    My daughter took me to dinner tonight to celebrate my birthday. The service is excellent, and the staff are very thoughtful, when they took us to the table they had a happy birthday card for me. The plates are very creative and the food is delectable and perfectly executed. I highly recommend the lobster bolognese and the veal. It has a refined and inviting atmosphere. It is a bit pricey; nevertheless, I enjoyed my birthday dinner at Citrin. Thank you Kaelan.

    We moved into the area recently, and finally got to try this neighborhood gem. There are a few Rosti locations, most notably on Montana Avenue, but I like the vibe--and the food--better at this location. The menu is chock-full of typical choices done very well. Lots of delicious pastas, salads, mains (staples such as Chicken Piccata and Chicken Milanese), Panini, Known for their rosemary roasted potatoes, a great side with some roasted veggies added. The menu is large, which is sometimes a concern, but almost everything I've tried in my few visits so far has been excellent. Portions are large and nicely done, rustic, simple, no frills. Good bread and excellent soups. My husband had a very fresh and flavorful Minestrone and I enjoyed the Roasted Butternut Squash to bring in Fall. Best to go after traffic dies down, you'll find parking is easier, unless you can walk. Service was friendly, efficient and unobtrusive. Recommended!
