   Service was great on a busy Valentine's evening. The meals are prepared with special touches to enhance the dining experience. We do enjoy Citico's more intimate environment -- more like dinner at a friend's home than a commercial restaurant.

   Citico'sResponded on February 20, 2020

   Michele- We are very pleased you enjoyed your Valentine's dinner and appreciate the positive feedback on your service, meal, and ambiance. We look forward to hosting you again soon!

   Overall a very nice dining experience. I wished the smoked beets had a hint more of smoke on them, but the fried brussel sprouts with pork belly were amazing. Definitely going to try and duplicate that dish..

   Valentines Day was apparently much more busy than the staff was used to. It took about 2 hours to get food. The waitstaff were trying their best. Once received, the food was good.

    With a 7.30 reservation, We waited an hour for our table to be available. After an hour we informed the hostess that we were leaving. She informed the manager. The manager apologized for our wait and indicated that they were unprepared and overwhelmed by the volume of people. I read many reviews to make the choice to dine at this establishment. I chose the restaurant due to it's small capacity with the understanding that it would be a small venue. The pricing was high and I was willing to pay for a good experience. After waiting an hour for a reservation made several weeks in advance, we left without spending a large amount of money since we were not going to enjoy the experience after such a long wait. If you are going on a high volume date such as valentine'sor mother's day, I recommend choosing another restaurant. I can not speak for the food or service. I will not make the same mistake again.

    Citico'sResponded on February 20, 2020

    Hi Wes- We apologize again for your wait and that your Valentine's dinner was not what you wanted it to be. The restaurant is an intimate venue and every effort was made to accommodate all our diners' requests and provide a lovely evening. We clearly fell short with you and we appreciate your feedback. It will help us improve. We hope that you will dine with us again so we can provide you with the fabulous meal and experience you had read about before and that we know we can deliver. Thank you.

    Valentine's probably not their night to shine. Had 7:00 reservation; however, we were not seated seated until 8 and food arrived around 9. Also I could not help but notice the egress for the building was not correct. The doors open inward which is a fire hazard and not sure that it is within the fire code. I could not give a referral to someone based upon our Valentine's experience. I may give them another chance on a different night to see if things are better.

    Tim- Thank you for the feedback and we apologize that your meal took longer than desired.

    My wife and I had reservations on Valentines evening. We were extremely excited and looking forward to a delightful meal at a restaurant that we’ve never been to before. The appearance and location were very nice. Our reservations were for 7 o’clock. Unfortunately our entrée did not arrive at our table until 8:20. We had lobster ravioli for an appetizer and it was three small squares followed by a decent salad. The server did not come to our table that often but when she did she was apologizing because they were overbooked and that she couldn’t properly take care of everybody. We both had fillet and shrimp and the first entrée was overcooked and cold. They brought back a second fillet and shrimp which mine was fine but my wife’s was again overcooked. As we neared the end of our experience the owner came to our table apologizing for the sub par service and offered to take care of our meal. They did take care of our bill which was only fitting but we will likely never return.

    Citico'sResponded on February 20, 2020

    Frank- We are sorry your Valentine's experience was not what you hoped for. Citico's is a beautiful location and the atmosphere is intimate and relaxing. We have the highest expectations for ourselves when it comes to food and service and we appreciate your feedback. It was taken seriously and we will benefit from it. I am glad our owner was able to offer you the apology. We'd appreciate you giving us another opportunity to serve you and show you what makes Citico's so special. Thank you.

    The reason my scores are so low and yet I still would recommend to a friend is due to the fact we've been to Citico's before and it was GREAT. Great food, service, ambience, etc. Something has changed dramatically for the worse. Seven o'clock reservations outside got us seated right at 8 o'clock at table dead center of main living room just behind hostess station (loud, noisy and everyone else waiting to see hostess standing right by or table). There was an outdoor area but were told it was full. Never even ask if we wanted to wait for a table in that area. After 15 minutes plus seated in huge noisy area and not even talking to a waiter/waitress we decided to leave (although ironically the chef had time to come out and speak to other guests who had their food). We weren't upset just hungry and they had obviously over booked. Who knows how long it would have taken to get food as we still had not even order drinks, apps, etc. Just a shame. It was so good at one time.

    Citico'sResponded on February 20, 2020

    Gene- Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry your Valentine's experience was negative and happy you have enjoyed Citico's in the past.

    Valentines Day was a disaster. We had a reservation at 6:30 but didn’t get seated till after 7:15. We were sent to the downstairs bar where we were ignored until I asked the bartender if we could get a glass of wine. When we were given a table it was apparently because another party had turned the table down as it was by a roaring fire. We finally were served just before 9:00. The salad was disappointing as were the steaks. The fish and soup were good. This was our first and last visit.

    We would like to thank you for dining with us for the Valentine’s holiday and for your feedback.

    We have frequently gone to Citico’s for dinner, so thought would be good to go there on Valentines Day. What a big mistake! We arrived and our table was not ready, had to wait 30 minutes to get seated. Finally got seated, the service was extremely slow. Our server did not even ask us what we wanted to drink! At least we had water..... 20 minutes between courses is unacceptable. When we finally got the main course served, they swapped the steaks relative to temperature. The plate appeared to have been under a heat lamp for quite some time due to the dryness of the potatoes. The restaurant is not very accommodating (or not prepared) to the number of guests that they had, bottom line we’ll not dine there in the near future again.

    Our food was good; I especially enjoyed the wild mushroom side. I liked the simple music of the harp for Valentine’s Day. We were seated at the back of the lounge area, behind a column, in uncomfortable chairs and the tablecloth pooled under the table so that it was difficult to place our feet.

    Thank you for positive feedback on your meal and music on Valentine's Day. We are working on upgrading our seating so the rest of your future experiences will be as good as the food, music, and service. Please join us again soon!

    ..a glass of wine? $13-$16...our bill for scallops, and 2 sides (total), salad, drinks,...$150...the scallops, I believe, were not fresh...when delivered to the table, I had to wave my hand due to a....strong odor...this should not happen with fresh fish..and this was the only fish you offered, in lieu of the "'fish' stew", no "fresh fish being butchered" as advertised on the menu...in addition, you need to have a clean restroom..it was not clean...i.e., overflowing trash can, less than clean room, ....this was our 28th wedding anniversary dinner, and no, I would not recommend your restaurant given these issues.
