    We've been to Citizen Public House three times now. Each experience has been great. Last night, Evan was our waiter and he didn't miss a beat. Very personable and attentive without being intrusive. The chopped salad is a must. I enjoyed the sea scallops, which were perfectly cooked in a lovely presentation. My husband had the meatloaf, so good he's ordered it every time. It is pricey, but we think worth it for the quality of the food and dining experience.

    Came for NYE. Food, service and drinks were all great but $70 per person for NYE was a bit much. There were a few balloons set up and the staff were dressed up but otherwise no real “ambiance” or set up for NYE. Our reservations were at 10:45pm and it seemed they were trying to get us out well before midnight. Will definitely try it again but wouldn’t recommend for events like NYE

    We went to this restaurant for New Year’s Eve. The food was salty, specially the main course. We kept drinking water, to be able to eat our dish. Our server was friendly, but it took longer than other restaurants to get our dishes, like if they were stalling. And she didn’t come to check on us often, to see if we needed anything. The noice level was a little high, like previous reviews indicated. Overall, I feel that the food was overpriced for the quality and service we received. It was not memorable, and I don’t think we will be going back to dine there again.

    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!
