    Everything we got was delicious and our waitress was so kind and helpful with recommendations! I will say the tables around the room felt cramped because we were sat right next to people on either side of us and it was very tight. Other than that, service was great. We enjoyed the whipped eggplant, ceasar salad, soprassata pizza, Bianca pizza, vodka pasta, and the pavlova. The pavlova was unexpected- slightly sweet and sour with different textures. Definitely will be back.

    We went to breakfast there today and we had one meal that wasn’t cooked the best and the server and the manager were fantastic about it. They turned a not so great experience into an unforgettable experience. They were just fabulous and it just goes to show you what kind of place Olive and Ivy is, Top Notch! I wish I remember the name of the server and the manager. We will definitely be back!!

    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.

    We had a wonderful dinner, honoring the life of our daughter, Gillian Ragan, who was killed by a 14-year-old boy on December 9, 2023. Everything was wonderful however, the only issue was anyone that passed our table ended up, hitting the back of my chair over and over again as well as my head. Though I know a restaurant could get very busy, servers must slow down when they are around larger tables as to avoid hitting their customers. Our server David was remarkable however he had so many tables that we ended up having to wait much longer to order our food.
