Ciudad in Seattle

Trendy rustic industrial atmosphere with original dishes. A few 'shared plates' were enough for two and reasonably priced. We went for shared plates because my wife selected this place to try the lamb riblets. The lamb ribs were decent, but the meatballs and hummus stole the show. Plan on ordering extra flatbread for the hummus.4 stars as opposed to 5 for these reasons:My wife called in advance and they told her they didn't take reservations but there shouldn't be an issue getting a table. When we arrived the hostes said the wait was 1.5 hrs. I had to ask if the seats open by the grill near the entrance were an option, glad I did because it cut the wait time by 1.5 hrs. Disappointing that we weren't told there could be a wait on Sat evening when we called to ask and the hostess didn't bother to mention seating may be available outside the restaurant area. If given the option I would have preferred to sit by the grill under the heaters, made the experience that much better for me.Overall a good experience. A fun 'let's go check this place out it's different' event. We will go back someday.

Everything tasted better than the menu sounded. It was one of the best meals. Go with folks who share so you can try all the things!!

We still love Ciudad!  I so appreciate that they implemented the vaccine card before the mandates. It was a bold move but welcomed by those of us committed to safety for staff, ourselves, and our community.  The meats are as delicious as ever. The potatoes recipe has had a slight tweak- love it!  We really love the new desserts by the new chef.  (Very addictive- worth the calories!)
