Vibe: Elegance disrupted by external chaos

Including all vibe sway results, Citrus provides an ambiance that evokes coziness and warmth. It's a perfect spot for romantic date nights. However, the constant rumble and abrupt noise of passing trains significantly disturb the experience. The buzz isn't that impressive, tumbling down the neutral score for drinks.

  • Great Ambiance

    Cozy, warm, elegant decor enhances the dining experience markedly.

  • Okay Drinks

    Happy hour offers good prices; drinks and food receive mixed reviews.

  • Negative Buzz

    The restaurant was very big but not very busy, suggesting unpopularity.

Perks: Pet-friendly but not so palate-friendly

Citrus boasts a highly efficient handling of large groups with adequate space and private options. The restaurant provides pet-friendly outdoor patios, applauded for their cleanliness. While having an easy parking and reservation system, folks might be OD'ing on the loud music, and poor dietary considerations may leave some guests disheartened.

  • Easy To Park

    Most reviews highlight the ample and convenient parking available.

  • Okay Service

    Mixed reviews, some experiences with service are exceptional, some are average.

  • Hard To Hear

    Music too loud for conversations, creating tension and an unpleasant experience.
