Oh No...I find myself venturing to Hollywood for a meal! What? Leave NYC to come to L.A. and then not even pass Spago or Bastide before slogging my way down to Hollywood? Yea I have lost my mind! So after doing battle with a Valet attendant who obsconded with my car and $10 I entered Citrus, Wow, the room looks like it came from the 1920's with this great vaulted like cieling painted with what my dining companion said was original detail work. Yea Yea so beyond the good looking space we sunk into the menu. Our waitress was quick to reccomend a cocktail, We went right for the Champagne first and skiped the cocktails that all seemed to be a mash of fruit and simple syrup. Like clockwork, we were into some gougere that came out hot and moist in the center. Next up we had some smoked salmon served on a flatbread with onions, It too was good! Next we sank int some real food, Short ribs That the waitress said cooked for 72 hours? and a piece of Monkfish that was perfect in everyway. One of the managers/sommeliers paired some great wines with our food and offered us a vip spot upstairs for afterdinner drinks and...Killer food and Staff that makes you feel like the Old Hollywood Elite!!!
