The husband took me out for a night on the town, and I chose Citizen for dinner. \nI have been wanting to try citizen for some time now, thanks to my yelp buddies, and was very excited that the time had come!\n\nWe made reservations for an early dinner before our show. We arrived earlier than expected, no problem, they got us in right away.\n\nOur server was quick, friendly, and knowledgeable. He guided up through their specialty drinks and gave great menu suggestions.\n\nWe sampled a few of their specialty cocktails on happy hour, great drinks at a good price, and had the 'tender belly' bacon fat heirloom popcorn. I like that they list bar snacks and starters separately because this certainly isn't an appetizer, but its is a great bar snack. \n\nI'd love to tell you what my husband had for dinner, whatever it was he liked it, but you see my memory of the night is clouded by the memory of the decadent dream that is the Pan Seared Scallops.\n\nWouldn't you know, I had never had scallops before, well I have, but they have been raw, or just an ingredient in a pasta, I had been meaning to try them as the main course for awhile and boy am I glad I did.\nScallops my friend, have been an underrated chorus girl in my life, but this dish gave them the chance to shine, and shine they did. When given full billing they make you ashamed you had ever shoved them in the background in the first place.\nI will never again take scallops for granted.\n\nI am actually in quite a pickle, because all of citizen's menu looks amazing, but I don't know that I can ever enter this establishment and order anything but those wonderful scallops again.
