After all the fanfare I expected more. My dinner was average, though my husband said his steak was good. The wine -- which the waiter almost insisted we get (it was the "special"; we ordered a different one) was average at best. Love Citronelle, didn't expect that, but did expect more. Won't be going back.

This was for a conference.. Food may not have been up to speed, but was not what I had experienced the year before for the same conference.. Appetizers where exceptional, rockfish entree underdone and not good. Steaks that others in my party had were said to be good.

I sat at the bar and had a perfectly delightful meal on Friday night. The bartenders were very attentive and helpful and the food was really fun. The Caesar salad is really one of the best in town.

Meals were very well presented and prepared with excellent ingredients, but I was left with a very poor overall experience by the extremely condescending attitude by the Asst General Manager. She told me that it was too late to change my entree order, which is the restuarant's perogative, but it was the manner in which she atated it and the attitude in which she delivered it. Great food but terrible way to feel after spending $450.
