    Went here for the first time for my birthday. Our table consisted of 10 people so there was an assortment of dishes that were order. The food tasted amazing and the drink selection was pretty good as well. Would definitely dine again!

    We had a last minute addition to our fairly, large group and they were incredibly accommodating. (They didn’t have to as it was the week before Christmas and they were busy.) Food and service was excellent.

    Our server was so nice, I think his name was Kaylen. Experience: When we arrived (had a reservation), there were plenty of open tables for 4. We were seated next to a large private party going on in a somewhat private room but there is an opening in the wall right at our table so we could hear all the screams & laughter. That’s a great thing for them but it got progressively louder as our meal went on. Unfortunately, it totally ruined the experience for me because it was SO loud. We even skipped dessert because none of us could hear each other talking. Food: Scallops were great! Wasn’t a super fan of the stroganoff… it started to split as it cooled off. The short rib bao was WONDERFUL!! Tip: I know it’s holiday season and it sounded like the private party was having a blast. Maybe find another way to accommodate other patrons so we can enjoy dinner too.

    We had a fabulous dining experience at Citizen Public House! Our server, Andy, was knowledgeable and made several great recommendations. The burrata was so good, I could’ve licked the plate, and the spare ribs were scrumptious and tender. We don’t get to Old Town often, but we will make it a point to come back!

    Great food, prices are great, staff wonderful. I can go on and on about how good things are. My only complaint is the noise level. With our party of four, we had a very difficult time having a conversation and had to repeat frequently. For that reason, we probably won’t return. Everything else was great and I’m sorry to not consider returning due to the noise level.

    Usually very good but this was second visit when seafood tasted old. Why? This used to be a highly regarded place. Manager replaced the seafood but this shouldn't happen. Not sure we will risk it again.
