Citrone - Redlands

Wow! Just wow. I had the pepper encrusted New York steak which was a special for tonight, with the garlic, mashed potatoes and broccoli. What a fantastic meal! The steak was large and was cooked to perfection. The broccoli was spectacular and the potatoes were extremely tasty. Cara had the garganzola pasta with grilled chicken and that was wonderful as well. I had a yummy martini that was citrus flavored. The atmosphere and service were spectacular! Do take your significant other or loved one here for a dinner date.

I loved eating at Citrone. The experience was awesome!!! Perfect atmosphere for hanging out with friends, a date or a solo night. The food was delicious!!! I ordered the burrata salad, salmon and veggies and cheesecake. Everything was tasty and fresh ?? The staff is also very friendly, extremely nice and helpful!!! Best spot in Redlands for an unforgettable dinner!

So happy to discover this hidden gem in plain sight that I?ve passed hundreds of times and never realized it was here! This is a beautiful, quaint restaurant with an amazing wine list, impeccable service, and food that made me feel like I was traveling abroad! ? I cannot wait to visit again and try more items and wines (of course) on the menu!! ?? Brandon, the owner and our server, Kimberly were absolutely amazing!! Thank you Jennifer L. Collins for the recommendation!! ???

My review of Cítrone is ? ? ? ? ? Charmed from the minute I entered. The Host Lauryn gives such a nice warm welcome, and my server Emily is the gold standard. Ethan will make your reservation complete. The vibe here is spectacular high ceiling and glass, lighting targeted for best of ambience and stylish comfort. Lovely in both comfortable seating and background music. Decor is fresh and clean and classy bistro style. Who doesn 't love fresh flowers on the table? There are exposed brick walls and a tin ceiling with decorative pipe vents that are also practical and secretly provide subtle heating and A/C. The restaurant takes you away to a far off destination. The point of being here is the food and drink. Dining alone, I was thrilled to first see numerous half bottles on the menu of wonderful wines, both local and imported. I like 2 glasses with dinner, so these are a blessing to have a freshly opened bottle to enjoy instead of the only by the glass or a full bottle offerings found in most other restaurants. I chose the 1/2 bottle of a sumptuous Brunello and the house Cioppino which made my evening. I finished with a delicious slice of olive oil cake and Graham 's 20 yr. Old Tawny Port. While here, I made another dinner reservation for their next day of service just to confirm then that tonight wasn 't just a dream.

I don't hand out 5 star reviews often and this time I'd give 6 stars if possible to Citrone in Redlands. Last night's dinner was exceptional and the service was stupendous. The ambiance inside is cozy and intimate with an open kitchen in view. I specifically chose Citrone last night to try the veal chop I saw featured on Yelp. Once seated I learned from my server that the veal chop is no longer on the dinner menu and is offered as a special on select nights, and tonight was not one of those nights. My heart sank as I looked over the menu for an alternative. While I trying to decide, a gentleman named Brandon stopped by my table to welcome me to restaurant. I shared my reasoning for visiting, a special celebration, and my heavy-heartedness that the one item I came for was no longer available. With a smile Brandon told me he'd be right back. After a moment he returned to tell me that he had two veal chops, one was spoken for, and the other was available for me. I was thrilled at this news and thanked him profusely. He went above and beyond to make my special night memorable. My dinner consisted of a scallop appetizer served with corn, duck a l'orange, and the superb veal chop with risotto. The scallops were lovely and deliciously light. The flavor and seasoning were exactly what you'd expect from a reputable restaurant. The duck had a savory, crispy skin with succulent, tender meat inside without any gaminess. Lastly, the veal with risotto was one of the most memorable dishes I've ever had. The meat exploded with flavor and decadence. It was juicy and tender like no other meat I've had. The risotto was creamy and buttery and topped with mouthwatering mushrooms. It was so satisfying it could have been an entrée all on its own. In my usual fashion, I concluded my meal with a vanilla bean cheesecake that was airy and light while still having substance. Truly delightful. This evening, there were no leftovers. I joyfully cleared my plates and plan to do it again soon! Bravo Citrone ?
