City Hall Cafe and Grille

Had a great experience over here was our first time coming into town. Only downside is the prices. They are very expensive but overall enjoyed our meal. The black and shrimp was very salty. Couldn’t really enjoy eating it unfortunately but everything else was wonderful. The owner was a lovely lady Atmosphere was great.

My 10 yr old great nephew was served a burnt & extremely greasy grill cheese sandwich tonight. It appeared they had tried to scrape some of the burnt off before serving it. I sure felt like leaving a 0 tip. How is suppose to monitor the service? Cook or waitress?? Our meal came out after everyone else was nearly finished eating. Valentines Day we ordered stuffed shells & received manicotti. No explanation! I have ordered a tower of eggplant twice & it was as black as tar & covered with sauce. You served lollipop lamb chops with blood running out on Valentine’s night. I think you have received 4 strikes for not quality food the 4 times we have brought out of town guest. The 10 yr old had to spit part of the sandwich in a napkin & had to dispose of it in the restroom.

We had a party of 19. They were very welcoming and made our large party work perfectly. The food and service was incredible!

I don't really have any complaints about the food here. I ordered a Greek salad with blackened chicken and it was a delicious and a generous portion. The service was good by my server but not as well by the person who seated me. I was disappointed that the food looked amazing on a a great glass plate, but the flatware was actually plastic forks. Understandably the doors were open too which isn't uncommon here but I did have a flying ant on me during the meal and a wasp wouldn't leave me or my plate alone while I was seated inside. I'm allergic to both. I did order a key lime pie to take home and share which flipped over and looked like a mess when I got home even though I thought I kept it upright. But with the salad, an iced tea and a slice of key lime pie, I spent over $35 for myself. It felt like a lot, even for the area.

Was told to go here by a local for dinner. AMAZING! Had the crab cakes and the Delmonico steak. I’m from MD originally and these are some of the best crab cake I have ever had. You could tell everything was made fresh. Would definitely go back when I visit Pagosa Springs again.

The price seems to be quite steep for a café, but my guess is due to limited dining options in the small town of Pagosas Spring. The dinner menu was by far not the most extensive, but I admit that I had a difficult time deciding what to eat, because the choices were equally appealing. In the end, I ordered one of the items on Chef's special, that was trout stuffed with crab meat and shrimp. Great attention was also given to the zucchini too. All entrees came with your choice of salad or soup. The buns and butter were the perfect way to warm up for the dish of the night.

Outstanding food and service. A definite must stop. Plus, it is away from the town's 3 year construction project. Easy access and parking. I had the Grecco chicken sandwich with a pasta salad side. Both are exceptional and flavorful. Service is extremely helpful. Their hand-made key lime pie rivals Key West's.

We missed the lunch menu by just a little bit. At most places that would have been disappointing, but the chicken wings and crab cakes were more than enough. Everything was tasty. The service was fast and pleasant.

Absolutely LOVE the atmosphere and food! It's a staple every time we come to Wolf Creek to ski....love the vibe this place has! Keep up the great work!

Food is consistently good. Service is great Key Lime Pie is a proper key lime pie, none of that fake green stuff. Definitely recommend

Small cafe in Pagosa Springs. Has a variety of food choices and unique cocktails as well as the usual beer and wine selections. Service was a little slow at first but when it arrived, full attention was on us with two servers accommodating our group of 8. Definitely worth another visit.

When looking for a restaurant they were mostly in 2 categories: $10-20 per meal or $50-100 per meal. I still have a hard time paying over $50 per meal, so City Hall Cafe was a nice middle ground on price, but excellent food. It's a smallish place and filled up soon after we got there (4:30ish) The service was great. Food was freshly cooked and we'll seasoned. We split the stuffed Mahi and had plenty to eat, plus saved a little money. The hostess warned us that the portions are large, which we appreciated. Everyone was friendly and we loved our meal. Thanks team! We appreciated that there wasn't a random add service charge that we've seen at some other Colorado restaurants. Our expectation is that the owners pay a living wage and incorporate that into their prices.

Waited for 45- minutes because they were busy, I understand. After another 45- minutes after being seated we had to ask if anyone was waiting on us and after another 10- minutes someone finally showed up. I am writing this review as I sit here. We had a 2-1/2 year old with us and only one high chair in this place which was being used. One of the worst dining experience I've ever had. As I sit here writing this still waiting to place an order we have 3-cokes and a water. I regret not getting up and leave for Sonic down the street. At least the service would be much better. I normally don't write these types of posts, but no one here gives a SHIT. If you don't have 4-hours to complete your dining experience don't come here. Ran out of time to give a food review cause we're still waiting for it.

We went there for an occasion and can't wait to go back! We had the crabcakes for an appetizer, then my wife had the stuffed seafood shells. $36.00 and more than she could eat in one sitting. I had the Surf n Turf. The Lobster was 8 oz, cooked in a wonderful butter sauce, the steak was a filet mignon covered in a mushroom wine sauce. Delicious! Served with a salad and mashed potatoes all for $55! Wrapped up dinner with a Strawberry Cheesecake! Overall great dinning experience. Friendly waitress, great food! I could've done without the new country music blaring on the speakers , but other than that, a lovely time.

Apparently under new ownership or management since I was last there. And not in a good way. The following applies to the lunch menu: The service was actually good...attentive and friendly. The problem is the food quality and value. Reading the menu I saw that they no longer have a half pound burger. Instead it is two 4 ounce patties. I take this to mean that they are using frozen stuff off of the Sysco truck. The burgers range in price from $15 to $18. So basically, McDonald's grade burgers at premium prices. Not interested. Instead I ordered the boneless wing appetizer. Six wings for $8. The wings were small. Very small. Only one was big enough to qualify as a small piece at just about anyplace else. Seriously, one piece almost as big as an egg and the other pieces about half that size. Worse, they were very dry. I take that to mean that I was served yesterday's leftovers. They were difficult to pierce with the plastic fork...I thought it might break the fork. The sauce was ok but who can't get sauce right? My lunch partner got a salad. A Greek salad. She was also disappointed. Normally you would see "the good parts" tossed in and well distributed. Instead it was just thrown on top of a pile of lettuce. But there wasn't even much of the good stuff. Three olives? This cost $15 and it definitely did not look anything like the pictures posted here on Yelp. The total pre tip bill for one Greek salad and eight wings with ice water and ice tea was $26 and change so I guess the ice tea came in at $3. Drink prices are not listed on the menu. This was not a good value to me. Good service, for sure but the food quality and quantity was substandard for the price charged. So, super disappointed. This place once had very good lunches but not anymore, I guess. Don't see myself returning.

Be ready to spend quite a bit, but the food is fantastic and the service is top notch. This is the fine dining place in Pagosa and a great option for dates.

What a gem. I have to say the name misleads you to thinking this might be another sandwich shop or fried brewery food. But it was just the change up we were looking for after a fun few brew pubs. Fresh and tasty, and hit the spot. My husband and I ordered the special ribeye and the Cappelli d'Angeli. Honestly one of the best steaks I've ever had in my life. It was cooked medium rare to perfection, and melted in my mouth. The pasta had a lot of fresh tomatoes artichoke capers and onions. It was a lovely compliment to the steak. I want to say our waitresses name was Jamie? I wish I remembered because she was so sweet, and timed everything well. She was there when needed and otherwise left us to enjoy our wonderful meal. Definitely would go back next time we visit.

Wife and I visited from out of town and went here for dinner. We enjoyed our time and the food was delicious. It's been over a month since we went so can't remember what we ordered but service was great and we sat outside so it was quieter and slightly romantic that I can remember. I do recommend eating here and if we visit in the future we plan on going back.

Best restaurant in Pagosa Springs...and we've tried 'em all. Huge, fresh salads. Good wine list. Great for lunch but be aware that they scale back the menu to appetizers and soup/salad after 2. But the Naan bread pizzas make up for the minor inconvenience.

We looked around for a place that had some seafood, as I cannot eat beef or chicken (I cannot digest meat, it makes me sick). The menu looked great. We were greeted with warm smiles and seated immediately. We started off with the crab cakes. I was unsure about the honey mustard sauce but it worked well. The crab cakes were pretty good size and tasted well seasoned. I ordered the blackened Mahi sandwich with fries and my husband ordered the special of the French onion burger and potato salad. My Mahi sandwich was amazing. It was well cooked and not dry at all. The fries were seasoned correctly and crisp but soft in the middle. The burger was really thick and tasty. The onions were handmade and crispy. The potato salad was average and personally needed a little more seasoning for my taste. Overall a great little place to go for a meal. The prices were good for a tourist town.

Overall, kind of a mixed-bag experience. Rather than risking having my to-go order potentially messed up by calling it in, I figured I'd order at the counter and wait. It ended up being a fairly lengthy wait, but it was lunchtime, and they were starting to get busy. In theory, the order shouldn't have been that difficult. We got two sandwiches with sides to go. One was supposed to have roast turkey with limited toppings and potato salad. The other was to have roast beef, gouda, more toppings, and pasta salad. What we ended up with were two roast beef sandwiches, and the one with cheese was in with the potato salad. I watched the woman write the orders down separately, so they clearly got messed up in the back. Points taken off for that as well as the lack of quality control in the front to confirm the order was correct before packaging it up. Once I got to my destination, realized the error, and did my best to correct the situation by disassembling and reassembling both sandwiches, we finally got to eat. My roast beef sandwich was quite tasty. The pasta salad was delicious. I'm not sure if they promote the fact their pasta salad has tuna in it, but if they don't, they probably should. I thought it was good, but had my wife also gotten the pasta, that would've been another strike. My wife had been looking forward to turkey, but she ate the roast beef. Also, she said the potatoes in the potato salad were undercooked and hard. She wasn't impressed with the experience overall. The rest of the menu, especially dinner entrees, looked promising, but pretty sure we won't be by again to try anything else.

10/10 would recommend. Great drinks and great food!! Cute outdoor patio and great service. Will be going back again on our 1 week trip here in Pagosa

Service was fine but the food was bad, the salad tasted old and unwashed and the steak was not worth the 60$ it cost. If you want a bellow average meal at the cost of a fine dining meal then this might be your place, otherwise there are plenty of other options and better places to eat.

We are traveling from Texas and thoroughly enjoyed our meal at City Hall Cafe. The chicken piccata was outstanding! Very flavorful and filling! My husband had the lobster and bacon wrapped steak. It was cooked perfectly and the sauce on the lobster was flavorful and not overpowering. My son had the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. Thank you for a great meal and great service!

Amazing food. Brought my fiancé here for her pre-birthday dinner. Ordered crab cakes, the carbonara and "The Judge" rack of lamb. Got the cheesecake for dessert. Everything was so good! Service was fast. We hardly had to wait for anything and it was all fresh. Small little place with good vibes. I was so happy we got to choose our own seats.

Our server was pleasant & attentive. It took about 30 minutes to get our food after we ordered. My husband enjoyed his meatballs & spaghetti however my pasta aioli was so heavy with the garlic that was all I could taste, I couldn't eat it. You could see clumps of the minced garlic all over the plate. Also the rolls were very dry & cold. Finally, the noise level was VERY loud. Not a pleasant experience.

Great service! We had to wait awhile but everyone was very nice. Drinks and food were good and they offer gluten free pasta!

Best creamy chicken Marsala I have ever had! The chicken breast was so tender and cooked to perfection. Looking for a nice meal after the slopes this is the place to be!

Excellent food lots of choices. Great bar good staff. We went for lunch and it was fantastic across the board..

Stopped in during spring break. Looking for a warm meal after a long drive. Food was absolutely amazing!! Definitely recommend.

After driving from Oregon we were wanting good quality food that wouldn't make us tired for the rest of our drive. This place comes across very casual, but the food and service are fabulous! We shared the Greek salad and chicken Parmesan sando. Both were great! The salad was fresh, almost too many olives (I never say that) and lots of feta. The tomatoes and cucumbers were also great. The sandwich had just the right amount of cheese and marinara. The bread was good and crunchy. Prices are higher than I expected in this area, but worth it. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend if you are looking for quality food and service.

Been here several times. This time sat at the bar. Service was friendly - but kitchen was a sh*t show. Ticket times were 30-45 minutes, fried chicken sandwich was RAW in the middle, asked for crispy fries & they were served soggy & cold. As we were at the bar & by the register we observed lots of apologies & discounts being given to unhappy customers. The manager needs to be there & dealing with the demise of a once good restaurant.

Food - awesome Service - awesome Selection - awesome Will be coming back next time we roll through.

I've never experienced anything like this. We walk into this small cafe and stand there for almost 10 minutes waiting for someone to even acknowledge us and seat us. Multiple servers walked by and no one said a word. When the host came out, he didn't even speak. My boyfriend had to ask him, can we please be seated and he very rudely said it's going to be a few more minutes. We left immediately. Do NOT recommend.

I e place with a good ambience the marinara for the cheese sticks was phenomenal definately will be back for the chicken parm

The food was good but the service was terrible (based on our one visit). We waited and waited for a server and for our food. I'm not in a big hurry to go back. We much preferred the Colorado Roadhouse during our recent two-week visit to Pagosa Springs.

First time here and can't wait to come back. Been coming to PS for over a decade and can't believe we hadn't been before. Westin was our Server. Super laid back which is perfect for us. We shared the crab cakes and you could tell they were house made- Fabulous. Old Fashioned Was On Point. The highlight for me was the music. Stick Figure Vibes . We love this place and appreciated how mellow everyone was.. Food Took A Little time but that's how you know it's gonna be good and should absolutely be expected when you are getting this high of quality. Bravo To This Gem of a Place!

Great food, wonderful service! They worked to accommodate us this week for a celebration. Loved the pork chop and wild berry lemon mascarpone Cake.

Food excellent. I had lamb chops. 8 lollipops expensive but good. Husband had blacken sea bass. The staff is very friendly and polite. Took 1 hr to get in. Then waited on our food for another 35 minutes after the salad. We had to complain in order to get attention about the matter. By this time the restaurant was less than half full. After all this, we caught a mistake on the bill and pointed it out. We owed 30 dollars more.

Food is amazing, and service is always outstanding. Busy place most evenings so be prepared for a short wait.

WOW!! That about sums it up... we were in a toss up between this place (the Yelp reviews were good) and going to a restaurant recommended by our hotel. We tried the place recommended by the hotel but when we arrived they had a long wait and boy are we glad they did!! Okay, so from the outside we were not sure what the experience was going to be like, but do not let its quaint appearance fool you, this place is a KNOCK OUT! The service was outstanding, from the moment we walked in; such kind, caring and attentive staff. The mozzarella sticks, corn chowder and Caesar salad were all on point. I had the Delmonico steak, with compound butter and added the shrimp scampi for $5, my husband had the Ahi filet with a peppered crust and Mediterranean sauce, the kids had chicken tenders and hot dog. Every. Single. Item was absolutely delish. If you are in Pagosa Springs, make sure you stop by. Their dinner menu is that of a fine dining restaurant with staff that are professional but warm and personable. Thank you for such a great meal!

We loved everything we ordered. And my wife and daughter were so happy with the gluten free options. And the service was amazing! Can't wait to go back to Pagosa and eat here again.

Absolutely best food ever! Best espresso martini ever. Chicken carbonara delicious! Stop in with friends that live here, we are from California and definitely will be back! Drew was our food server and we felt privileged to have him! Excellent service!

The menus posted on Yelp are out of date!! Based on the pictures, I thought this would be a place appropriate for us: 4 adults; 1 toddler -- looking for something sit down but pretty casual in the realm of $30pp with tip. The pictures here made it look relatively casual. The atmosphere is casual but the dinner prices are not! Entres started at ~$32 and we landed at almost $60 per adult with tip - 1 drink each. Food was pretty descent, but not worth the price in our opinion.

We walked in sat down and before we had a chance to look at the menu the waitress asked what we wanted to drink. I asked her to give us some time. She picked up the sugar packets and silverware and walked away. She came back and we ordered although she was out of what I wanted and had to substitute. The bread was soggy, she took the napkins away, we had not silverware, my sand was supposed to have horseradish sauce which I had to ask for but was given ranch. The potato salad had no taste and the potatoes were crunchy. I don't recommend this place.

We came here on our first night into town after a long 2 day drive. It was just what we were looking for, delicious food, great service, lots of great options, laid back environment. We'll def be back during our month in town!

Although everyone at this establishment is very friendly and the food was very yummy, I'm leaving this review solely for the hostess. She's literally the most polite person I've ever conversed with. She was attentive even after sitting us - literally the nicest person ever. Haha helped make it a great experience.

I try not to be negative in reviews, but unfortunately this one will be a bit on the negative side. I was anticipating good things when I looked at the menu. It is a nice collection of interesting entrees (not the standard burgers and chicken wings), and they advertise prime steaks. I decided on the Chicken Marsala, which is one of my favorite dishes. It was served with a salad, starch, vegetable of the day and a dinner roll. The salad was nicely presented, but I will say that one of my restaurant pet peeves is getting a salad in which all of the ingredients are placed separately on the plate. I think a mixed salad should be mixed. If not mixed, it makes it more difficult to eat because it is often difficult to mix it well if it fills the whole plate, which this one did. I don't like having to butcher my own salad. It's just a peeve, not a deal-breaker. The salad was fresh, crisp and had a nice selection of ingredients. The first problem was that my entree arrived when I was barely into my salad. I asked the server if they could hold it warm in the back until I finished my salad, but he said they couldn't. Okay, I prefer not to feel as though I need to rush through my salad, but I could live with that. The entree was disappointing. As I said, Marsala is one of my favorite dishes. The sauce should be velvety and smooth with a nice light body. The sauce on this dish was like flavored water. It was runny, with no body and no texture. The sauce wasn't emulsified, so it was thin and watery with little globs of fat floating in it. It was as though the sauce was just mixed together and wasn't properly reduced. It turned the breaded chicken into a soggy, gummy mess. The flavor was pretty good, but the mouth feel was way off. The starch was mashed potatoes, which were nicely seasoned and a nice consistency. All in all, it wasn't bad, but at $31 for Chicken Marsala, one should be able to expect that they would make a good Marsala sauce. All the ingredients were there, but it wasn't executed very well. I am hoping that this was just a hiccup. It's not as though they just threw a bunch of crappy ingredients together and it could never be good. Just seems like a little attention to detail and it would have been very good. I would hope that this was just an aberration. I will be willing to give the place another shot because there seems to be a lot of potential.

Loved it! Possibly my favorite meal in Pagosa and we had many!! The special appetizer was an escargot prepared in a way we have never seen and we've eaten many a snail! It was delish as were all our choices. The desserts looked divine but we had no room for them. The wine list was great and so reasonable for a great pour. Our waitress was awesome! She gave us good honest advice and took care of our table in a great way!

Have now eaten here 4x, and never disappoints. I had the Cajun trio pasta and it was phenomenal. Whoever is back there cooking knows what they are doing. Had house salad starter with balsamic vinaigrette-also great fresh mix of greens, onions, tomatoes. Servers and ambiance also great. Definitely our families favorite place for an excellent dinner in Pagosa Springs. Keep up the good work!

This is a pretty small place, but we walked in for lunch and were able to be seated right away with no reservations. The service was fine, but my friend and I both said that our server seemed to really have to struggle to be friendly! The food was very affordable, good portions, and tasted good.

First time trying City Hall tonight and it did not disappoint. It's a smaller restaurant so there was a little bit of a wait, but it's worth it. The ambiance was cozy & the food was delicious. The staff are all extremely friendly and personable! We loved our server and bartender. Make sure to grab an espresso martini

Stopped in while car was being serviced at America's Tire and Service and we needed to kill some time. Seated immediately, great service, terrific food. We had the Cowboy burger and Rosemary Chicken sandwich. Both where great followed by the key lime pie. If we lived in Pagosa Springs we would go back.

First and second time eating here. First time I only had a cocktail and the caprese salad. The salad was excellent. Returned the next day for dinner. I had the special, lamb chops. Plenty of food for the price. The lamb chops were very good. For desert I had the house special - key lime pie, excellent!! Service was also very good.

Popular fine dining with outdoor area for good weather. Need reservation at least in the summer. Good menu and alcohol.

The food was amazing, we brought our group of 8 and ended up needing to sit on 2 tables, the space is small and it's popular- it was totally worth it. The service was great, I'm so glad we tried this spot.

The best food I seriously have ever had! The pork chops had an amazing consistency, the way they were cooked and their flavor with I guess butter and definitely apples was the best! And their specialty drinks are good GOOD
