    We were bitterly disappointed that the menu has been changed and the most delicious and exceptional plate is no longer available. The plate is "balsamic Brussels sprouts". It was wonderful, and on all previous visits we ordered two plates and saw them as the highlight of the evening. Balsamic Brussels sprouts were the one truly special item that made us regular customers over several years and that led us to recommend City Line to others. It's very sad that such a unique and outstanding dish should be removed from the menu.

    The waitress was absolutely fabulous she didn't tell us her name but she was exceptional. She checked on us frequently and made sure we had everything we needed.

    We had a lovely lunch at City Line yesterday. Our waiter was extremely attentive the entire time we were there, even helping move the umbrella to get us out of the sun. The ahi tuna tacos I had were fresh and delicious with just the right amount of wasabi. The outside patio is surrounded by flowering bushes and greenery and is the perfect spot to enjoy a meal.
