    The servers were nice but aggressive in terms of clearing the tables. They just came and took plates that still had food in it and would keep coming back & asking if we were done with our food while we were eating.

    We had a lovely relaxed dinner at Citrus & Salt. Delicious Margaritas and food! And, the decor is great fun. We really enjoyed it and will definitely go back when we are next in Boston! Our waiter was delightful, too! Everyone was super nice.

    I don't typically do this but this restaurant was that bad do not go there. Went here for a quick bite after a show. Got put in the back room, and the food was just not good. The service wasn't either my wife never got her food but after what happened I think she got away lucky. I bit into something and heard a crunch and had to spit it out. There was either dirt, sand, or maybe glass in my food. Either way for two not great fried avocado tacos, fries with beef on them and a quesadilla, and 2 drinks it was $100 which if teh food was good would have not been an issue. I recommend going elsewhere.

    Mixed experience at Citrus and Salt. While the food was delicious, the service was lacking. The waitress didn't ask what we wanted to drink before asking for our food order, but we ended up ordering our drinks. We ordered appetizers, then a few minutes later put our entrees in. Our entrees came out before the appetizers (not ideal). Our waitress told us everything would come out at once, then came back to ask what we ordered for appetizers again, she never put them in. Two of our four party members sat with their entree in front of them for like 5 minutes before the rest of the food arrived. Overall, disappointed. Was trying to have a nice dinner with my family but ended up being totally disheveled experience.

    The food was salty and not the best Mexican I’ve had. Again.. I only had the vegetarian options. The rest might be good. The service was ok. When we told the server that the salsa was salty and if it could be replaced… she said that the only kind she had and cannot did anything… kinda rudely. Told the next thing to a different server that served our dish. This guy at least admitted that he thought the same and will pass on the feedback. The queso was fine. The rest of the salad was ok. The fried cheese was good but the dressing felt store bought. Quesadilla were blah. Drinks were decent.

    I made a reservation for Citrus and Salt for my graduation a week in advance. I was very excited to try this place for the first time when celebrating with my family. Instead, I was very disappointed. My reservation was outright cancelled, which I was not made aware of until I got a text notification from open table. Citrus and Salt did not call or inform me in some way that they cancelled my reservation and it took me calling on 3 separate days multiple times to see why they cancelled my reservation. When I finally spoke to someone, they offered me a gift card as an apology for the issue, which is very nice and I accepted. However, I did not receive this gift card at all. A few days later I was able to finally get a table and I was once again disappointed. While the food was good, the drinks came out very slowly (it was very busy, so I understand). The drinks came out AFTER our food was delivered. On top of this, our waitress had completely disappeared. The restaurant is tapas based, so if my party and I wanted to order more for sharing, we were unable to do so as our waitress had totally disappeared on us. Overall, I was really looking forward to trying this place as it is very popular and super cute inside, but was really disappointed with the level of service given.

    My husband and I are still raving about the chips and salsa! The salsa is one of the absolute best we’ve ever had!! The empanadas tasted like we went to Mexico and got them from a street cart — insanely good! The chicken and waffle tacos are HUGE! Comes with two full waffles and 4 pieces of chicken — each waffle is folded like a taco with 2 pieces of the chicken! It’s was overall amazing!

    We don’t drink alcohol & loved they had good options for us. Definitely a great place for drinks. It such a beautiful & different aesthetic with the decor. Our food was good but found there is something hot or spicy in everything. We had to order a lot on the side, but still felt a strong kick with items that “were not spicy”. We only went for the chicken waffle tacos & we heart broken to find out that it’s only a brunch item. It was my boyfriend‘s birthday and we only went there specifically for that dish. Wish we checked the menu better before we went. We sat next to a large table of extremely loud women that we could hear over every thing no matter what. No one’s fault, but it was obnoxious. Definitely a very loud location. Over all it was nice and glad we finally tried it. If they make chicken waffle tacos on the dinner menu we would be back asap.

    I would have given a better rating if they were more accommodating. I brought my daughter and her friends (11 year olds ) one wanted just nacho chips with cheese as she didn’t like what the nachos had on them . The chef would not make a simple nacho/cheese dish which is way easier than what was on the menu …. Ridiculous.

    We had a great time and the staff was amazing. I called to cancel because our reservation was two hours away and we were hungry now. They accommodated and moved our reservation up. The only thing you should be aware of is that the brunch menu is pretty limited. Everything we ate was excellent, but I would have liked a few more choices. We'll go back for dinner next time!
