Always love Citizen. Great food, great drinks, great service, great ambiance. BUT, it seems that they have cut their portions in half (meatloaf is the only thing we notice has stayed the same). The value is just not the same. Scallops are tiny now, the sides are cut in half. It's like someone told the chef to cut all in half. They might have to get half the customers before they go back to better value. It used to be good value and very consistent. Now it's consistently poor value. Hopefully it goes back to normal soon because we will miss going there in the meantime.

Really delicious dinner and excellent service. Read about this place on multiple lists before traveling to the area. I don’t drink so I love when there are mocktails on the menu. Pork belly pastrami with the rye spetzle was incredible. Our 16 y/o had the burger and said it was the best she’s ever had. Scallops were perfectly cooked and the sweet corn grits complimented them perfectly. We had the black and tan pot de crème for dessert - so decadent and delicious. Service was excellent.

Inviting atmosphere, low key. Very nice staff and attentive waiter. The food was very good. The scallops were very sweet; however the greens topping was chewy and woody. Detracted a bit from the delicious scallops. The chopped salad was yummy and the meatloaf was also tasty. We requested an expresso and hot tea after dinner. Nope, neither were available??? Unexpected at a restaurant of this caliber and a lost revenue stream for the establishment. They did offer one lousy cup of coffee (stale tasting) really a shame on a parting note.

Delicious food and craft cocktails. We had the Fondue for an appetizer. It was happy hour so we had the rose garland craft cocktail (very similar to an old fashion). For dinner my wife had the chopped salad and I had the scallops with grits. Both were excellent. Service was very attentive. We always enjoy going there when we are in Scottsdale.

The food here was so disappointing. The beer cheese fondue was cold and congealing already when served. The burger was grey in color, small, and overcooked…like a hockey puck, bun was super dry. “Famous” chopped salad was overdressed and underwhelming. The only dish we enjoyed was the bone marrow. Cannot recommend.
