Recently had our company holiday party at Le Citron.
It was wonderful. GREAT staff! Excellent service. Good food. And amazing ambiance. We had this little cozy area in the back that was intimate and special. I would highly recommend.

I’ve been to this restaurant quite a few times and have ordered different things from the wedge salads to mushroom soup, chicken wings and large items such as their hanger steak, and am yet to be disappointed. Their team of servers are nothing short of amazing, I always leave there feeling like I was treated like a special customer . Thanks Jenn and team!

Just fabulous!!!
After a road trip around the USA, it's nice to find good real food, fed up with burgers and tacos!!! We came 2 evenings in a row, everything is good and tasty, and Jennyfer our waitress (who speaks French as a bonus ?❤️) is just too adorable and smiling, a very nice discovery as much human as culinary, with a musical atmosphere (some evenings ) at the top, I recommend 1000%
Ps: taste the truffle fries, just killer ??

Ingrid was an absolutely amazing server and we had a great meal! The steaks were cooked perfectly and all the sides and sauces were phenomenal. Can’t recommend this restaurant more and will be coming back very soon!

Wednesday’s at El Citron is where it’s at! Their happy hour is amazing, drinks are delicious, clams are yummy! You can’t beat a good deal and quaint little ambiance. Ingrid is our girl! She provides quality service and a personable experience. This is a must visit place if you are local or visiting Oside!

Nice place, but very disappointed. I think the chef may have walked out. The food wasn't good and it took forever for the food to come out. I do appreciate the discount and not being charged for drinks.

First the good... The atmosphere is comfortable, building is super cute and the live band was enjoyable. The food was very good and our cocktails were well balanced. Now for the bad... our service was awful! From the long wait for menus and drinks to arrive to being forgotten by our server several times, this was not a great experience. We asked to share the Wedge Salad (yummy) as a starter but as soon as we took our first bite the entrees were brought to our table. Server blamed the new chef for poor timing So they took our entrees back to sit under the warmer until we were done. We gobbled down the salad quickly so our Prime Porterhouse and Seafood Linguine (both excellent) wouldn't continue to cook under the lamps. I ordered another Greyhound (which never came) and we sat for 15 minutes waiting for our server to come back. Finally we ask another server (Greg was really great) for boxes for our leftovers and the check. He promptly professionally packed up our food and said he'd get our server to bring the check. Another 10 minutes and we still hadn't seen her. Greg noticed we were still waiting and brought us our bill. My husband is an avid over tipper (25-30%) and he gave our server only $10.

Update!!!

So just wanted to be fair and give my review after we were invited to come again by the manager and owner.
So we decided to try them a second time...

I must say it was a very nice experience this time! The young man who was out server was very friendly and attentive, or drinks (watermelon ? mojitos) were awesome ? and our meal ( we both had the filet mignon) was very tasty..yumm) and even the desert was amazing ? ?! Also they had a very nice 3 piece band playing and they were great! Overall we were Very Pleased with this second Experience and will be happy to tell our family and friends about this restaurant!
Thanks for making it right ✅️!

First experience:
Went there on a Thursday evening for the first time. Ordered food and drinks. We were excited about trying this place out for the first time. Waited about .15mins and the waitress brought my girl's drink but not mine. (I had Ordered a beer.. in the bottle)..We waited another .15mins and still no beer. My Girl went inside and spoke with the waitress and reminded her that she had not brought my beer.. she said.." oh.. sorry"... so we waited another 10mins and still no beer... so I got up and went to wash my hands and saw the waitress and reminded her again that she hadn't brought my beer..she said again.."sorry".. so I went back to the table..waited another 5mins... still no beer...so we decided to leave.. on the way out I asked to speak to the manager... was told by the other waitress the my waitress was in charge..wow..so we paid for the one drink and left...Terrible service!!!
And the kicker is.. they weren't even that busy!!

Came in Thursday night for their prime rib night, which was excellent, specially for the price. It was slightly understaffed considering how busy it was. As a local I was very pleased with my experience there. This place is a gem, I highly recommend this place ?

I was there today celebrating my birthday with my girlfriends, the service was fine the girl was nice, but the food was really bad, tasteless cold, some of the seafood was still frozen, I did not complain right at the moment because my friends invited me to celebrate
Very bad food the worse seafood linguine I have tasted in my life

The staff was awesome during our sister’s baby shower celebration. Our family and friends enjoyed the delicious food, and everyone had an amazing time.
