    Excellent food and service. The seafood risotto was fabulous! The salads we ordered were very fresh and tasted wonderful. The beignets were to die for!

    The evening was a typical experience at Citrine, which is to say that from start to finish it was excellent in all respects. Great energy, excellent service, a willingness to accommodate special requests, and above all, delicious, creative, and healthy Mediterranean cuisine (with a little decadence and surprise at the end) ;-) This was a first time experience for my friend and she loved it too! Thank you so much Citrine, for a lovely meal and great time!

    This was our first time dining here and we will return to give them another chance at 5 stars. We started our dinner with the lobster bisque which was 10/10 followed by their pisco and whiskey cocktails which were also phenomenal. My husband had the steak and fries which was a little chewy but he enjoyed it very much, I had the Amish chicken which unfortunately was a horrible dish. The chicken was bland and oversalted, the same. I took the chicken home out of respect but did not consume it. The ambience was great and their service was nothing short of perfect.

    Citrine Cafe has become our favorite Oak Park neighborhood restaurant. Excellent food, outstanding service, and an unusual, inventive wine list. Always a treat, whether we come for a special occasion or just a weeknight nosh.

    We had a wonderful, fixed price 4 course meal and a bottle of wine. Each course was wonderful (8 in total since we each had different course). The service was fantastic, we never touched the bottle of wine, someone was always ready to make certain we had enough in our glass. The same for water. It was a wonderful evening.

    Such a nice Sunday dinner! I recommend trying the brussel sprouts, they were so flavorful! The owners were so kind and we got complimentary birthday limoncello shots! Will definitely be coming back.
