   Our server, Joan, was awesome!!! Food was okay…. Maybe because it was so crowded.

   This is a local gem whether you are celebrating just getting through the day or a graduation. The service is impeccable. Our service was led by Joy who was friendly and responsive throughout the evening despite how busy the restaurant was. We watched all servers working hard while staying positive on a busy Friday night and helping each other at their tables. It was a fantastic vibe that made the evening very enjoyable. The food is creative and well prepared with something for everyone. The sea bass is a buttery staple but the meat was cooked to perfection for both our guests who ordered different temperatures and the portions were generous.

   We were entertaining friends from out of town. Everything was perfect. However, the noise level was so high we could hardly hear each other across the table.

   I had a friend visiting from Utah. We were there for Sunday brunch. Sarah was our server. It was such a delightful experience. Food was fresh and delicious. Lots of variety. Sarah was on point. Always clearing our plates and refreshing our drinks. Never had to ask even once. And what a warm personality she has. I would definitely ask for her again when we go back. Food and service was a 10! Thank you.

   This was not worth the price. To start with the high notes, our waitress was darling, truly so sweet and helpful! She had good drink recommendations and was just so kind. Honestly all of the staff here was fantastic, but thats about it. My friend and I were looking forward to coming to Citrus City Grille as we are on a "Food Chronicle Journey" trying and reviewing all of the restaurants in the Orange Circle. I tried their special of the day which was a parmesan crusted halibut with asparagus risotto, and sautéed spinach. It sounded fantastic, and I was starving so when the food came I was very disappointed in the quality, especially considering the cost. The fish was prepared fine, nothing to write home about for sure. The risotto had an off flavor and was pretty much mush, not at all how risotto should be. The "sautéed" spinach was embarrassingly soggy and flavorless. The food had to have been sitting for a while because the sauce that was poured over this had a film over it. For dessert we shared a slice of cheesecake, which was overly doused in this raspberry sauce which was entirely overpowering and too sweet. The only good part of this meal were our drinks. I ordered the southern belle, and as someone who is not a huge whisky fanatic I would say it was enjoyable.

   The mushroom tagliatelle was excellent, as was the seafood linguine. But the caesar salad was tasteless.

    We received great service from Sarah. Food was good, but our 11AM Mother's Day time slot was overbooked. I sat at the table with my grandson while the rest of our party of 9 waited in the buffet line. It wasn't until noon that I was able to get in line and wait. Returned to my table at 1215. The 11AM seating was supposed to clear.tables at 1230. Sarah allowed us to complete.our meal.
