Great food and lovely attentive service. The Octopus appetizer is an excellent choice and the fish dishes, particularly the salmon, are cooked perfectly. Done through, but not dry. I had a pizza during this visit and it was excellent. As this place is quite literally right next to the Green Line stop, it's a great choice for an evening out of the city in a quality establishment. No need to worry about driving home after that glass or two of wine or one of their signature cocktails!

Wonderful food, excellent service! We loved the Amish chicken, the whitefish, and the Moroccan short rib. Service was quick, personable, attentive and not intrusive. Citrine is now our go-to restaurant in Oak Park!

Our first brunch experience at Citrine was great! Menu items were creative, portion sizes big, flavors delicious. We'll add this to our list of favorite brunch places. Citrine is already at the top of our Oak Park dining favorites.

We had the burrito, crispy cauliflower, branzino special, steak frites, and short rib. All were excellent. Try the Balkan red wines!

Citrine is one of our go-to spots for celebrations as well as regular dinners; this was to mark two new jobs in the family. Drinks are always brilliant, starters were great, we tried the burrata and i recommend. Pork shank was buttery tender as usual, my husband loved his whitefish, son loved his beef. We don’t usually order dessert but the apricot bread pudding with pistachio gelato called to us, and wow! So glad we answered. What a wonderful combo. I’ll definitely try to make it back while that’s still on the menu. We were commenting on how it’s usually busy in there, and “loud,” but unlike other places, they’ve handled it with acoustic panels on the ceiling and fabric throughout. It is never too noisy. We can always converse, as well as hear the music. Service is impeccable. We were checked on by the hostess, the bussers, the manager, as well as our server, throughout our meal. Of course we’ll be back.
