Outstanding! We found this place by chance just by walking, we liked the upscale, welcoming feeling this place had. It was very busy and the wait for a table was over hour so we ate by the bar. Oh, are we glad that we decided to have a dinner there. There were 4 of us and we loved what we ordered. Warm Hummus - not your typical hummus, unique and tasty! Beet & Goat Cheese Salad - you would think it was just a boring beet salad, but was so much more than that! Spring Onion Vichyssoise Soup - something new for the palette! Oven Roasted Mushrooms! Shishito Peppers! 14 oz Sirloin done to perfection! Boar Ragu! The Great Lakes Whitefish was the best fish I ever had! Coconut Panna Cotta to seal the deal! We live an hour away but are already making plans to go back there just to try everything on the menu.

The food is better than you might expect. It falls into that modern American mode. We had wild boar pappardelle and braised pork shank with polenta and spinach, if that helps you. Both were outstanding. On the plus side: the owner is very engaging and accommodating. We were brought two little nips of complementary port with our dessert, for example. On the down side: service was a little erratic on the VERY busy night we went. Our cocktails were forgotten by our server and we had to nudge her on that. By the time they came, wed finished an appetizer and our entrees arrived moments later. Overall, one the better options in the Oak Park, Forest Park, Berwyn dining scene.

First time here for brunch, and it was excellent! We will be back! Service was first rate and very friendly! Thank you Vladan! Food was delicious! We shared the citrine breakfast, 2eggs done how we wanted. bacon done perfectly! Crispy potatoes that were awesome, delicious crunchy ciabetta! We also shared wood oven French toast, sublime! The fruit and crema were outstanding, and the French toast was done right! We last shared spicy lamb sausages. Wonderful! Great sauce and an soft cooked egg that added to the deliciousness, there was ciabetta bread to dip in the sauce and wow! Wanted to take sauce home.!

First time here and this place did not disappoint one bit!! From the beverage to the entree to the dessert my husband and I gave it a 10/10! I had the Spiced Lamb Sausages( just wow!) and he had the Most Delicious fish we have ever had outside of home and for dessert we had the Coconut Panna Cotta (super smooth & creamy)! highly recommend this place. It has become one of our favorites !

Sat in the outdoor patio on a beautiful summer evening. Was greeted by the owner who is an Oak Parker. The wine list is terrific. Had delicious sausage, octopus, and beautifully prepared and de-boned branzino. For desert had the flourless chocolate cake with ice cream. Delicious. The bill was very affordable.

Good service good, better than average but not quite great food, very nice ambiance for a date night or special celebration. Nice outdoor space for when the weather cooperates. If I lived closer itd probably makes it into my regular rotation.

An intriguing menu, cool space, and overall well-thought-out approach are all going for Citrine Cafe. The bar is a good bet for an exceptional burger to pair with cocktails that are on par with any of the upscale gastropubs around town.

I have had brunch here twice. Service is great and the ambience is nice. The food was outstanding the first time and average the second time, as the flavors were a bit flat in the chilequille. Will definitely go back and try it again.

Food is amazing, drinks as well. I particularly love their Old Fashions. Among the best I ever had. Service is fantastic. The owner is often there and charms the patrons. One of the best places in Oak Park.

Hoped to take myself out for a nice dinner. This restaurant has nice atmosphere, good food and service. However, they still do not have Wifi!! A lone diner can get bored without it. Step it up Citrine!

Slightly above average food. Eggs Benedict cold. Mushroom muffin dry. Service polite but slow and sometimes disappearing.
