    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Citizen Public House and I must say, it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely exceptional. Each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The Mac n’cheese was a standout — perfectly cooked and full of vibrant, well-balanced flavors. The ambiance of the restaurant truly added to the charm. The cozy, yet sophisticated decor creates a welcoming and intimate atmosphere, perfect for a date night, dinner out with friends or a special occasion. The soft lighting, warm tones, and attention to detail made it a joy to spend time there. The service was equally impressive — the staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. I left feeling not only satisfied by the amazing food but also uplifted by the overall experience. Highly recommend Citizen Public House for anyone looking to enjoy a delicious meal in a relaxed, beautiful setting!

    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!!

    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.
