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.
