Would never go here again for food, food was nothing to rave about and service was shocking- unless you want to have a VIP area in this bar at night, I would avoid as you will also have no where to sit after your dinner. Never again

CTZN - great Open Table - Rubbish. Didn't actually have a meal as Open Table allowed us to book a time when CTZN was shut. CTZN phoned just as we got to the door, were very apologetic and offered us a free drink. Will book by phone next time and avoid the Open Table website/booking tool.

Everything about this was terrible. The restaurant cancelled my booking 5 hours before I was due to have my meal. This was a very special occasion which was ruined by this cancellation. Management was poor and not understanding at all, we were treated extremely badly on arrival and promises were made which were not adhered too. Our new years was ruined because of this and I will never recommend this venue to anyone.

My friends and I ate here on a Saturday night, we booked our table for 8pm. We were greeted by a friendly member of staff who went through the menu with us pointing out the deal they were doing. She then proceeded to tells us about the 2 for 1 drinks offer before 10pm. Which we took full advantage of, especially the cocktails. The food was good, clean and prompt perfect food before a night out. We stayed there after our meal as the DJ started playing some good music and the party people turned up. If you're a group of friends I would recommend CTZN for food and a night out.

My partner and I went with our little boy and we couldn't have had a nicer evening , the booth we ate in made it feel extremely cosy . The staff especially Amy and Harry couldn't have been more helpful And we're so polite . The food was cooked to perfection and was delicious . I'd recommend this place to anyone .

Lovely food and were able to sit outside to eat as it was such a nice evening. The Shish kebabs and mint yoghurt dip were delicious. Lovely waitress and will definitely return... Booked as a Groupon but menu is very reasonable....
