Citrico's Review

[ducklite]

Last night we dined at Citrico's again...

We arrived moments before 7:00, and were seated at a table with a view of the castle and fireworks. Nice start! Jim ordered a Fischer Labell ($5.50) and I ordered a Bellini ($8.50). The Citrico's Bellini's are out of this world, I could easily drink half a dozen of them...peach and raspberry juices with sparkling wine--they taste like fruit punch with a little fizz

We had Jason as our server. He was efficient and polished, but John is the server to request at Citrico's, and we kind of wished we had done so.

I began with the Salad Maison ($6.00), which is a mixture of baby greens topped with an incredible Cabernet vinagrette. The sweetness of the cabernet and greens tempers the tartness of the vinegar. We were also brought a basket of breads--actually two. One for Jim, and one for myself...one of the breads is a nut bread, and I have nut allergies, so they brought a seperate basket of the white bread just for me. Yum!

We ordered our entrees, Jim choose the Salmon ($25.00) and I selected the Morrocon spiced chicken($22.00), and asked for potatoes rather than the red rice. I also ordered a glass of the Hangtime Chardonnay ($10.25).

Jim's salmon arrived cooked medium rare. The portion was enormous, and he said it was one of the best meals he ever had. My chicken was a tad dry, and left me wishing I had ordered the filet instead.

We split the sorbet trio ($8.00) for dessert, mango, raspberry, and bannana sorbets that are made in house. Absolutely delicious, and a perfect light dessert!

Anne,Thanks for your review. I enjoyed the details. Sounds like you had a great meal overall. I can't believe we haven't dined at Citrico's yet, but it's another on my list of will-do's for next trip.
I love Bellini's, too. I'll look forward to trying their version. Sounds yummy.

Thanks for posting your review, Anne. Sounds like a good dinner overall. I enjoy bellinis, too but haven't tried one at Citrico's.

Two of our children dined at Citrico's and had that view. I believe very few tables enjoy it.

Ducklite: I just have to say that your Cruise website rocks! I'm very jealous. I'll be getting my site up soon but not soon enough. Glad you had a great time!

Citricos is one of my favourite places to eat now that Chef Gray is there. I voted them #1 overall.

Thanks for the review! I'd love to go there next week with DH, but he chose Jiko for our night out while mom babysits. He'll only be there with us a few days and I don't like to eat out at fancy places with my 2 year old. It's very tiring. I get a little hyper about him disturbing other people. Probably reading these boards too much, LOL!

Good review!!
We're eating there in May, and will be sure to ask for John.
Good to see they have Fischer's La Belle. A welcome alternative to the "usual suspects".
Mrs. U loves the sorbet trio.. as you say, a perfect dessert after a meal at Citrico's

I prefer Jiko to Citrico's. Either way they're both excellent choices. I can see your point about it being tired to eat in a nicer place with a two year old!

Hi Anne,
we were at Citricos the same night. We did have John as our server and he was wonderful. We also ate at 7pm.

Our meals were outstanding and the dessert were a work of art.

definitely one of my top picks.
