   Excellent experience. The only drawback is that CR lacks some of the traditional steakhouse options like steak fries and/or onion rings. However, the quality of the experience augmented by the presence of the mom and pop that run CR, dwarfs these minor and easily adjusted issues. We will be back with friends next time.

   The whole experience was wonderful! Great value, food was prepared to our liking. Desserts were delicious. The music was enjoyable and low enough that didn’t interfere with conversation.the bartender can make a mean cosmo! A very unique thing was a stand for the women’s purse! Appreciated how everything was included with the meal. Definitely worth a return visit!

   Our entire party had a great experience and I highly recommend you try the New York strip steak. The entire staff did an awesome job of looking after us. Cannot wait to go back again.

   Excellent experience! Not a cheap place to dine but worth every penny. Food was perfectly cooked, our waiter Kyle was attentive but not intrusive and his selection of our wines was spot-on, the background music was just that - background. We will most definitely be coming back and have recommended you to people who want a fine dining experience.

   Had the lamb, didn’t taste or look like lamb chops. My husband had the strip which was warm not hot and very little taste. Best thing at dinner was the shrimp cocktail and the bread pudding. Building looks old and run down, inside and out.

   We don't really get negative feedback on our lamb. It is one of our most popular dishes. We wish you would have said something while you were there so we could have offered you something different. As for the NY Strip, one of my favorites, being done in a pink peppercorn crust and sauce, I find it hard to believe it had "very little taste". For the building, we are located in an original Ford Model-T dealership that was built in 1916. It's charm and character are part of our story and history. Not really sure how it looks "old and rundown, inside and out" since we just remodeled the interior a year and a half ago. New bar, new tables and chairs and booths as well as new restroom fixtures. Outside, fresh paint new awnings and an eight foot mahogany stained door. I guess taste is subjective.

   The food was outstanding. We enjoyed the bison ribeye and the Oscar style filet.

   We had a very nice time at the Citrus Room. The food and service were outstanding. The atmosphere was pleasant and the noise level was low allowing us older people to hold a conversation and actually hear what others were saying. Yes, it is a little pricey but if you are looking for an intimate location and the price is secondary you can't beat the Citrus Room. The only negative I have on this visit was as we were having dessert a young woman with 3 children came in. They must have had a reservation as they were seated immediately. We were a little surprised that the children were welcomed even though the hour was getting late. From the short time we were there after these people came in the children were pretty well behaved. We were just surprised that a restaurant of this quality would allow children at that hour. The young woman, however was a different story. When she came in she was on her cell phone. She was dressed very casual, even wearing a "Pink" T-shirt. She remained on the cell phone the rest of the time we were there. I really think the Citrus Room needs to update their dress requirements,

    Thank you for being open on NYE. We had a very nice meal. We were there a while, but it was worth it. Very consistent every time. Definitely will be back again.
