maxalto Review of 2008-2010 Citron Restaurant
Guys, I gotta be honest - I don't recall last time...
Guys, I gotta be honest - I don't recall last time I was this disappointed with a restaurant. Went there with 2 other couples on a Friday night and noticed only a handful of tables being occupied (should've been a que).
The interior of the restaurant is great - you can tell no expense was spared and the place looks very nice (especially for Baltimore). The bathrooms were clean. Now onto the negatives:
The waiter forgot to offer us bread and butter and after sitting down for 15-20 minutes we requested to see the menus. The owner/manager stopped by and suggested that we try the lobster "that's just incredible and gigantic". At $75, we figured it would be special. When Lobster arrived, I was convinced that it was deep fried chicken. It was literally the worst preparation of Lobster I ever tasted. I guess the chef wanted to get that KFC flavor, but at $75 it just seemed ridiculous. The owner/manager returned, and instead of asking how we like the food, just said "the Lobster is fantastic, right?". We just stared back in silence.
My friend ordered a steak "medium", but it arrived "rare". No big deal, happens, so she sent it back. It came back when everyone else finished their food - looking just as "rare". When she raised the issue with he waiter, he said he would get her a free desert. Ruined $50 steak made it to the bill, but she did get a free $7 desert out of it. My wife's fish was incredibly dry, and the rest of the menu left much to be desired. At $300 per couple you just don't expect to be screwed. Never again...
