Sophisticated yet fun relaxed atmosphere. Great food and our server Katelynn was fun and knowledgeable with menu items. Loved the location of it being right off the beautiful lobby of the Lenox. We will be sure to return.

Tyrone is a very good server. Food is reasonably priced, excellent service and good food. Oysters are just OK. Not shucked properly, muscle remained attached to shell. Restaurant should try oysters from East Dennis Cape Cod. My family & I enjoyed the evening.

We were looking for a breakfast that was atmospheric, but not too pricey. We found it in the Lenox Hotel at the City Table. The food was prepared to perfection and the service was OUTSTANDING. If you want a nice pleasant, relaxing breakfast, this is the place. They will make you feel very welcome.

City Table served dozens of law enforcement and investigators during the week following the Marathon bombing: four meals a day to about 350 people, reportedly. The hotel was in the middle of the closed area and it served as an important respite to workers. When it reopened, we wanted to go there to support them and honor their service. And,... More

The City Table was excellent. We had dinner and breakfast there. Service was great especially our breakfast server. He was very personable and attentive. My coffee cup never got below halfway. All of the meals were outstanding. We had dinner on a Friday night so the noise from the bar area was a little loud, but that is the only... More

We were going through the restaurant reviews on a recent trip to Boston and couldn't find anything to excite us. My daughter noticed City Table and we decided to go in. We were pleased with everything we ordered and the service was excellent also.

You have to try the buttermilk pancakes on the brunch menu in the weekend, honestly, to die for. Nice ambiance, great service. Even when we stay in another hotel, we go to the Lenox for breakfast!

Went to City Table for a Saturday morning breakfast with my friend while on vacation. I will say that I had some doubts given that it was located within a hotel - but my friend who was a local said it had a good reputation. It's worth mentioning that my friend went with another local friend of hers about two... More

This restaurant is located in the Lenox Hotel. The menu is concise and offers a bit of everything. Great food, great service and I love the atmosphere of the restaurant as well as the hotel. Stop by the City Bar for a drink after dinner. I have been there quite a few times and have not been disappointed.
