"Ciudad is an essential first date spot because it’s incredibly adaptable. Spicy carrot margaritas and fava bean falafel at the bar? Quick and easy. A full spread of grilled meats like porcini-rubbed pork collar and tahini-marinated chicken on the patio? Go for it. If you run out of things to talk about, the painted wall mural featuring creepy characters comes in for the assist." - aimee rizzo
"Among the dives and breweries dotting Georgetown’s industrial landscape is Ciudad, a boisterous Middle Eastern-influenced spot that’s good for large groups starting out the night. Nab a seat outside where the atmosphere feels like someone’s cool cookout as a charcoal grill sears tasty hanger steaks and seafood (you order by the weight to share). Inside, the look is more “modern art gallery” with concrete floors and a mural depicting some sort of demonic parade. Beyond those grilled meats, get the hummus and smoky yogurt dips for the table (with flatbreads), plus a round of spicy carrot margaritas, and everyone will be happy." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"Ciudad is a fun, colorful Georgetown spot for a mix-and-match charcoal-grilled dinner. The menu is immensely customizable for various price needs—maybe one person wants to do a quarter-pound each of tahini chicken and shawarma-spiced shrimp, and someone else wants to splurge on octopus. Do it all, especially alongside a round of spicy carrot margaritas. Then, match your friends’ personalities to each character in the creepy cartoon mural. (We’re the hippo cut in half.)" - aimee rizzo
"A Georgetown Mediterranean restaurant that will be bringing on Taylor Thornhill to run the kitchen following his departure from the steakhouse." - Harry Cheadle
"There’s a lot to love about Ciudad. We love that it’s open daily for both lunch and dinner, and we love the tremendous flavors that the charcoal grill imparts on both meat and vegetables. We love that you can order items like hanger steak, pork collar, shawarma-spiced shrimp, and mixed vegetables by the quarter-pound. Supplement your grilled items with small plates, flatbread, and a variety of sauces (think chimichurri, harissa, mojo rojo and the like) that reflect the influence that Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Greece, and the entire Mediterranean region have on the restaurant. Add in creative cocktails and colorful flourishes in the dining room, and you’ll be making excuses to go to Georgetown (one of Seattle’s most underrated neighborhoods). –Jay Friedman" - Eater Staff
