    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!!

    It was a great experience at Citizen. I’m not from AZ, so I searched for many spots to have a nice dinner and landed on this place. It was phenomenal. Based on name and pictures, I expected a more causal place but the menu was upscale so I hoped for the later. It was the perfect date night vibe. Our group of 4 were seated promptly and our server was great giving us her POV on the menu items we were interested in. The starter (Brussel Sprouts) must have! Meatloaf, Short Ribs, and Scallops were all hits as well!! Had a draft cocktail, a craft cocktail and 2 off menu cocktail requests. Yummy! Only critique to provide was the timing of drinks to start. We ordered our starter with our drinks. We received and ate our starter before our drinks came out. Kitchen was just faster than the bar that night. Did not take away from our overall experience.

    My wife and I were greeted by the hostess at the door who wished us a happy anniversary(our 48th). She seated us in a nice cozy booth near the back of the dining room, with plenty of romantic atmosphere. Our waitress, Abby, was very pleasant, attentive to our needs and came to check on our meal progress just the right number of times. in fact her timing was spot on. We thanked her for her service and attention to detail. Our appetizer, the bruschetta trio, was delivered quickly and was neatly prepared. Delicious sampler. We both ordered the Filet Mignon which was set red with roasted carrots, sautéed spinach, and smooth mashed potatoes covered in brown garlic sauce. It was comfort food, cooked to perfection with a satisfying compliment of favor. Overall, a great dining experience.

    I recently visited The Ends, and I was not disappointed! The experience was wonderful, with a romantic ambiance that sets the perfect mood for a night out. The drinks? Absolutely phenomenal—creative, balanced, and downright memorable. However, let’s talk about the fries. Our waitress enthusiastically recommended them, so we gave them a shot, but… don’t. They’re your standard frozen fries served with ketchup—nothing special. Honestly, we weren’t even considering them until her pitch swayed us. Lesson learned. All in all, The Ends is a fantastic spot. Just steer clear of the fries, and you’ll be in for a great time!
