  Wanted to have a nice Saturday night out for some food so we tried a new place and it was a flop. The service was very slow for how few people were there eating. The food was sub par, I could have done much better at home. We will not be returning here anytime soon.

  I had the cedar plank grilled salmon. It was beautifully presented with blackberries, beets & sprouts on a bed of grilled asparagus. It wasn't dry but cooked to perfection. I had creme brulee for dessert & that was also amazing! The service was prompt & courteous. I would definitely come back again & recommend to friends.

  I really want to like this place, but.. We have been there three times now. The first time for drinks only. The place was empty so bar service was great. Drinks were good too. Our second visit was for diner before a hockey game. Again, place was pretty dead so the service was very attentive. Once again, drinks were good but the food was average (chicken wings, cheese curds, ramen bowel). Our third visit was for diner before a concert. We arrived ~2 hours before show time and they were already pretty busy. Drinks were again good and server was very attentive (and apologetic) as we waited nearly 1.25 hours for our food to arrive (burger and lobster roll)!!! My wife loved the lobster roll but my burger was overcooked. Our server did take a couple of drinks off of our tab to accommodate the long wait. Also, they comp your parking for event nights if you dine in the restaurant. So, if you keep your expectations low, you probably will be fine (especially if you take advantage of the free parking).

  A couple months ago my husband and I went to the Citizen Restaurant for the first time and it was superb. We recently returned for dinner and it was mediocre. The entire menu had changed. The salads were banal, the fries were out of a bag, not prepared on site. The choice of entrees were unimaginative. The restaurant went from WOW! to scowl. The only reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because the restaurant is beautiful and our server was very good. We will not return as we can get good service in a beautiful restaurant at a lot of places. What we wanted was a great meal together with great service. Very disappointing.

  Went for Restaurant Week as my wife and I had never been and the menu sounded good. We weren't really sure what to expect when we got there as it is attached to a hotel but we were pleasantly surprised. The server was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. We each had an appetizer and dessert. For our main course, I had a salmon dish that came with a very generous portion of grilled salmon. My wife had the scallops and was very satisfied. The beer list was nothing notable but they had a good variety. We didn't order cocktails, but they had a page of unique cocktails on the drink menu. We went for dinner but it looks like they have some good lunch and happy hour options as well.
