    City Winery stands proudly as one of the last few truly independent venues...
    I'm confused - isn't CW a chain with locations in a bunch of sorta hip cities?

    Since Mr. Dorf's email mentions no specific CW location, my presumption is that they're all owned by him (or the same group) and thus, independently owned.

    Yes. That's clear in the email. Why they count themselves as "independent" is really the question.

    At my last experience there, I did eat and as I posted above, the food was dorm-level. This is a very interesting choice, imo.

    What I don't understand, is that people don't spend at least $25 on drinks alone. I guess if they are drinking soft drinks or water, that may count. How many folks are doing that? As said upthread...how about making your food tasty and letting the chips fall where they may, don't bitch to your patrons about it.

    We've been there for dinner, and I wouldn't call it dorm level. It's uninspired, and a little overpriced. But it's not awful.
