Citizen Beverly Hills

Belly on up to the buttermilk biscuits at this hip hotspot on Canon Drive (right next to Spago). The biscuits, served with sides of chipotle maple syrup and pimento cheese, fly out of the kitchen as one of the many popular small plates on this menu by Chef Scott Howard. Other noteworthy options include the duck breast with kumquat sweet and sour glaze and the amazing roasted brussel sprouts with almonds, pomegranate and pecorino. The macramé-strung décor, as well as the cocktail menu, are reminiscent of days gone by, the latter includes a selection of tiki drinks as well as the "Three Martini Lunch." The crowd here skews young and hip (think man buns) and the large space opens to an outside dining and lounge space where you can see and be seen among the Beverly Hills crowd.
