    From the moment we walked in we were treated with care. The comfort of a calm and inviting ambiance with excellent customer service, food and a good time. It is wonderful place to bring family and friends. I especially loved the positive energy vibes. We never felt rushed. Just sit and relax at the white tablecloth table enjoying great food! Make reservations!

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Citizen Public House and I must say, it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely exceptional. Each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The Mac n’cheese was a standout — perfectly cooked and full of vibrant, well-balanced flavors. The ambiance of the restaurant truly added to the charm. The cozy, yet sophisticated decor creates a welcoming and intimate atmosphere, perfect for a date night, dinner out with friends or a special occasion. The soft lighting, warm tones, and attention to detail made it a joy to spend time there. The service was equally impressive — the staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. I left feeling not only satisfied by the amazing food but also uplifted by the overall experience. Highly recommend Citizen Public House for anyone looking to enjoy a delicious meal in a relaxed, beautiful setting!

    It was a great experience at Citizen. I’m not from AZ, so I searched for many spots to have a nice dinner and landed on this place. It was phenomenal. Based on name and pictures, I expected a more causal place but the menu was upscale so I hoped for the later. It was the perfect date night vibe. Our group of 4 were seated promptly and our server was great giving us her POV on the menu items we were interested in. The starter (Brussel Sprouts) must have! Meatloaf, Short Ribs, and Scallops were all hits as well!! Had a draft cocktail, a craft cocktail and 2 off menu cocktail requests. Yummy! Only critique to provide was the timing of drinks to start. We ordered our starter with our drinks. We received and ate our starter before our drinks came out. Kitchen was just faster than the bar that night. Did not take away from our overall experience.

    Went here for the first time for my birthday. Our table consisted of 10 people so there was an assortment of dishes that were order. The food tasted amazing and the drink selection was pretty good as well. Would definitely dine again!

    We had a last minute addition to our fairly, large group and they were incredibly accommodating. (They didn’t have to as it was the week before Christmas and they were busy.) Food and service was excellent.
