The food was cold,hollandaise sauce had no flavor and the service was poor. The water was never refilled . A disappointing experience at best.

We come here often for breakfast. The menu is great, food is well prepared and generous. There is rarely a wait, yet it's always pretty busy. We can sit outside with the dogs which we do most of the time. Always excellent service!

When we just want to be comfy and have a nicely served meal, we think of Citrus Cafe. It is 'local' and kind of unique in that they have a private dining room, a bustling breakfast and lunch crowd and a steady, if lighter dinner crowd and booths where you can feel cozy and actually hear one another better. This gives us a safety net when needing a quick go-to for dinner! Fun for a foursome on a date night. Not pretentious, but they're serious about their food and their servers are typically warm, friendly, capable and most helpful! They even serve a classic "liver and onions"...which is a fave of a dear friend who says Citrus Cafe's liver is always primo! So, in short, this was another tasty and enjoyable dinner with a smiling and helpful server at our beckon call.

Nothing was great but nothing was bad. Serving sizes are generous. I had the recommended meatloaf and I like my mother's recipe better. Service was brusk but not quite rude; competent, so it didn't bother. It was perfect ambiance for the situation; a family gathering after a memorial service where the company was more important than the dining experience. The ambiance was perfect for relaxing and talking. If visiting is the focus, I would recommend; if the dining experience is the focus, I might look elsewhere.

We made a reservation because it was Saturday and we weren't sure how busy the patio would be at noon (we brought our dogs). We were seated quickly and served just as fast. The food is always fresh and flavorable with good portion sizes.
