Maestro is where my personal bar is set and Cityzen fell well short. It's very good, but not in Maestro's league.
We're in the minority here, at least from what I've heard among friends lately, but I agree with you. Just contrast the open kitchens. Cityzen is a bit boisterous. Maestro is virtually silent (only the chef and sous chef speak, everyone else acknowledges them into headsets). I agree, Maestro is all-around more refined.
