    Really amazing service and food. We had drinks and appetizers before going to the Arts Center including the Serbian bread and a plate with speck and burrata and everything was delicious. It’s such a pretty room with a great soundtrack and atmosphere and the service was so personal. It was one of the top restaurant experiences I’ve probably ever had.

    I was looking forward to the squash ravioli, but unfortunately it was so sweet it should have been a dessert. I also didn't care for the cubed pieces of squash in the sauce, but that's a personal preference. The steak tartar was more veg than steak, which I found weird However, I still love this restaurant and will continue to go back as most everything on the menu is outstanding and they mix a good drink. I'll just avoid these two things in the future.

    Service was great, but the food is not good. My salmon was so overcooked it wasn’t really edible and the carrots were terrible. Only decent thing was the burrata.

    Our food was good. Bread does not come with the dinner . It had to be ordered for $7. I wanted bread but they were out of it. I was disappointed.

    Citrine is our favorite Oak Park restaurant and one of the best we've been to anywhere. Food is exceptional, and the service is impeccable. Shout out to Lauren, who is attentive and gracious. The Mediterranean menu (updated seasonally) and most Eastern European wine list make for a unique and memorable dining experience. We have started bringing friends and family here, and the response is always positive: delicious, wonderful, outstanding. A real neighborhood gem.
