Food was excellent, fish and chips light and tasty, salad small but delicious and chocolate dessert was extremely dense and decadent. Lovely atmosphere and impeccable service.

Nice place on the water to eat. The food was amazing and the service was perfect. We had a special occasion and our waitress provided an unexpected but greatly appreciated treat to mark the occasion - thank you!! I would definitely recommend it as a quiet romantic evening out.

First time at this establishment and was very pleased. Small restaurant with a nice vibe and friendly staff. For those that care the music selection was on point, a jazzy club vibe. Wait staff was very attentive, drinks were good and the food was plentiful and good. I would definitely go again to see if my first time was a fluke or if this is really a hidden gem.

About the restaurant


Osteria 177 is the ultimate expression of an Italian tavern where the main attraction is imported delicacies of one-of-a-kind food and wine. Adorned by barreled wine, an Osteria would never lack the sought out local specialties, spices, cheeses, fish or meats. It was here that many people tried to alleviate life's stresses by numbering themselves with good food, good wine, and good company. The owner/chef of the Osteria would take the utmost pride in stocking these praised elements as the basis for mouthwatering meals, a delicious dance-for-all of the five senses. This is the basis for Osteria 177.

I found myself returning to the Vineyard Wine Bar in Havre de Grace, MD today for a relaxing late afternoon lunch. As always the crew provided excellent service, a great wine selection and a fantastic meal! Ron & Angie were out of town, but Gabby and Liam were stellar today, holding down the fort (alone) on a busy, pre-Christmas Sunday. Chelsea was in the kitchen and provided the delicious meal. If you haven't visited this place, you are surely missing out on an awesome experience!

What an absolutely amazing experience! I was ecstatic from the moment my reservation was made up to the actual date night. Everything was superb to include: the hostess welcome upon arrival, the beautiful candle lit ambiance, the waiter who was very polite and well versed in the products. He provided amazing food and beverage recommendations which were selected and appreciated. The presentation of the appetizer and entrees was awesome. My bae and I raved over everything while taking in the experience. As we completed dinner and prepared to leave; out came dessert, which was the highlight of the occasion. Upon making the reservation, it asked about a special occasion. All to say, it was Bae and I's 1st anniversary, OMG! The decadent dessert (cheesecake and raspberries) was embedded with gold candles, and a chocolate "Happy Anniversary" topper. As if that were not enough to create smiles and memories, Mr. Charles Levine, owner, visited our table and thanked us for dining at Citron. He cared to ask about our experience and even gifted us Citron memorabilia. You won't believe what happened next; we were adorned with some of the most delicious fine chocolates. Oh what a night!!! This by far was the best of the best. Bae and I plan to visit again in the summer to experience the outdoor dining and lake side view. Citron Staff, you've earned and exceptional "A" in our book Happy Holidays King Regards, Rasta Pie and Busta 12/21/24

The cheese app is outstanding. The restaurant is authentic French. My wife ordered beef Bourguignon and I had the halibut entree. Both were cooked to perfection. I topped it off with a buche de Noel dessert which was fantastic
