We had made reservations, but didn&#8217;t really need them as it didn&#8217;t seem too busy.<br \/>\nON one friends suggestion, we all ordered the special of the day.  It was steak and shrimp.<br \/>\nWe all had soup also.  3 Gumbo and 1 Pepper Pot.<br \/>\nThe soups were very good, although expensive.. When our dinners came we were disappointed, but didn&#8217;t make a fuss as we didn&#8217;t want to embarrass our friend who suggested the restaurant and also made the reservation.  Her last name is Yokim.<br \/>\nThe steak was tough and the shrimp very over cooked.    Needles to say most of our steak went back.  I had the feeling that the meals were already cooked and then warmed up just before serving us.<br \/>\nNeedless to say we were very disappointed.  I am always recommending places to out of town guests, but your restaurant won&#8217;t be on my list.<br \/>\nJust thought you might like to know, so maybe some improvements can be made.<br \/>\nSincerely<br \/>\nPhyllis Reighter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few years ago we had lunch at City Tavern in Philadelphia, a &#8220;theme restaurant&#8221; that features revolutionary period cuisine served by people dressed on period clothing.
