citizens kitchen and bar

solid place to grab a bite at mandalay bay. there is nothing fancy about the menu, or the restaurant, but, it's a nice little spot if you're in the mandalay bay and in need of a good meal. we ate there twice, once for breakfast, once for lunch, and were satisfied both times.

i had the turkey club for lunch, it was huge, with a side of fries. ingredients were fresh, bread had a nice crunch. fries were solid, not mind blowing, but, i wasn't expecting them to be.

for breakfast i had their "famous" bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. it says it comes on a ny style kaiser roll, it was just a kaiser-like hamburger bun. other than that, the sandwich was great. eggs were cooked perfectly, bacon was crispy and the home fries were actually my favorite part of the dish.

they also have a deli counter stocked with fresh made sandwiches, donuts, and other desserts for you to grab and go if you're in a hurry.

prices are on par for what you should expect in a casino restaurant (not cheap), but, the portions were large and our party of 4 left satisfied with both our meals there.servicewas excellent both times, our servers were very attentive and friendly.

awful!
the decor in this place is very nice, loved that and it's sign was pretty (ha, i know!)
theservicethough, one of the worst i've ever experienced.
the food was ok but i can barely remember it due to the appalling experience of the service!

firstly they tipped up our coffees with tea from their pot after us asking about 3 times for refills, which was then done with an eye roll from our rude server. we the told her about it and she proceeded to basically call us liars and that they don't fill their pots with tea.
i'm english, trust me, i know the difference between tea and coffee. i realize mistakes happen but to ignore them, roll your eyes and then deny them and not apologize is not cool.

the whole meal from then on was a disaster and the server was one of the most awful people to ever be in customerserviceof any kind. we eventually tried to get the managers attention but apparently she was dealing with a similar complaint with another table. we could see other tables getting annoyed and also waiting for attention from someone because theservicewas just that bad.

go anywhere else but here.

i came here for breakfast one day and i was promptly served upon entering. theservicewas great, as was the food. i had a latte, which was made well as well as a fresh fruit and yogurt parfait. while it was delicious, it was very little for a large price. however, i’d certainly try the pancakes if i come back.

had a frisco melt and it tasted amazing! thousand island dressing, two patties and sourdough bread (i think). it was delicious.
we came here at about 9pm and it wasn't packed at all but theservicewas horrible. we got out food and finished it before anyone even came back to check on us. wasn't happy about that, but will give them another shot because the food was so good.

the food is woefully under seasoned. the coffe reminds of a cheap dinner. the quality certainty doesn't match the price.

theservicewas polite and fast and attentive.

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.servicewas spotty but still attentive.

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 +. theservicewas 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 badservice!!!

horribleserviceand "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 averageservice:-)
