I was staying across the street from the City Range while in town for business. So, after working until 7 & checking into the hotel at 7:30, I decided to walk across the street to check this place out for drinks and dinner. Â I was meeting a co-worker there, and we ended up just eating at a bar table. Â
I was impressed with the menu....especially when I saw the "Ultra fit" menu options.  I ended up ordering the Ahi tuna which was  fresh sashimi grade tuna with asparagus, tomatoes and mushrooms on a bed of bean thread noodles.  A four oz portion was $17.99, which I think is reasonable for the quality and portion size. Â
The service was a bit slow in the bar area, but our server was very friendly. Â Overall, I was pleased with my visit and would definitely go back - especially for that yummy tuna.
The food is consistently great. They have a smaller portion menu that is a little cheaper but is plenty of food. Sadly, the missing star is service. It is spotty. I traveled here, stayed at the hotel across the road, so ate about 5 times here. Many of the servers are great, a few just don't seem to care. The good thing though, is management noticed and took care of it. Would eat here again.
Review Source:I took a group of coworkers there a couple of weeks ago and we had an excellent experience. Â We were able to get a table by the fire place. Â The waiter was amazing and so attentive to our every need. Â The steak was cooked perfectly and the wine she recommended was great. Â I hardly every order dessert but I couldn't resist the bread pudding. Â It was so good. Â I will definitely be going back. Â I prefer the Spartanburg location but this was in Greenville. Â Great job.
Review Source:I ate here with family on the night of the ice storm in 2013 - the place was deserted around 5pm because apparently everyone in SC can't handle a little weather lol. Â Being from Ohio, we were fine.
We sat right next to the center fireplace in the main dining and that was fabulous - we actually scooted the table a foot closer because the warmth felt so nice. Â Our server was nice, but not as well versed in the menu as she should have been. Â It took a while for our wine to come out and she did not put my father's martini on rocks as he requested. Â
The food was very good, I had prime rib with my mother and my dad had the blue crabcakes - those were particularly awesome. Â And the GARLIC BREAD - totally unhealthy but was so good. Â It is pricey, however. Â Overall we will definitely eat there again.
I wanted to add that we had a maddeningly confusing birthday brunch here a month or so ago.... We changed orders/seating/amount of people etc... and the staff still handled everything beautifully (with young children present) and the food was, as always, awesome.
Will be stopping in this weekend to see if the menu has changed/additions for fall/winter.
Never had a bad meal here, never expect to.
The decor is quite lovely, and I had high hopes for this place. Service wasn't too bad (though our waiter didn't really seem to be familiar with the dishes or preparation, he was very polite), but the food wasn't great. Spinach dip was ok, but a bit bland. Garlic spinach was pretty good, not too wet or under-seasoned. The Mediterranean Pasta was a disaster of soupy blandness, and didn't have basil the first time out of the kitchen. The noodles were meant to be angel hair, but were the size of spaghetti. I've spent a lot of time with angel hair recently, cooking various brands to see which I like in my home dishes.
When asked, the waiter said it wasn't angel hair, so I sent it back. The same plate came back with basil (yay! though it didn't do much for the taste, except make it slightly basil-licious) and waiter said the chef said the dish was made with "Cappelini angel hair." Angel hair-Angel hair? Hm. :D
I took a bite. Ah, bloated noodles. Mystery solved.
How does a chef look twice at a dish and miss this?
The sauce was a wet mess that didn't even pretend to cling to the noodles. The pan seared shrimp were chewy and a bit overcooked. I expect a pan sear to leave a slight bite on tender shrimp, tossed at the last minute with pasta to prevent over-cooking. Silly me!
All in all, quite disappointing--EXCEPT for the dessert.
The Choc. Volcano cake was delicious, though technically flawed. Flavor, for me, is more important than whether or not the cake is stuck to the ramekin (it was). After a long road trip, this girl just wanted some good eats and a bed. Good chocolate and a bed is a close second, but I wouldn't visit the establishment again. Glad to be leaving it in the rear view.
Skip it unless you're only going in for the Chocolate Volcano Cake & drinks.
I really liked this restaurant. It was in walking distance from our hotel so we had to try it out. Everything on menu sounded really good.
Drink: Blue Moon
Appetizer: Cocktail Shrimp & Blackened Chicken Spring Mix Salad w/Vinergrette dressing.
Main Course: Grilled Salmon Merlot with Asparagus
Dessert: Raspberry Creme Brulee. (This came out in a soup bowl... I expected a little dessert but it was a lot!)
Will have to dine here again if I ever go back to S. Carolina.
Having been here a few times, I'm very disappointed in a number of things.
Pros:
+ The menu is one of the few steakhouses in town.
Cons:
- Every single time I came here, they were late with my drink. Â Not a little late, bread and salad arriving on the table before the drink got there late. Â If you can't grill a cherry ahead of time, don't make drinks with it. Â No idea what could have possibly went wrong with pouring a glass of wine, but this was a remarkable fail.
- Twice they managed to incorrectly cook my steak. Â The first time, it was well into medium, not medium rare. Â Similar issues the second time around. Â Both times they corrected it, but it was still on the high side of medium-rare.
- To make matters worse the quality of the meat seems alright at best.
- Whats with the bread in the bread basket? Â It looks really processed.
Overall, it's just not a great restaurant. Â It tries to fill the semi-formal gap between Peddlers and Outback, but all it manages to do come off as a nicely appointed assisted living facility dining room. Â That being said, the food is similar quality, if this doesn't bother you, then City Range is the restaurant for you!
Our son was going to be in Spartanburg for the Georgia Southern-Wofford game on his 21st birthday, so we decided to meet him there to celebrate. We were looking for a "special occasion" place for dinner, and City Range seemed to fit the bill. I was a little skeptical because of some of the reviews, but the wife and son picked it, so off we went. I'm glad we did! We had reservations at 7, arrived about 5 minutes early and were immediately seated. The place was full, nice open dining room with a central fireplace.
Service was good, our server was attentive but a little forgetful on the little things.... we had to ask for water refills once or twice and the promised bread didn't arrive. But the food runner brought it out quick when asked. We started with the spinach artichoke dip, which was very good. Creamy, cheesy not too much spinach and the pita chips were very good. Entree's were just as yummy... my wife had the 8oz ribeye that was really a lot of food for her, and thin enough to be cooked to medium well like she likes without scorching it to death. It was very tasty. Son had the tuna & oysters, I had the black & blue tenderloins and crab cakes. The seasoning on the tenderloins was just spicy enough and the crab was creamy without being too rich. We finished off with keylime pie and the bread pudding. Along with the 4 mixed drinks between the 3 of us, our bill was a reasonable $108 before the tip.
This was a great meal in a great atmosphere. I'm really glad I listened to my wife and son on this one! This is the second year in a row we've been in Spartanburg for a football game, so if we're back again, we'll definitely come back to City Range!
On vacation so we stopped at a very nice looking place. Unfortunately that was the best thing about the place. Perfect atmosphere, nice but slow waitstaff then a very wobbly table to start the night. My wife had a crab cake and ceasar salad. Mushy cake and no taste to the salad. Waiter made a big deal about anchovies on the salad. My wife loves anchovies and told the waiter to leave them on....no anchovies. I had a blackened tuna with chorizo rice. Tuna was ok but overcooked, rice was a pile of grease. Save your $$ find a different pretty restaurant.
Review Source:Service was perfect. I ordered off the fix menu $20 and got the muzzles appetizer which was incredible. The caesar salad was authentic and delicious. Then the main dishes came out. The beef was horrible!!! The steak was tough, hard to swallow... Could have been eating chicken or pork and wouldn't have known the difference. Both myself and co-worker got the desserts that came with the fixed. Apple dumplings and cream cake... Both horrible!
Decor is nice. Tuesdays are half off bottles of wine.
Not worth it though...
Steaks are a meal that when done right your a happy camper! Tonight was not one of those meals. I decided to sit in the bar and grab a drink and dinner. After a reccomendation from the bar tender I went with the 10oz sirloin with spiced rub, mashed taters and green beans.
I'm not a big beef eater, so I expect a decent cut of meat, cooked right and flavor when I do. At first sight everything looked tasty. But a few bites in and tasty went downhill to bland and rubbery. Steak needed some flavor from the spices that it seemed like the cook forgot to add and all I tasted was charred grill marks. Taters were a bit dry and the green beans were overcooked which came out rubber bandish feeling to chew.
The decor and atmosphere was inviting and the fire place and sofas brought a comfy feeling to the bar lounge. Friendly staff and good service.
I would reccomend to try it for youself and see if maybe my experience was a fluke. Oh and remember that smoking is allowed in SC! Kinda shortened my visit in the bar to 1 drink. Didn't want to inhale.
