    My husband and I had dinner at the bar. We had a great meal of the bacon fat popcorn, house chopped salad, short ribs and the bananas foster bread pudding. Jacob our bartender was great and made a delicious chocolate martini. Can’t wait to come back next year!

    The food, drinks and atmosphere were fantastic, but it was our server Torrey who really made our experience phenomenal. She was engaging, attentive, and energetic. The restaurant is lucky to have her! When we are back in AZ, we will be sure to return here!

    Took my hubby here for his bday, it was our first time coming here and I was excited to try it. Sadly, I won’t be coming back. I requested a good booth that was Romantic and quiet since it was his bday date. Instead we were seated at a tiny table with a view of the busy patio with families and it was cold with the door open, even though there were multiple quiet and moody booths available. I ordered the halibut which was cooked great and the flavor profile was on point. However, it was described as having peppers and eggplant with tomatoes (a spin on ratatouille) but I had zero eggplant and my portion of fish filet was tiny. Had I known the portions were small and with no veggies, I would have def ordered a salad or something to go with it.

    We had a wonderful dinner at Citizen Public House! The food was delicious. Brendan provided great service. It was a little loud for easy conversation, but still a lovely evening and dinner.
