    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.

    As with our past dining experiences at Virtu Honest Craft, everything was perfect. The Asparagi was a beautiful plate, perfectly prepared and with outstanding combination of ingredients. This is definitely a go-to option on forthcoming visits. Our entree was the Bistecca Tagliata for two. A 40oz tomahawk ribeye with an arugula salad. Absolutely delicious. We chose a Sangiovese wine to accompany our food choices. The service was impeccable. Even though this restaurant is nearly an hour away from our home, it is well worth the drive, and we plan to return soon.

    We were impressed with the wonderful service from start to finish of our delicious meal. According to our son, who is a fan of fresh fish- “The fish was cooked to perfection and is the best seafood I’ve had in Arizona”. My husband and I shared the wedge salad, 22 oz 45 day aged prime rib & we indulged in the family style sides: sautéed mushrooms, creme brûlée corn, stuffed hash browns & Mac n cheese. We had a lot of food for the 3 of us , and no regrets. We shared a bite of the key lime pie at the restaurant- which in our opinion beats the many key lime pies we have tried in Florida. We took home a coconut cream pie- it was incredible. We now have to get back on our diets after enjoying this feast. What a great experience. We would highly recommend Oceans 44.
