Our server was so very kind and so thoughtful! We came for our first date to your lovely restaurant on the river and were greeted with a toast and such pleasant service and amazing views and don’t forget the scrumptious food! I wasn’t expecting my veggie omelet to be so satisfying and tasty but it truly was divine and the chicken and waffles was a foodies dream!

The food was delicious, and I appreciated the opportunity to choose a keto friendly dish. The keto bowl is quite tasty, and very unique! It’s nice that there are a variety of proteins available for this dish. I do wish there were more keto friendly options, but having this one is definitely a plus. Our server, Robert, was, as always, very attentive and quite friendly. Unfortunately, because of the rain, we had to dine indoors, which can be very loud. I love the patio area, though. Overall, I would label this a neighborhood gem!

We’ve been going to this restaurant for several years. The outside patio is our favorite. The food and service has always been excellent. We love the cozy, casual environment.

Citrine is one of our favorite restaurants in Oak Park. We always have excellent service, delicious food and an atmosphere that is both lively and conducive to quiet conversation. Of particular note are the exceptional hospitality from Stefan (one of the owners) and the outstanding service from Lauren. Both above and beyond expectations making us feel welcome. This time we tried the hummus, roasted chicken and grilled whitefish. All were fabulous. We brought a friend (it was her first time here), and she was thoroughly impressed. In all, another wonderful dining experience at Citrine, truly a neighborhood gem!

We've had STK on our radar for quite some time now and chose to go for my wife's 30th birthday. We enjoyed our experience. All of the staff including Mark and Diego were very professional and attentive. The food and drinks were spectacular with great vibes and an energetic ambience.

10/10 Stars When I first arrived to the restaurant I was greeted by the hostess who had a great personality. Upon being seated I was immediately greeted by my server who suggested her favorite meal which was the lamb chops with mashed potatoes. My meal was cooked to perfection and the service was excellent. I enjoyed the ambience and great music!
