just back and ate at these two on subsequent nites this week at the same time of the evening ....
note that if your Cit' experience was a year ago - check the menu, it changed A LOT since this time last year (we ate then too - same week - <conference held at Contemp>)
We liked the Cit menu a lot last year ... less so this year. They changed almost everything one the menu in some way and not much was an improvement to our tastes so in that way it was a wee bit of a disappointment. Halibut is gone - replaced with snapper ... stuff like that. (IMO they cut the quality of ingredients .... took out $$ stuff and/or substituted less $$ items ... but the prices didn't drop!)
THIS YEAR Narc' won for food ..... for our tastes .....
If you are going to be seated thru fireworks, Narc' has the best seats (if you get a lucky table ... we did) but if you finish justa lil b4 f/w, from Cit' it is a short walk to the boat basin of GF and you get basically the same view.
So yes, compare the menu ... the 2 spots are more alike then different! Service was very good in both but service has always been good in any GF venue IME
(btw an editorial: the prices are stupid high and continue to get worse. I had the 'surf and turf' at Narc and the size of the lobster was criminal for what they charge IMO ..... and coffee is now $9 per person?!?!?!? It's good coffee - pressed at table - but not $9 good. I had an Irish Coffee and volume wize it was about 1/3 the size of a typical Irish cof' at a good dinner place. Not 1/3 the price tho . . .)
