I visited Citrus at Social with a group of girlfriends this past Saturday and had a ball! The dining room transformed smoothly and beautifully from Moroccan to Hollywood glam/ secret garden with posh lime green chairs, vines covering the side wall and hanging globe lights! So much fun.\r
\r
The dining experience as a whole was amazing. We had the mosaic (a beautifully presented plate of surf and turf carpaccio that was equally tasty) and cuttlefish carbonara (literally melts in your mouth... It's heaven) appetizers. I would definitely suggest ordering different menu items and sharing if you're dining with good friends. We dined on the lobster burger, arctic char and 72 hour short ribs (perfectly cooked and seasoned and the fries are to die for!!!!) and duck, duck orange (like I said, such a fun menu!). Everything was cooked to perfection and our server was so attentive and helpful- he gave us the best recommendations and was very knowlegeable about the menu and the ingredients as one of my girlfriends is on a crazy diet. We were amazed at how healthy some of the food can be made and our server informed us that much of the food is local and organic.\r

The BEST part of our experience was dessert (and not kidding, we tried every one). My favorite is the vacherin and the kit kat bar!\r

At the end of the evening we all agreed that Citrus is one of the best new restaurants in LA... It's hard to find a good restaurant with great food, service and a fun environment but we found one. We might even do girls night there again in a couple of weeks!
Pros: Fun and beyond delicious menu, great attentive service
Cons: none!
