    It was a great experience at Citizen. I’m not from AZ, so I searched for many spots to have a nice dinner and landed on this place. It was phenomenal. Based on name and pictures, I expected a more causal place but the menu was upscale so I hoped for the later. It was the perfect date night vibe. Our group of 4 were seated promptly and our server was great giving us her POV on the menu items we were interested in. The starter (Brussel Sprouts) must have! Meatloaf, Short Ribs, and Scallops were all hits as well!! Had a draft cocktail, a craft cocktail and 2 off menu cocktail requests. Yummy! Only critique to provide was the timing of drinks to start. We ordered our starter with our drinks. We received and ate our starter before our drinks came out. Kitchen was just faster than the bar that night. Did not take away from our overall experience.
