    The service was SUPERB! We cannot say enough about our warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable server. She knew every detail of the menu and answered our many questions, made recommendations and found the perfect balance of being there when we needed her but not hovering. We all enjoyed cocktails and drinks; the Ol’ Razzmatazz, Citizen Sangria, and Summertime Fiction cocktails were outstanding. Now, the food…oh my gosh. Some shared that it was the best meal they have ever had. Members of our group ordered The Fair Trade Spare Ribs, The Original Chopped Salad, The Crispy Salmon, The Pan Roasted Halibut and the evening special; a Gnocchi with crema. Everyone raved about their meals and the overall winner was….The Fair Trade Spare Ribs! At peak, the noise level was a bit loud, but it did not hinder our conversations. We were able to connect and felt comfortable laughing without the concern of being too noisy for the room. I would highly recommend Citizen Public House to locals as well as out-of-town guests.

    We really enjoyed our meal! We ordered the beer cheese fondue for a starter and it was delicious, the sausage that comes with the cheese was out of this world. My only complaint is that we had a ton of cheese left over after dipping the sausage, bread and pears. My husband had a few cocktails that he liked and I tried the zero proof De Nada, it was good but a little bit too salty for my taste. I had the beef stroganoff and my husband ordered the short ribs, both were fantastic. We finished our meal with the bread pudding, which was great. I only wish the pudding itself had a little bit more textural difference. Overall, we were happy with the service that we received and really enjoyed our meal. Would highly recommend!
