cavatelli was cold but otherwise good. The desserts were not as described on the menu. There were two wait staff who were angry with each other which dampened the atmosphere. Overall - disappointed; overpriced for basic food.
