Bistro Citron

I was concerned after reading the previous reviews about the service being so poor here...but I came here the other night with family and we sat outside on a great summer night. The service couldn't have been friendlier . The food was delicious and the laid back, charming feel of the place really fit its authentic bistro food. I would certainly come back, nothing but pleasant things to say about this spot!

When Bistro Citron first opened we were there all the time for dinner and brunch. There were a few nice servers and it was a welcome addition to the neighborhood. As time went on they got a little cocky, it seemed, and the service went down as quickly as the prices went up. We even stiffed our waiter once, the first time this 25% tipper has ever done any such thing. He deserved to be fired for his behavior but the manager was nowhere to be found.

Food prices are up and service is way down. I have eaten here or gotten delivery at least once often twice a week since it opened. All I can say is the service is appalling . . . both the delivery and restaurant service. Despite this being one of the few truly good places in the neighborhood, I will be going elsewhere.

I am a regular and have eaten outside, inside at table and at the bar. Avoid the bar! Last weekend went to eat with a friend from out of town. Bartender was overwhelmed eventhough the restaurant wasn't that crowded. He suggested a bottle of wine, ruined the cork, poured for me since I was tasting and walked away.... never asked how it was, my friend decided to pour the wine for both of us, never gave us silverware, had to wait to eat until he came over to ask us how it was and then gave us something to eat with. Good thing the food is good, the service, on multiple occasions has been poor. Don't eat at the Bar after 9PM since they "clean up" and spray Windex or ammonia all over the place without regard to what you are eating 2 feet away! Clean up when your customers leave!

Easily one of the best restaurants in the city--and with its modest price tag, it works just as well for the casual weeknight dinner as for any Saturday celebration. Citron succeeds in offering simple French fare in a way that few other restaurants in the city do. I've had their mouilles frites, braised lamb shank, duck, and eggs meurette, and they're all wonderful. Even their chicken breast is fantastic--and I'm almost never impressed with chicken in restaurants. Atmosphere is perfect; it's other-worldly and continental without being overbearing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I wanted to go to this place with a couple of friends as I had read good reviews. However we did not have dinner there as the host was not very friendly. We were not the only ones that left as also 3 people that arrived after us who were waiting for a 4 person, also left as they could not sit down as they had to wait for their friend. You can agree or not with this policy about having to wait for the full party, but there are many ways to say it. As the host said "you are not customers otherwise you would have known our policy here". He was right we were not customers nor I think we will ever be. And of course we will make sure that we make a comment about this place with our friends...

Great menu, great food, great service, great atmosphere.
