I'm still kicking myself for not venturing into Citizen long ago. I found myself hungry and wanting a good meal a week back. Citizen had always been in the back of mind and I decided to make my way to Old Town and give it a try. Do not walk, run to Citizen.
I was greeted warmly by staff and a lovely atmosphere. Dark wood beams surrounded by warm butter colored walls and soft candle light. White table cloths and black and white pictures adorn the walls of this beautiful structure. I started with the pastrami pork belly with hints of horseradish that play perfectly with mustard and brussel sprouts. A dish that could be too rich if executed carelessly. Absolutely perfect. Followed by the scallops. Perfectly cooked to medium rare. Very sweet with the right amount of pan sear.
The staff is attentive and not overwhelming. I felt at home. I'm still dreaming of the pastrami pork belly. Well done, my friends. Well done.
