Service: While the wait staff was polite and friendly, it took 5 minutes to be greeted by a server after being seated by the host. It took another 10 minutes for the server to take our order. Then it took 20 to 25 minutes to come out from the kitchen. Thats 35 to 40 minutes before we even saw our food from the time we arrived -- unacceptable at any establishment. Food: It is really hit or miss. The calamari was underwhelming, with the breading soft and mushy and the meat chewy. The California Philly sandwich was a poor modification of a Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Only the meatloaf was of note, a delicious mix of tenderness and seasoning, with pureed potatoes and friend onions as nice side dishes. Price: Ultimately, this is the reason for the 2 out of 5 rating. Youre essentially paying above-average prices for just-average food and below-average service. I dont plan on returning any time soon.

It was completely terrible. The atmosphere is depressing and dark, the menu is ugly and the pictures are even more ugly. Food tasted bad, served in gigantic portions (and in this case, its a bad thing). The service was okay but he kept looking at us because we werent eating our food which made us feel uncomfortable. I ordered the seafood linguini but the fish tastes very fishy (before you laugh, it means that the fish is not fresh. Thats why sushi doesnt taste fishy). We should have taken a hint because right when we came there was maybe two people there at peak dinner hours (6-7). Do yourself a favor and dont come. Maybe it was good back then but today it was a really bad experience. Oh and let me and one thing. They serve sauce in a plate. A flat plate. Not a bowl, a plate. This did not bother me much, but it proves just how stupid this restaurant is.

Our Platinum Club BNI group meets every Thursday morning in the separate meeting room in the back. We are a pretty high energy, noisy group and the room is quiet and allows up to conduct our meeting utilizing their big screen TV with little interference from the other patrons. We pick from eight different items on the breakfast menu and they are always of the highest quality and come to the table with excellent presentation and hot. Greg is our server most weeks and Greg goes about his business quietly and efficiently with a minimum of interruptions. Convenient location to Red Hill and the 55. If you are looking for a great meeting room for up to 40+ folks ... with an appetizing food component to your meeting ... try the service focused folks at the Citrus Cafe!!

Everything used to be great here except for my visit this morning, service was good except when the brought me the bill it had one amount on and when I paid the amount was different, they said they forgot to charge me for the 1 cup of coffee and also charged me $4.89 for 2 slices of a tomatoe that was requested on the egg florentine, the waiter told me that is what the computer shows for a side dish although it was not a side dish and was never explained up front like a good server would do, I paid the bill but will guarantee that I will no longer visit this place with my family for the communication error on their part. Watch your bill, you get charged for any little things, also $1.00 for egg whites, I guess when you take the yolk out there is a process fee.

We come almost every weekend for breakfast here and its always wonderful. The service is perfect. We sit in the booths by the bar and are greeted (and remembered!) by the same waiter. The busboys know us too and theyre all quick to respond. The food is upscale but excellent. Favorites include the stuffed French toast, the steak n eggs, eggs florentine and the waffle. The breakfast pizza is delicious, regardless of how it may sound. Ive never been here for any other meal, but I am religious about their breakfast. The few times Ive eaten in the dining room for breakfast have resulted in poor service. Thats why were fixated on the bar booths. The server always tries to send us to the dining room but we politely decline and head for our usual booth.

I was happy visiting this resturant two times in week go for breakfast my foverat was called ( Extra ) the bad day was while I was eating and I found a long hair into the food. I asked the watness to come in and see it. He sapplogazied and didnt charge me for that plate. And I didnt knew what to say or to do. I just left but all the day I felt sick and had a fever. I shared with my friends and most of them recommend me to write a review to let the people know how they are lease care about the clean. I hope the manager or the owner see this review to not make it happen it any more in the near future

My Husband and I went here for breakfast on a Tuesday morning on a whim. There was one server and one cook working when we arrived and the server made sure that we understood that they were short staffed as they had a party of 30 in half of the restaurant. Even with this warning we decided to stick it out. The service was great. Our server was quick to get to us and take our orders. The food cam quickly and was delicious. I think we will be back to take out a pie on out way out of town as we were too full to even think about it after our generous breakfasts.

After driving 6 hours from Phoenix and checking into our hotel, it was 8:15pm and we were starving. We showed up 30 minutes to close. They were super friendly and accommodating even tho they were closing soon. Server recommended a good IPA (Uinta Hop Nosh) which was delicious and some food. Food was excellent and we hurried up even tho our server told us to take out time. Excellent service, setting and food.

I wasnt quite sure what to expect from this place, since this was our first visit, but i was pleasantly surprised! The food was pretty good and the portions were more than ample! And the prices were very reasonable for what we received! If i had a negative comment, or would only be that we ordered more food than we needed because we didnt realize how much wed get! Even the craft beer prices were great!

Our Orange County Corvette club has our monthly meeting and dinner the first Tuesday of every month at Citrus . Fantastic food and great service ! Anyone with a Corvette that is not in a club if you would like to join meet us the first Tuesday of every month , meeting starts at 7 and usually everyone shows up around 5 to have dinner before .

This place is a rip off, and the food is horrible! The waiter was tweeked out, spilled water on me, never listed to us, messed up our order, the food was overpricesd and tasted terrible. My tuna sandwich tasted like a mayonaise sandwich. Please save your money and go somewhere else.
