City Tavern, Fort Mill

We had the Groupon for City Tavern but they closed. We went to the Shore Club to redeem our voucher. It was our first time there and we liked it. Our waitress was super friendly. Food was decent. My husband had a steak. It was just okay, nothing special, but was way overpriced. I had their specialty chicken and that was good and priced well. The steak was $26 and definitely not worth it. It was their special and we didn’t ask the price so that was on us. Would be visit again? Maybe, maybe not. I thing really stood out as good or bad.

Excellent meal and service! Chicken saltimbocca is my favorite, many flavors and large portions. Also enjoy blackened seafood with cajun cream, ribeye. Cole slaw is different and tasty.

City Tavern (now closed, unfortunately) and the Shore Club have the same owner but the dining experience has always been curiously different. We were disappointed on our first visit to the Shore Club and hadn't returned until recently. After City Tavern closed, we still had a Groupon for lunch so our only option was to redeem it at the Shore Club. I was hopeful but my hopes were dashed quickly. We ordered our burgers medium; they were served medium-well to well done. The french fries had that cardboard taste typical of frozen potatoes. The hamburger buns were dry and tasted like day-old (or, maybe, 2-day-old) bread. For the life of me, I can't figure out why the same ownership of 2 restaurants only a few miles apart should be the night-and-day experiences they are but we won't be returning until a consensus forms that these issues have been corrected.
