Citrus City Grille, Orange CA

Celebrated my granddaughter 25th birthday.
Had a great time.
Our server Adam was the best!

Coming back for Brunch.

Excellent food. Excellent atmosphere. The service was quite good, however our waitress seemed a bit overwhelmed the night we went on December 26th. But they were quite busy so it was not entirely her fall. Of course. Overall a wonderful experience.

I ordered a burger medium and it came out so well done that it was literally crunchy. I sent it back and said “I’m sorry, I know that it’s really busy tonight but I like my burger to have a little pink still. ”
They brought the second burger out well done…
I took one bite and asked for a box to be polite because it definitely wasn’t the waiters fault and I didn’t want him to feel bad after how great his service was. The meat honestly tasted like the pre-formed frozen patties from your local Walmart if it was cooked DIRECTLY on charcoals (way to high of heat for way too long). My girlfriend ordered the tagliatelle and it completely lacked flavor as well. They need to replace the chef expeditiously because this would be a five star restaurant with even a half talented cook in the kitchen.
The only redeeming qualities were the phenomenal service, the blueberry lemon drop, and their old fashioned which was top notch and granted them at least 2 stars in my book but maybe that’s being generous all things considered. The server was amazing though and the hostess sat us immediately so there’s that.

It took a little longer than usual to get our food after we ordered. Salad came within 15 min.but the main course took at least 30 minutes or more. The food & service were great, but if you want a fast meal, it will take some time.

I have been going to Citrus City Grille for years! I even ordered their Thanksgiving Family Meal and it was one of the best home-made meals I have had from a restaurant. From their fresh, custom cocktails, their whiskey and wine nights to lunch with my sister, everything had been incredible. My favorite dish is the "SAGANAKI", flaming cheese - oh my goodness, their Spiced Filet Mignon Tacos, and the CCG Burger. I love going there for Happy Hour, which is EVERYDAY. You really can't go wrong.

Me & my husband absolutely adore this place, staff is so sweet & Jill the manager is the best! Always attentive and so welcoming. I love to order the gnocchi pasta with chicken, it’s so delicious! You also get bread with balsamic which is so yummy to eat while waiting for your food!

Always a yummy Sangria and Happy hour Bites. Our Bartender was so nice and pleasant I hope we see her again on our next visit in.

Awesome food and a great place to eat. Order the chocolate souffle at the beginning of the meal and you will not regret it

First time dining here. Came here after a short hike at Santiago Regional. It was crowded for the there brunch special, but we ordered from the lunch menu. Nothing really stood out, but everything tasted good. The ravioli was a bit on the salty side. Overall, I would come back if I’m in the area.

Met a friend there & I enjoyed their salmon dish & a creme brulee. She had the Prime Short rib & a chocolate temptation for dessert. Waiter was attentive & courteous. He gave us a scoop on their special at the beginning.

Won't be returning. Disappointing for the prices they charge. Several items we ordered were not very good. My Pappardelle Bolognese arrived almost cold, and not seasoned at all. My friend got the side of roasted potatoes - which were Whole potatoes and flavorless. Too many large unruly dogs on the patio.

Went here for lunch with a client. Food was great. Had a pizza and enjoyed the bread they brought to the table. What was really great was the service. Our server was beyond attentive.

The Grille is a little more pricey than I usually spend on lunch but it was a special day so that was my justification! Parking in back was great, no trouble finding a place. We arrived shortly before noon and there was no wait before being seated. Then came the task of choosing something to eat. Everything sounded good but I ended up with the Caesar salad and shared a calamari appetizer with my friend. The salad is listed under appetizers, as well, but it was huge. I ended up taking some home. As we dined, three different staff members checked in with us to make sure we were happy with our lunch and if we needed anything. Their visits were non-intrusive and I felt genuinely 'cared about' and not that they were there because of an obligatory duty. Of course I'll go back; it was good food with a good friend.

The food was good, but the service was lousy. Our waiter took a long time to acknowledge us after being seated, never checked on us until we were done with are meal and we waited forever to receive our bill. I would expect better service for the high price of their menu. It was supposed to be a special lunch, with my daughter

Excellent food! Our servers - we had 2, were also very good and did not have to ask for anything! The owner came over to introduce himself and made us feel welcome. We were a party of 5 + 2 and had plenty of room. Wait for food was minimal and the food was delish, appropriate temperature when served. The Greek salad was plentiful and their dressing was tasty and not oily. The dessert we shared was incredible. Order the cheese cake!

The staff deserve full credit, on point and very diligent. I'd give them 5stars alone if I could. But the food, hugely disappointed. Not only portion sizes were a joke, who is their chef? The chicken in the pic was tiny ($24 for that & no sides, bizarrely sweet and dry). Just stick with the pasta if you have to come here, nothing else is worth it.
