Fun place to grab drinks. Large, esthetically pleasing bar!

Disappointing experience after dining here with rave reviews the other times. Forgotten drinks, slow service, undercooked raw potatoes and practically raw chicken. ‘Come back for a birthday dessert next time’ - no thanks. Are you just going to remember us to give us that? Very inconsistent, do better. Not worth the money.

We were really excited to try this restaurant as we'd never been before. Went with 4 friends. Sorry to say it was a bit of a disappointment. 2 of us has the Wild Seabass. Neither one of us could eat it. It was so STRONG and smelled terrible, very fishy taste. Must have gone bad ? The burger was ok, nothing special. Sage and rosemary French fries were NOT flavored at all, scallops were just so so, duck fat potatoes didn't taste anything like duck fat. When I told our server my fish was bad, he walked off and didn't come back until we told another server. It was also extremely loud and we couldn't hear each other talk. We still had fun, but I don't think we will be going back. There are too many other choices in Denver!

Fabulous happy hour drink specials and small bites for a great price. Stayed for dinner and dessert and it did not disappoint. Huge portions and food was exceptionally prepared. Attentive and friendly staff. Nice little open grill/cook station as part of the dinning room, so you can see chefs making your food. We were thanked for dinning there on our way out, which goes a long way. Will definitely be back again!

Well, the music is great and the staff are good, but all of the food is either tasteless or must have been cooked with a pound of salt. Meat is definitely their speciality, don’t expect anything good if you’re a vegetarian.The apricots in the salad and the strawberries in the parfait were unripe; it is the middle of March, so a more seasonal fruit offering would be good.

My boyfriend and I recently celebrated our 3rd anniversary at Citizen Rail, and we were thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. Our server, Adriana, provided exemplary service, demonstrating professionalism, attentiveness, and a deep understanding of the menu. The ambiance was refined, the food was impeccable, and Adriana's assistance enhanced our celebration. Highly recommend!

Tried Citizen Rail for restaurant week. Great location, staff and ambiance. We opted for seafood on a Lenten Friday. Turned out to be a mistake. Octopus was just okay. Sea bass in a red wine reduction with veggies sounded great but the fish wasn't fresh and the sauce was nearly flavorless. We are confident our experience would have been different and delicious if we would have stayed in their wheelhouse and ordered custom aged butchered meats.

Usually love this place. Went for restaurant week and was bad experience. Everything had been under heat lamps. Even the aged rib eye steak. Terrible corner table with zero ambiance.

Went for restaurant week because they had a 100 day dry aged steak on the published menu, but when we arrived they said they had run out a few days ago. The steak was the reason we booked there and weren't really interested in anything else on the menu (we asked if there were other dry aged steaks available to order outside of that and they said no). So we shared a burger from the bar menu and charcuterie. We ordered it cooked Med Well and it was literally still raw in the very center, and because we split it, they had cut it in half for us and still served it that way. Sent it back and the manager had another one made and removed it from the bill. Overall we were very underwhelmed and with the variety of restaurants to choose from, we probably wouldn't go back. Service was great though!
