   We gathered at The Citrus Room for a family gathering of 8 people. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a 'old time' Steak House. We had plenty of space for our party and yet felt an intimacy for our group. The menu was concise yet varied with a seafood special of the day. Meals are a bit pricey yet inclusive and the food was prepared perfectly and as ordered. The service was impeccable with additional background and information supplied by our waiter. Staff was available yet not hovering. Meals included dessert, which was packed 'to go' for those who enjoyed the larger portioned meals. An excellent choice for a quality and relaxed meal.

   $70-90 Steak plated with Ketchup…need I say more? …Yes: Flavorless beer cheese with a baked potato. Lobster bisque tasted like tomato soup. All our steaks were overcooked. Server didn’t ask how our food was at any point. Unfortunately we were hoping to really enjoy our meal, but left very disappointed.

   First, thank you for giving us a try. What you refer to as "ketchup" is actually our house-made steak sauce. The chef plates all steaks with it on the side for those that enjoy it. You don't have to use it. We also make the beer cheese and lobster bisque from scratch. Food is subjective to everyone's personal taste. Our chef's taste everything beforehand and it could be you like more seasoning than others. As for the server not asking how your food was, how is it we recooked your steak? We can only seat 40 people, since we have a small dining area. Your reservation was for 8, yet only 5 ate dinner. We pay Open Table for the number of guests booked. While their service is free to you, they charge us. By the way, your husband thanked us on the way out and said everything was delicious.

   Recommended by a friend. Found food and service exceptional! Very quite not much to distract you while you waited. Took our 3 year old grandson not a very good idea. Not a place for children.

   This was our second time at The Citrus Room and we came to celebrate my husband’s birthday. There was a hand signed happy birthday card waiting on the table from the wait staff. The food, service and ambience were just as good, if not better, than our first visit here! We will definitely be back!

   As always, we had a great experience at The Citrus Room. My flounder was delicious and my husbands steak was cooked to perfection. Our favorite place for dinner!

   Four of us dined together at The Citrus Room last night. We arrived about 20 min. early and were immediately seated. Our friends had never been there before and they were pleased with the decor and the atmosphere of the dinning room. It was quiet enough we could talk among us without having to yell across the table to be heard. It's hard to find that kind of atmosphere in many restaurants these days. Service was prompt and the before dinner drinks were excellent. Kyle was our waiter and he explained the menu and specials. The special was flounder with crab and a citrus sauce. Three of the four of us ordered the special and everyone liked it. At first glance the menu prices may look a little expensive but they include a salad, entrée, baked potato and desert. I certainly recommend you try this restaurant. Lloyd

    We went here first time Feb 15th 2025, for our 28th wedding anniversary. We had a very nice corner booth. They provided an anniversary card, then during dessert after the main course they designed an anniversary note on the plate out of chocolate, very nice touch. I had a 6 ounce sirloin, a potato , lobster mac and cheese, my wife had the shrimp dinner entree. It was perfect… all of it.. Thanks for your attention to detail and making this a very special night for us both.. we will definitely return
