    We like this place for the food, staff, and atmosphere! Takes you back in time and it feels like you are in a speak easy from the 1920's. Food is always great, as well as the drinks! Alice, our server was helpful and attentive to our needs and the lack of ability to pick something on the menu with so many good choices!

    While my children were visiting from the west coast, we scheduled a day for visiting the Ancient City and walking the galleries, St. George, and the holiday lights. At dusk we made our way to Old City House for a 7:00 reservation. It was a perfect choice! Convenient to city center, yet a step inside revealed a calm, relaxed, intimate setting for a perfect family outing. Two of us had the seafood cioppino, which was superb, loaded with shellfish and a wonderful tomato-based broth. My daughter's lamb shank was perfectly done, savory and tender, and more than she could finish. My adventurous but demanding son had the octopus, which he completed in complete silence. It was the perfect setting for a perfect evening. I can highly recommend this venue without a single caution.
