This is for the St. Louis location. But the staff was rude, prices were not reflected in the quality of offerings, and the prize my friend won was a joke. With how much money the event made it sickens me that such a paltry and pathetic performance was offered by staff. Our table was forgotten about for nearly the entire event and we had an entire meet-up event- all of us agreed that we will not be returning.

Dawanda really made it a pleasant experience. Even with all the noise she was very pleasant and accurate with our order and checked on us multiple times which is pretty impressive

Dewanda was absolutely amazing at City Winery! She was attentive, friendly, and made sure our entire experience was perfect from start to finish. Her positive energy and professionalism truly stood out. She made us feel welcomed and well taken care of. If you’re dining here, ask for Dewanda you won’t be disappointed! We had an incredible experience at City Winery thanks to our server, Dewanda. She was knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly attentive without being overbearing. She made great recommendations and ensured everything was perfect throughout the night. Exceptional service like hers makes you want to come back again!

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction regarding my experience at the Hip Hop/R&B Bingo event at your St. Louis location on Friday, December 12 at 6:00 p.m.
While the entertainment itself was enjoyable, and the waitress's extremely professional, the overall experience at your venue was extremely disappointing. In addition to the ticket cost, there was a required $25 minimum food and beverage purchase,( I was aware of this requirement, though I don’t agree with such concept) as well as an additional $3 charge for a highlighter to participate in the game. Despite these costs, the show felt rushed and lasted only about one hour before guests were abruptly asked to leave.
It took approximately 30 minutes just to place my food order. When the fries were finally served, they were cold and hard. My drink finally arrived shortly before the event ended, at which point guests were rushed out in a manner that felt dismissive and unwelcoming.
After reviewing my bank account, I also noticed an additional pending charge of $5.60. The cleared transaction already reflects the full bill and tip, so I do not understand the reason for this extra pending charge and would appreciate clarification.
Although I left City Winery on Friday feeling disappointed, I was initially open to giving the venue another opportunity in the future. However, this unresolved charge and the overall experience have caused me to reconsider.
