Best Californian Restaurants in Tustin

Patrick was fantastic for service. He never hovers but always seems to know when we require attention. Thanks

I went to lunch today with three other coworkers and everything was wonderful I have the chop chop salad and it was a really good size very good flavor we also shared a side of fries the fries were really crispy on the outside and soft in the inside in a really pretty color and good flavor everything was a really good price I think my salad was only about $17. The service was really fast and he kept the drink refills coming over all a very good experience.

As always, our experience was wonderful they always take care of us. I have to admit that I prefer going into this restaurant than any other restaurant around the area not just because of where it’s located but because of the service and the food, thank you very much again for a wonderful time.

Very good. We hadn’t been back for awhile but we’re excited to try some of the new menu items. We each started with the French onion soup which was delicious. My husband had the mussels and I had the lobster roll. Both were great. That and a couple do craft brews and it was a great evening out.

During our recent 3-day weekend getaway, we stumbled upon Citra Bar & Kitchen at the newly renovated Hotel Zessa, and it quickly became our go-to spot for nearly all our meals. This place is truly a hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the modern yet cozy ambiance. The highlight of our experience was undoubtedly the drinks. The Citra Margarita was refreshingly perfect, and my wife couldn't get enough of the Hibiscus Cooler. We also indulged in the Casamigos Flight, which was a delightful treat. Following our server’s recommendations turned out to be the best decision. We tried nearly everything on the lunch and dinner menus, but the Chicken Taquitos stood out as our favorite appetizer—we ordered them multiple times! As for the entrees, you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but our top picks were the Chicken A La Brasa, Blackened Mahi Mahi, and Salmon Salad. Each dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. Being gluten-free, I was thrilled to find that Citra Bar & Kitchen had plenty of options that catered to my dietary needs without compromising on taste. Overall, our experience at Citra Bar & Kitchen was outstanding. The revitalization of Hotel Zessa and the exceptional dining experience here is a testament to Santa Ana's commitment to enhancing their community. We can’t wait to return, and I highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area. You will not be disappointed!
