City Works (Mellody Farm - Vernon Hills)

Food overall was good. Don't get the seared Ahi Tuna salad. Tuna is pretty tasteless and was too cold - right out of the fridge. No dipping sauce either. I asked the waitress for any sauce, took 20 min and she came back with additional salad dressing. The Marguarita size is extremely small, would not order that again. It's a total rip off!!!

Usually we love the place especially outdoor seating. Yesterday, we were beaten by so many mosquitos that we had to move inside the restaurant which was very noisy. I wish they address the mosquito problem.

The food and drinks are pretty good. Pricing is a little on the higher end for what you are getting.

Using a credit card you don't know what the charge will be until you finally charge it. Can't they put both prices on the receipt as do most restaurants who add a credit card fee.

Great beer selection, great appetizers, good dinner. We were seated in a booth near the bar area, and we could still hear each other without having to raise our voices. The booth seat cushion was a little uncomfortable, and my back hurt after a while. That would be my only complaint. Everything else was great. Service was great. 

Great selection of beer, if you like me like sour one, you will find it there.

Don't let the name fool you, this place isn't just for after-work drinks. City Works has a serious secret weapon: their weekend brunch. I'm writing this review knowing full well it's probably being read by someone standing in a 45-minute line across the street at Buttermilk, waiting for overpriced pancakes. To those poor souls, I say this: come here instead!
While Buttermilk focuses on all things breakfast, City Works offers a small but mighty brunch menu that expertly tackles both sweet and savory cravings. From the Bananas Foster Pancakes to the hearty Hangover Bowl, every dish is well-thought-out and executed.
And here's the kicker: the drink options. City Works has a full bar with a vast selection of beers, plus cocktails and great coffee. You won't find that across the street. The wait is shorter, the menu is fantastic, and you can get a proper beer with your breakfast burger. It's a no-brainer.
