Joyce and I grabbed some dinner with our friends Amar and Suzing. We decided to stop by the new City Tavern in Culver City. The spot is nice. Great ambiance, more beer than you can imagine, but the fare is subpar. The poutine was decent, the burger was pretty good, but if you are interested in some southern cooking and want the shrimp and grits; don't. It was like eating sandpaper. Who fries grits into sticks and then places dry grilled shrimp on top? This place, major fail.
