Four people in our group ordered four different meals and we shared two appetizers. Everything was delicious with enough to take home for lunch the next day. The braised lamb was outstanding.

Wooster

About the restaurant

Once known as the “skyscraper” of its day, the historic Germania Hall building, built in 1878, in downtown Wooster is now home to The City Square Steakhouse.

Award-winning chef Mike Mariola and wife, Emily, opened The City Square Steakhouse in 2008. City Square promises a dining experience you’d expect from a big city while maintaining its historic small-town charm, and has been recognized as one of the Top 100 Steakhouses in America.

The City Square Steakhouse is proud to exclusively use Certified Angus Beef products for all steaks and burgers. In addition to steaks, seafood, and other entrees, the inimitable flavor and delicacy of Butter Cake – City Square’s signature dessert – is truly the “cherry on top” of the City Square experience.

Very nice atmosphere. We were seated promptly. Our server, Deb, was outstanding and a sweetheart. She was attentive, funny, and conversational, without ever being overbearing. Everything a server should be! I ordered a smoked Old Fashioned, and she ever did the smoking of the drink at our table so the smoke would not dissipate on the trip from the bar to the table! Food was excellently prepared and plentiful. All in all a great night out. Thanks Deb!
