Ambience was unlike anything in this state! The most outstanding part though was the hospitality, it was unlike any dining experience i’ve ever had. Charles and Susan certainly make sure you have the best experience possible every single time you walk through the doors. Would recommend to anyone I know and will certainly be back.

You can truly taste the quality ingredients and the love of the fully scratch kitchen, led by an outstanding woman Executive Chef. From start to finish, my favorite spot in Baltimore. Last night started with goyang roll then had the salmon entree. Food and service outstanding. Ambiance and easy location, beautiful and authentic restaurant.

The staff was amazing, providing outstanding personal attention to every detail. William, our server was a 10! Each of us (3) got a different entree (filet, lobster orzotto, and sea bass) and they were delicious with no "take home"! The appetizers (brussels sprouts, and shrimp rolls) were decided on with recommendations from Willam. They were large enough to share. The owner, Charles Levine visited us, checking on our food, drink and service. He made us feel special. I can't say enough about every aspect of the Citron. All three of us would highly recommend the place!

Staff were warm, inviting, and made you feel like family. The food was one of, if not, the best meals we have ever have. Citron reminds you of when dining was an experience, an event, when going out to dinner was the highlight of the week. If there was a 10 star option for food, Citron would have it hands down. 100% recommended, you can't go wrong at Citron
