    You cannot go wrong here. The chopped salad with the smoked salmon absolutely fantastic. And the Caesar salad with the steak Delicious. And don’t forget the meatloaf. Always get the noble bread course. Lovely cocktails.

    The food was delicious and the service was great. I was expected more of a pub but it was more upscale and the menu had something for everyone.

    Second time here, once again a winner. We even ended up with the same server, Torrey, and she also was once again fantastic! We were there for the Valentine's Day pre-fixe menu and enjoyed it immensely. We had the chopped salad, clam chowder, meatloaf (amazing!!) and bananas foster bread pudding. Walked out pleasantly full, not grossly overstuffed, with some leftover meatloaf for a weekend lunch -and it is excellent as leftovers. We will keep coming back!

    The food was WAY too salty. Everything the four of us ordered. Most of it was inedible. The Brussels sprouts were not cooked enough and very hard. We ordered the filet, salmon and short ribs. All were extremely oversalted as were the sides.

    This was our second visit to Citizen Public House, the first being a 50th birthday party last year in their private upstairs room. Both experiences were amazing from start to finish. We were fortunate this recent visit to have our same server Torrey, who made the experience perfect for us. Excellent well presented dishes, amazing flavor, and top notch service. Our recommendations are the chop salad, filet mignon, Guajillo chicken, and crafted drinks to top it off.
