citizens kitchen and bar

beware. had a great meal. food was very good. went with another couple and we split the bill. we noticed the wrong amount upon getting the split bill. we asked our server, tony, why and he said he rounded the bill up so it would be even. imagine if this happens to everyone how much extra money is there at the end of the day!

dinner was free. i knew the manager at the time so dinner was free. upscale cafe food good for what it was. cafe food.

two meals at our table were undercooked (shrimp and chicken...). not only was the manager unapologetic, he also acted like we were the problem.

opens late. if you find yourself hungry and citizens is the only restaurant opens after midnight in mandalay bay, it is not a bad place. we missed our dinner reservation at elsewhere because the show ran longer than expected, we ended up at citizens.
two of us shared a turkey burger and a lobster roll, in fact, they're pretty good for what they were. service was spotty but still attentive.

i feel like i’ve probably experienced most of the decent burgers in town at this point and am starting to fish for restaurants that serve an ok burger. such is the case with citizens kitchen & bar that recently opened in mandalay bay. no one has suggested i try their burger, but it’s a venue that pushes their comfort food, and what speaks more to that than a burger? plus, with the rapidly declining quality of burger bar, mandalay is in desperate need of a good burger. so could this be it?

will not go there again !. met someone for breakfast at citizens at mandalay bay on monday for breakfast. was not busy at 8am. it is small and cramped, with small tables. we were seated fast and i ask what happened to "red white and blue" restaurant? and she just shrugged. waiter took our order and food came out fairly fast. the table was so small we had to put the bread on our huge round plates and put the bread plates on a chair, along with other table items, so we could use our coffe cups. food was barely warm, and looked really dumb in the middle of this huge round plate. my bill for one eggs benedict and coffee was way over priced even for vegas. $20.00 +. the service was really bad, we had to flag down someone for refill, when we were done the dirty plates just stayed on the table, even after he finally brought the bill. there was no room to sign the bill with all the plates! he never came back to get the bill, so i raised it over my head and the manager took it out of my hand, and i thought someone was stealing my credit card, as i pulled it back i ask if he worked there and he said he was the manager, so i asked him to clear the table and take care of the bill and he did. i told him of the problems, and so did three other tables while we were there. i don't think is was because we are older, but they just have very bad service !!!

horrible service and "ok" food. my daughters and i ate at citizen kitchen and bar after leaving the shark reef. there was not wait; we were seated immediately, which means the restaurant was not packed. after receiving our dinner, we saw our waiter twice and that was after i had to hunt him down and almost scream across the restaurant to get a refill. he brought the refill when he brought the bill... after we were finished eating. then, i had to hunt him down again to get to-go boxes. horrible service!! but, it could be because we were black; i saw our waiter checking with the other tables more frequently and the patrons at the other tables happened to be white. so, if you're a minority... get your food to go or plan on having to chase down your waiter for below average service :-)

husband and i went here one night. just passing by and took a chance. the best steak we've both had in awhile. his came with an amazing horseradish dip that i stole plenty of. they don't overdo the sides like some restaurants. the cheesecake was melt in your mouth amazing. would go again next visit to vegas.

average food (by vegas standards). had the chicken cobb and the ranch had the consistency of mayo which was strange.

i couldn't tell which was worse, the food or the service. my friends and i had a birthday party here and everything was cold or wrong. one person didn't even get a bottom bun on his sandwich. avoid this place like the plague.
