Our Story

Inspired by coastal cuisine from around the world, The Citizen is a popular seaside tavern in Alys Beach along Florida’s scenic Highway 30A. Its the first restaurant from Quest Hospitality, the husband and wife team also behind Fonville Press. At The Citizen, local and seasonal ingredients drive both the food and beverage programs. Choose from our 18-seat bar, 12-seat raw bar, or 120-seat dining room. The fresh and vibrant flavors of The Citizen are showcased in a variety of menu items, many of which will be cooked over a wood-fired hearth, offering a nod to coastal, Southern fare with highlights including dishes like Calabrian Shrimp, Seafood Towers, grilled fish and steak with cocktails and wine.
