    FLATBREAD & BABA GHANOUSH DD
    Kathy N.

    Walking in, it looks like a mini butcher shop and is a little disorienting. Go through the big metal door to get to the actual restaurant (it is not a sliding door like I thought btw, please pull). The restaurant space itself is quite small, the size of a big living room, but the decor is really cute, especially the mural they got on the wall. Service was nice. For food, we ordered the coal roasted baba ganoush with flatbread, fried halloumi, and 1/2 pound of chicken thigh and 1/2 pound of hanger steak. You could really taste the roasted flavor in the baba ganoush and the flatbread was delicious, very soft and well seasoned. I wish the flatbread was bigger! Fried halloumi was my fav dish. The salad it came with was incredibly flavorful. I could not get enough The chicken thigh and hanger steak I was less enthused about. The chicken thigh was good but the hanger steak was way more raw than we would've liked. It was mostly still red. They were good, don't get me wrong, but I was lots more into the small plates. This is a pricy place but the flavors I think justified it.

    Good food with a nice ambient. Most of the food is great pairing with beer. We had almost their entire menu. I do recommend to order everything at once or ahead because there is quite a wait for any grill dishes, especially when there's a full house. The food doesn't come all at once so there is a break in between. Great place to chill with a few friends with some sipping and munching. Wouldn't be ideal for big group of 5-6+. Though, I always come back.

    Neither my friend nor I have been here before or knew what to expect, but we came out pretty full though! This was on a Saturday evening around 5:35pm, and we were a little confused when we got inside; there was a kitchen with a bunch of the meats that they offer on their menu. You have to go in one more door deeper to see the fully packed dine-in area and bar with bright lighting and a design that looks like the inside of an auto repair shop. My friend and I waited about 10 or so minutes to finally get seated, and even then we weren't immediately sure on what to get. Stuff here is on the much pricier end but it definitely doesn't stack as much compared to an AYCE meat buffet when split in half. We decided on the following: - Flatbread and dip: our dip was the hummus with zaatar, chili pepper and olive oil. The flatbread was big enough for us to split it, and this dip was very creamy with some hits of lemon and spice. - Lamb ribs: probably the biggest winner of our meal here. Richly flavored with barbecue sauce and sitting on top of a big bed of labneh (a creamy kind of cheese) that complemented the taste, and could have also been used as dip for our flatbread. - Hanger steak: rich, juicy, medium-rare and smoky. It was so tender to chew and held in so much flavor. - Pork collar: earthy, a little spicy and pretty salty yet nicely and evenly flavored. Also tender in the right way. Server was very accommodating with us since it both our first times here, and answered our questions about some of the meats and flatbread dip choices. This is a place I literally keep passing by whenever I hit up anywhere in Georgetown but have always seen a good bunch of people come here. Now I can see why, and I loved the bold flavors this place offered us!

    The server and host were very welcoming and helped me figure out what to get as I'm vegetarian, and there were not too many vegetarian options. I got the flatbread and three dips combo. The flatbread was incredible, for the dips I got the hummus mushroom and labneh. It's a well lit and open area a bit cold on chilly days.

    Hangar steak and chicken salads

    Almost tempted to gatekeep - w o w new favorite restaurant in Seattle. Everything is grilled to perfection, even the chicken thighs were melt in your mouth flavorful and soft. The sauces are delicious, the harissa is nicely smoky and lightly spicy. The coal-roasted baba ghanoush has insane depth of flavor. Even the salad dressing was delicious. Great cocktails, friendly service, and great vibe - can't wait to go back many times!!

    We came here for dinner before a show and had a wonderful experience overall. The restaurant has a super cool industrial vibe with colorful wall art and a semi-open dining space that feels both casual and trendy. Every dish we tried was full of flavor -- the grilled octopus and hanger steak were perfectly cooked, and the fried sweet corn was crispy and addictive! The heirloom tomato salad was bright and refreshing, and the cocktails were well-balanced and beautifully presented. Service was friendly and efficient, even though the place was busy. The only downside is parking -- it can be pretty inconvenient around this area, so plan a little extra time to find a spot or consider rideshare. Overall, Ciudad is definitely worth a visit if you love bold flavors, creative small plates, and a fun atmosphere!

    Had an amazing experience here! We ordered the lamb ribs, steak, and octopus etc. everything was grilled to perfection and packed with flavor. You can really tell they know what they're doing on the grill. The ambiance was super cool and added to the whole vibe. Great food, great atmosphere, and friendly service. Definitely coming back!

    I like Ciudad, really I do. There were just a few things that put me off. I liked it enough that I'll try it again and see how it fares. The entry is underwhelming, it is hard to tell that the steel plate with the name on the door really is the door to the restaurant and the host is inside that door. The staff at the outside grill told us, so now we know. The decor is nothing fancy, but that does not speak to the flavors of the food, wow! We were feeling adventurous and decided to take some home, so we ordered 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and a dessert. We ordered the Strawberry Shrub and the other non-alcoholic drink. They were both very good. We got the Flatbread And Dip with the extra 2 sauces and an extra flatbread. We had a hard time deciding which of the three sauces is our favorite, the hummus was good hummus, the labneh was very good, but for me the baba ghanoush flavor was excellent on that warm flatbread. We foolishly also got the Saffron Cauliflower, while delicately seasoned and cooked to perfection, we were starting to get full already and did not finish it either! From the grill we got the the Chicken and the Hanger Steak. The flavors and textures, especially with the addition of some chimichurri, of the chicken was heavenly. The hanger steak was rare which is too red for me, the waiter graciously took it back to get it a little closer to medium rare. (It would be nice if they asked how we would like it cooked.) The problem is that the expeditor took it back to the wrong table so they wound up having to make our meal over. Great chicken the second time around again, but still rare steak. We decided to not try again. I'll grill it at home, it won't be the same, but it'll be good! For dessert we got the Olive Oil Cake which comes with a spoonful of the same yogurt the labneh is made with, but spiced differently. I thought the combination was delicious, my wife was not overly impressed. We didn't go home hungry, just a little disappointed. But again, the good parts were good enough that I want to try them again.

    This grill-centric place is one of my go to places in Georgetown. Highlight are the various cuts of grilled meats from pork collar, Hangar steak, chorizo, octopus and chicken thigh. I highly recommend the pork collar, chorizo and hanger steak. An assortment of sauces are also options but my favorite is the chimichurri. Notable sides are the lamb ribs that are served over a shmear of yogurt, patatas bravas. The menu is pretty extensive so there is probably something for all tastes. The inside is not very big but when the weather is nice the outside seating is good for groups!

    Kim K.

    Such a fun spot for happy hour! The cocktails are amazing and they have so many unique flavors like a Beet Margarita. The potatoes, carrots, and chicken are my absolute favorites! The service is spot on and helpful. The interior is funky with cool decor and bench and chair seating. There is also outside seating and a bar.

    Rosa S.

    Had the most amazing food! They offer amazing variety of dishes. Lamb, chicken, pork, beef. The beet salad was surprisingly tasty - I never would have imagined how it would taste but I highly recommend! The sesame cookies were so thin crunchy and delish! The vibe seemed so calm. Went on a busy lunch hour but had a table available enough for the guests I was wish. Came here with a group of coworkers and it was such an amazing time! Definitely will be returning with my family and try out a drink ;)

    Kisses for all the chefs and staff here. The good was amazing, our server was so thoughtful and funny, and we had such a blast eating on the patio. Definitely go all out and share a bunch of their barbecue meats and small plates- it's the way to go! And don't forget to order some sauces to pair with your proteins. Everything was delicious but I especially appreciated the octopus, green salad smothered in Feta, and saucy harissa roasted carrots.

    Random pick in a random place, but boy was it a good one! Sunday evening, scrolled through lists of restaurants in "areas I don't frequent" to get some new experiences, found Ciudad and decided that "lots of meat" was just what we needed! Taxi dropped us off outside an unassuming building in the middle of an industrial area. You walk straight into the kitchen! The seating areas are "in the back" so to speak. But wow what a nice ambiance! Good buzz, full but not crowded. We got seated in the room furthest back, it was a little less noisy and perfect for what we wanted (good conversational volume). Service was personal and quick. We got our drinks within minutes and the food started arriving dish by dish shortly after. We are too much! But everything was just soooo delicious! The flavor combinations a mix between Middle Eastern and South American, something I would not have blended myself but it was a really good combo. Reminded me of a nice carne asada in Argentina, but with harissa, saffron and honey! What a treat! I'll be coming back for sure! Forgot to take pictures of the food because we just dived in with every plate that landed on the table!

That said, the food itself was excellent, very unique and the service was genuinely wonderful. The staff were attentive, warm, and made the whole evening feel really welcoming. I can't say enough about the staff, just SO lovely. So if you go in expecting beautifully prepared small plates rather than true family-style dining, you'll probably have a great time. Just adjust expectations on the portion sizes!
