My wife and I visited Citron again this past Satur...

My wife and I visited Citron again this past Saturday for a rare date night, and we were extremely pleased. From initial greeting, to dessert, everything was well executed. Charles, Susan, and the team have really got the place dialed in.
The dining room was full, and lively, as you would expect on a Saturday night. This did not diminish from the experience at all. The decor is polished, but not pretentious and stuffy, and our food and drinks were exceptional. Our server, Parrish, was a rock star, providing solid recommendations on menu items, as well as wine pairings and honest feedback. My wife has Celiac, which can be limiting at most restaurants, and she was pleased to find that almost any dish could be modified to accommodate her needs. We started with the grilled octopus, which was very different then others we have had, offering different flavors and textures than simply grilled octopus. I had the veal cheeks, which were decadent. The lobster was perfectly cooked, and the veal melted on the palate. The gnocchi that accompanied it was perfect. My wife had the filet, which was flavorful and cooked expertly. Our wine pairings were spot on, thanks to Parrish! Finally, dessert, which is always the difficult course for my wife, was a delicious flour less chocolate cake, and a wonderful ending to a memorable dining experience.
I also found it refreshing that not only was the owner, Charles, spending time at just about every table greeting guests and checking on their dining experiences, he was helping to clear plates as well. You definitely don't see this at many places, and it just goes to show how dedicated he is to delivering a first class dining experience.

So, to sum it up, we would definitely recommend Citron, and certainly plan on returning before too long!
