exceptional burgers. i was not excited about moving to wooster and leaving high quality food behind. and then i found city square. the food is exceptional, no holds barred.
although they do have a dining room, i am more informal and like to change into more comfortable clothes post work. i take my parent to the dining room, but i prefer to grab a bite from the bar menu in the bar (or outside, weather permitting) where the attire is more casual.
the bar menue is pub grub with a quality twist. cheese fries, for example, are thin french fries covered with the perfect salt and herb seasoning tossed with very very large chunks of parmesan (it is like they took a knife to a hunk of parmesan)...and then drizzle truffle (or rosemary) oil all over it. they are like no other cheese fries i have ever had.
their burgers are fantastic. they have found a way to keep the croutons in the french onion soup crunchy until the very last bite. their happy hour specials are great (i would pay a pretty penny to have the bison burger slider in a full size burger on the regular menu) and they have a deal with the wine bar across the street that you can bring food from the steakhouse into somar and drink wine to your heart's content.
the owner is often flitting about and clearly does quality control. he also does a good job of integrating local produce into the menue. he also owns the bistro across the street. i very much appreciate the sophistication that he brings to wooster.
is it expensive? for wooster, a bit. for new york or chicago (where i would expect to find this restaurant)? no way.
