What an absolutely amazing experience! I was ecstatic from the moment my reservation was made up to the actual date night. Everything was superb to include: the hostess welcome upon arrival, the beautiful candle lit ambiance, the waiter who was very polite and well versed in the products. He provided amazing food and beverage recommendations which were selected and appreciated. The presentation of the appetizer and entrees was awesome. My bae and I raved over everything while taking in the experience. As we completed dinner and prepared to leave; out came dessert, which was the highlight of the occasion. Upon making the reservation, it asked about a special occasion. All to say, it was Bae and I's 1st anniversary, OMG! The decadent dessert (cheesecake and raspberries) was embedded with gold candles, and a chocolate "Happy Anniversary" topper. As if that were not enough to create smiles and memories, Mr. Charles Levine, owner, visited our table and thanked us for dining at Citron. He cared to ask about our experience and even gifted us Citron memorabilia. You won't believe what happened next; we were adorned with some of the most delicious fine chocolates. Oh what a night!!! This by far was the best of the best. Bae and I plan to visit again in the summer to experience the outdoor dining and lake side view. Citron Staff, you've earned and exceptional "A" in our book Happy Holidays King Regards, Rasta Pie and Busta 12/21/24

Ideal break from the day (or more) long task of preparing (and cleaning up) a traditional Thanksgiving meal. Everything you would expect was available, plus many other options for those not inclined or with dietary preferences. Staff were excellent. Well trained and experienced. My wife and I look forward to returning regularly. Just a wonderful experience!

We had Thanksgiving dinner at Citron and it was wonderful. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Our server, Will, was personable and knowledgeable. I had been to Citron before, but my two companions had not, and both are eager to return.
