Citizen Rail - Denver

It’s been a while since I’ve been to Citizen Rail and I’m very glad to report that it’s still an excellent restaurant. I love sitting at the chef’s counter. It’s like dinner and a show! I had the hamachi cruedo to start. It was as beautiful as it was delicious. I followed it with the Ribeye which cooked perfectly and huge! It came with long stem broccoli and duck fat roasted potatoes. Quite a deal for $61! I loved it all. I took about half home and made two more meals out of it. I’m already looking forward to going back.

Food is excellent . Service was good . Ambiance was ok. Table is very bare and trying to get a napkin was somewhat of an ordeal . For as pricy as the restaurant is I feel like they need to step it up a notch on multiple things

Food was mostly really great though I got the dumplings for my main and found them to be a little drier than expected. Everyone else was very happy with their meals and everything else I tasted was delicious. The servers were pretty good but less attentive than expected. Also, I very discretely have my CC to the server and they brought back the ticket on a hefty wooden clip and put it in front of me on the table. I would have much preferred they discretely handed it back to me to sign under the table plane so as not to make a point that I was picking up the check. Also it was a little too noisy for a business meal of more than 4 people. Also they asked if we wanted anything else but did offer up dessert menus. I’m personally not a dessert person, I just like to make sure everyone at the table gets a great meal and has dessert if they want. I’ll be back just not for a business meal or with more than a few people where I have to divert attention from conversation to flag down the check. The cocktails were probably the highlight for me so a this place will be perfect for a 2-3 person cocktail, dinner situation before or after an event.

What an outstanding meal. The server didn’t know much about the wine list but her manager was amazing. We closed the place down for a business meal and enjoyed every minute. Great food.

Enjoyed most of my dinner but as for the duck, it was quite dry. My husband's was not. Everything else about my dinner was delicious.
