    Citron 👏👏👏👏👏The attention from the entire staff along with the food and presentation was a night to cherish. Myself and three guests talked about our dining experience at Citron as we drove home. If you want the Michelin experience I recommend Citron at Quarry Lakes!

    Pris fixed for Valentine's Day was a hood selection , but the quinoa amuse bouche was a little dry, as was the risotto. I had the lamb shank for my entire, and it was superb. The dessert was pretty, but again, a little dry.

    Just went here for Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. Of course, there was a four course pre fixe menu with no option of using the standard menu. What was particularly frustrating was the fact that my 11 - and 7 year old girls were also required to order the pre fixe menu, which was $100 a person. Luckily, my girls managed with the Cesar salad and chicken for the entre. They also had Gelato for dessert. However, it's pathetic that they couldn't accommodate children. I've been to plenty of nicer restaurants that were more accommodating for children. Another point of terrible service was the fact that they forgot to serve the amuse bouche, which was one of the courses. I had to remind them after the entre was served. For a place as expensive as it was, this was a terrible mistake and showed poor service. We were also sent to the back of the restaurant away from the main dining room. Clearly looking to segregate us from the "more important" customers. This place is severely overpriced, and the service is horrible. This place wants to hang with the Atlas Group restaurants, but it doesn't hold a candle to them. I am never coming here again. I'll admit that the food was decent but not worth the $600 bill. I could get a much better experience with better food for half that price.

    Thank you for dining with us and bringing your family for Valentine’s. We would like to speak with you about your experience. Your daughters were not expected to order a prix fixe adult 4 courses; there were other options for kids. We regret the errors in service and are glad you enjoyed your salads, entrees, desserts. The curved booth in which you dined was large to seat you last night since Citron, which was booked full for the holiday, an extremely busy day primarily set for twos. Each guest is important to us and in no way were you "segregated." All tables in including yours were set for Valentine's with linens, roses, candles and a special menu. We remember your family fondly and the photos you took together on the way out. A manager will reach out to you to discuss. Thank you.

    The restaurant is beautiful and the food is great! Pricey, but delicious. However, after we were seated, we waited 30 minutes and no server ever showed up. I went up front to let them know, and they were apologetic. Finally a server, who was absolutely wonderful, came to the table. The rest of the evening was wonderful. Even though we received numerous apologies, we were not compensated for our long wait. It would have been nice to be offered something (free dessert, a drink, etc) to make up for their mistake. I am on the fence as to whether I would return here. Dinner for two people was almost $300!

    Went to Citron for an early Valentines Day Dinner and it couldn’t have been any better. Excellent romantic environment, amazing food, and outstanding service from every person we spoke to! 10/10 would recommend stopping in.
