Reviews summary
Tucked away in Georgetown, this restaurant offers a culinary experience that divides opinion. Many praise the inventive global flavors and expertly grilled dishes—like hanger steak, Brussels sprouts with burnt honey, and unique flatbreads—that consistently impress. The ambiance is lively and vibrant, though sometimes noisy due to crowds and nearby airport sounds. While several guests commend the friendly, attentive service and find the prices justified by the quality, others report slow, unfriendly staff and feel the food and facilities don’t match the value. Overall, it’s a spot worth trying for adventurous diners seeking bold flavors despite occasional service hiccups.

Second time I've been here and it's just so damn good. I was there with a few coworkers and did family style. We tried nearly everything on the menu and everything we had was outstanding. Can't wait to go back.
The flavors are supreme!! Every bite was an explosion of taste. Our server was helpful and sweet.
Excellent and creative grilled meats and interesting and unique drinks. Always a good time.
One of my favorite restaurants in Seattle. Staff, especially on the weekends, is super nice. The smoked yogurt is so good. The harissa has a nice kick. You've got to get the flatbread. And the grilled haloumi right now is one of the better variations (they mix it up seasonally) the watermelon is a nice compliment with the zataar. Plus, the cauliflower is always reliable, as are the chicken and prawns. Always leave super full and satisfied.
Went with three good friends, we easily were able to share food because of how it’s served. The food was amazing.

Great food, healthy and lots of flavor. Service was excellent too.
This was genuinely one of the best meals I've ever experienced. The service was outstanding, but the food was so remarkable that it almost overshadowed the service. My husband ordered the hanger steak with snow peas, while I enjoyed the kafta flatbread sandwich. We also shared hummus and flatbread, and everything was exceptional. I can't recommend this place enough. The casual atmosphere was fantastic as well, and the drinks were excellent, too. We can't wait to return!
This meal was truly outstanding. We all opted for the chef's choice, which included seven courses featuring a variety of small plates. Highlights included grilled peas in their pods served with an Asian-inspired sauce and a dish of grill-blackened cheese and tomatoes. The eighth course was a substantial plate of grilled chicken, beef, pork, and chorizo, accompanied by four different dipping sauces. To top it off, we enjoyed freshly made hot flatbread and exceptional house-made olives.
This was my second visit, this time for dinner, and it was great! The waitstaff were fantastic. The food is original and flavorful, making it perfect for sharing. My friend and I enjoyed a unique cauliflower appetizer, a kale and ricotta salad, and we ended our meal with grilled hanger steak. I highly recommend it! I was hoping to try the butternut squash dish we had during our last lunch visit, but I guess that's only available on the lunch menu.
Yesterday, while on a bike ride from the Kent area, I found myself in Georgetown. I was riding through the streets lined with restaurants and small shops in search of a bike shop. I finally found the bike shop, got air in tires. Being that I was a good distance from home, I noticed a couple spots where folks were seated outside for dining, was tempted but nothing stuck out to me. I started riding down S. Bailey St. when I rode into air tunnel that was filled with the smell of burning charcoal. Whoa... I followed my nose and WOW, I stumbled upon a gem!! Everything about Ciudad e.g. food, wait staff, grill masters, and the facility were awesome! The flavors of the food are unforgettable, absolutely delish!! Already planning a return trip with others in tow

This place rocks! First of all the grilled food is Amazing! The outdoor area is spacious for large groups or small. The bar will serve drinks inside or outside. Last visit was for a food truck event and they had a DJ and delicious food. Always a good crowd so get there early for a meal and stay late for a nice outside hang in the heart of Georgetown.
The outdoor seating area is quite lovely. I went for happy hour with some colleagues, and the walk-up window made it easy and fairly quick to get served outside. The restroom was clean and sufficient. Although the beer selection was a bit limited, I noticed that there were many other drink options available if I had taken a moment to check them out.
The cocktails here are exceptional! Mario truly has a talent for creating amazing flavor combinations. You absolutely can't miss the roasted chicken and duck fat potatoes—they're fantastic! This wasn’t my first time visiting, and it definitely won’t be my last.
I've visited this restaurant several times, and it was just mediocre. However, on my latest visit, the server was incredibly rude to my friends and me from the start. We ordered drinks and asked for the food menu, but the server's unpleasant demeanor led us to simply pay for our drinks and leave for a different restaurant. I won't be coming back.
I've visited Ciudad a few times and absolutely love it! Their Folino cocktail is one of my all-time favorites, and the food is incredible. I wish I lived nearer because I don't go out often, but if I did, this would definitely be my go-to place. Now I'm craving a Folino and some chicken!

One of the most original places I've ever been to. Mix of Lebanese and Spanish food. Amazing and exotic tastes, nice decoration, the food is very high quality and the service is simply great. Truly unique experience
The food is mediocre, and the atmosphere is disappointing. There are definitely better dining choices in Georgetown where your money would be better spent. Moreover, I've observed that some staff members seem to be working without the appropriate documentation.
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant, and I truly loved my experience! The Folino cocktail is one of my all-time favorites, and the food was excellent. I wish I lived a bit closer since I don’t dine out frequently, but if I did, this would undoubtedly be my favorite place to go. Now I can't stop craving another Folino and some chicken!
This restaurant is amazing! The grilled dishes are especially impressive! The outdoor seating is spacious, accommodating both large and small gatherings. The bar serves drinks inside and outside. On my last visit, they held a food truck event with a DJ and some tasty food options. There's always an abundance of food, so make sure to arrive early for a meal and enjoy a wonderful evening outdoors in the heart of Georgetown.

This place is fantastic! Firstly, the grilled food is incredible! The outdoor space is roomy enough for both large and small groups. You can enjoy drinks at the bar, whether you're inside or outside. During my last visit for a food truck event, there was a DJ and some delicious food. It always attracts a great crowd, so make sure to arrive early for a meal and stick around for a nice evening outside in the heart of Georgetown.
The drinks here are just mediocre; the place next door has better options.
