Citrine Café

Amazing service. Probably the best service I have ever had in Chicago. Our server was very sweet and attentive, always refilling our waters and being so accommodating to any changes or requests we wanted to make to our meals. The food was delicious and flavorful, and reasonable for the price point. I will absolutely be back!

Couldn’t wait to write this review. Literally writing this in the car as we drive away 😆. What a great experience! From the moment we walked in, to the moment we left. It’s rare to have genuine interaction with people, yet alone in a restaurant. Lauren was AMAZING. Hands down. She is sweet, knowledgeable, and I can tell is a great human being. She makes you feel like you are one of her friends, and I love that! Thank you for making my husbands birthday dinner ❤️. We are about making memories, and you helped make a perfect one ☺️. Also - if you are looking for cocktail recommendations definitely take hers!

I wanted to try this place for brunch. It's nicely in the heart of Oak Park. The host and servers we encountered were awesome. I ordered the chicken and beignets. My friend ordered the shrimp and grits. Her meal was great, not so much mine. The chicken looked like tenders, and the beignets weren't cooked all the way and were doughy in the middle. I just didn't mention it because the kitchen was already closed. It looks like their dinner menu is the highlight. So maybe I'd have to come back for that.

We had an absolutely wonderful dinner experience. The food was incredible, the drinks were actually perfect, and the ambience was just the right mix of casual and cozy with an upscale vibe. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and on top of everything.

Octopus app was as good as advertised. Food overall was delicious and well made. The gnocchi was pillowy and flavorful. Also had the risotto special which had short rib and rock shrimp. Delightful. Loved the cocktails and wine selection also. Service was prompt and attentive. Vibe was lively but not loud. Had a great time!

We come here for brunch quite often and will continue to do so. The beignets are loved by all. Today we loved the food, although the spicy chicken surprised us (but also yummy) we asked if next time we could get the chicken plain next time, she said yes! When Gabi our server dropped the check, she offered my son gelato on the house, 100/10.

This was by far the best dining experience we’ve had in and around Oak Park. The service was outstanding, Rachel, our server, was incredibly knowledgeable and articulate, walking us through every menu item and special. Every dish was exceptional, but the whitefish dinner and the mussels truly stood out. We’ll absolutely be returning!

Exquisite dining experience. I wish I could come again. We ordered the shrimp n grits, the beignets with Nutella and the sausage hash. Photos are attached. Parking is free outside for up to 2 hours. The server was ultra friendly and nice. The downside of the service was that we had two requests for our food (cheese on the side for the hash and the eggs to be scrambled and not over easy). Both were ignored. We were hungry so we didn’t want to have the food remade. This kinda was a bummer as my husband did not do well with the cheese. The other two meals, shrimp and grits and the beignets were awesome though. 10/10 on my food.
