The grilled street corn was the only delicious thing that we ordered. The fish tacos were dry and desperately needed some sort of aioli to moisten an otherwise arid tortilla. The steak and cheese quesadillas were as tough as leather and the taste was extremely unpleasant. Would not come here again.

We had amazing services at the bar! Once seated the service quickly diminished. We were not checked on at all, by our waitress. The 2 seater table right near the bathroom is not the best and the drinks were not great that we ordered at the table. The froze margarita was extremely sweet to the point of not being drinkable (my opinion however) I then ordered a hours margarita and it too was not palatable to my taste (again my opinion). The ambiance of the restaurant is amazing and for a fun jazzed up night it would be a good place to visit with friends in the future. (without the margaritas)

The server was trying to rush us out and stopped coming over to our table. We weren't able to order anything else and when we asked for the bill after being ignored for thirty minutes, he rolled his eyes and gave us an incredibly rude look. Was really looking forward to finally trying this place, but because of that server i don't think I will be back any time soon.

Unfortunately it was not the best experience. It was 30 minutes before we even met our waitress even longer before we ordered (people went up to the bar to grab drinks on 2 different occasions while we waited). They also added an item to our bill that we did not order.

I had a disappointing experience at Citrus and Salt. We visited to celebrate my brother's first birthday away from home, hoping for an exciting meal. Unfortunately, the restaurant had a very limited menu, especially for vegetarians. The portion sizes were small and fell short of our expectations. Additionally, the atmosphere was quite loud for a sit-down restaurant.

Even though we had reservations we still had to wait at least 15 min for a table. Then the 6 of us were brought to a table that could fit no more than 4, but they wanted to squeeze us all in. Was definitely not acceptable and would’ve been a very uncomfortable experience. So we had to wait another 20 or so minutes for a proper table to seat all of us. Ultimately, a proper table should’ve been set aside for us since I made the reservations 3 weeks in advance. Not very professional.

If spice is your thing then this is your spot. Everything was too spicy for us and they didn't have many vegetarian options. We had also made the reservation over a week ago and requested a nice table for our anniversary dinner and they sat us at an 8 person high top in the bar area.
