Citron Bistro

Kelly was an amazing server! He had great recommendations always came to check on us, and even included our daughter in the conversations!
I had the chioppino and it was delicious! Everything came out quickly and my cocktail was delicious! I have nothing negative to say! Thank you Kelly for such great service!

This year we had our office Holiday party at Citron Bistro during lunch. I have set up the office party every year for the past five years, and this is one of the best locations we’ve ever had it at. The food was decently priced and everyone loved the buffet — it wasn’t too dry or anything. Everything came out on time. The owner was really accommodating and easy to work with. He was on top of everything we asked for. We had a really nice private room in the back, the restaurant was decorated nicely for the holidays and the service was absolutely amazing!!! Kelly was the server taking care of us and he was great!!! I would definitely recommend asking for him — especially if you have a large party. Everyone in my office was impressed with the venue and service — we will be back for sure!

Still a fan after review from last year. We still come here often, and Luke, the bartender is a sweetheart. We love the owners and the staff. The food is amazing. While we usually just head to the bar and dine off of the happy hour menu, Wednesday nights we will come for prime rib night and do a split plate (their prime rib is done perfectly every time). Chainbreaker and Man Beer always on tap now, and I have to say, the bartenders know how to make a good martini as well. We’ve also made it in one Saturday for their pig roast — delicious!
Their HH is daily from 5−10pm. I recommend the lamb lollipops (you get 3, sometimes they are huge, sometimes they are tiny, but they are so flavorful).
And a recent addition to their dessert menu (well it’s been around for about 6 months) is their baklava. Drizzled with honey and served with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. Perfect end to a perfect meal of delicious food, delicious drinks and great service.
It seems like it has an older crowd, mostly locals. My #2 favorite neighborhood haunt.

Great Local Bistro… I have spent much time on the patio in the summer… Happy Hour is all day… awesome drink prices and discount food items… Favorites are the Spicy Hummus, Wings, Prime rib sandwich and Double Cheese burger… We had a baby shower here, reserved the back room… Service was awesome!!! Always a good place to land…

Highly recommend! I’ve been here 3 times for brunch and once for dinner. I’ve enjoyed every meal and so have my guests. My favorite dishes are the Carnitas and eggs for brunch and the chicken fried chicken for dinner (Jalapeño gravy? Yes please.) The service has always been excellent as well. I’ll be back for sure!

It was 4:00pm so we basically had the dining area to ourselves… So the service was amazing our waiter was extremely attentive and helpful explaining the menu since this was our first time here. We ordered the avocado fries for an appetizer and they were delicious yes they were deep-​fried but the coating was very light and crisp the dipping sauce was a little spicy but not too much, overall they were really good. Bread comes before every dinner — it’s warm and amazing — the olive oil has a heap of crushed olives piled in the middle. It was so good I was almost didn’t have room to eat my entrée which was the Mediterranean pasta topped with fresh grilled salmon — again this was amazing the salmon was cooked perfectly and still sizzling hot when it reached my table. Even though my daughter and I were both stuffed we did end up getting the cheesecake for dessert — next time I think I should start with the cheesecake and get two of them (they are small slices, but by the time you get to desert you’re so full you don’t really care. The menu is a bit pricey but the food can’t be beat. I can’t wait to go back.

A really nice little restaurant in an unassuming location. My wife and I go there a few times a year. Their menu is always a bit different which is really nice, there’s always something new to try. Last time we were in there I had an excellent Mediterranean pasta. It was light for pasta and the flavors were very bright and fresh. I got a red snapper over the summer and that was excellent as well. They have a great selection of wine and the waiter recommended a wine that fit both my wife’s and my meal perfectly. Their menu isn’t too big. I feel like a lot of restaurants with giant sprawling menu’s do okay work, but with smaller more refined menus you tend to get better quality food. That’s certainly the case here.

I had lunch at Citron Bistro several months ago (mid-​summer). I was by myself and basically got treated like I should have gone around to the back door. I ordered the beef tenders salad. I love their bread and olive oil dip. In fact, that’s mainly what I went there for. Instead, what I got was stale bread sticks. The beef slices in the salad were plentiful but stone-​cold and tasted like they had been hanging around in the fridge too long. The waitress did get friendlier toward the end of my meal. I guess she was afraid she wouldn’t get a tip. I didn’t complain about the bad experience, but I probably should have.
Now I’m supposed to be meeting a friend there for dinner tonight. Yikes! I hope the experience is better than my lunch was. On the plus side (when I’ve been there with other people in the past), we’ve always gotten fresh bread and good service, and I’ve had prime rib there a couple of times that was pretty decent.
Maybe they were just having a bad day when I had lunch there by myself. But on the other hand, maybe Citron Bistro just doesn’t like parties of one taking up space at their tables. I guess it doesn’t occur to them that we don’t always eat alone, and that if we are treated right we just might come back with our friends and families.

Loved this place! Food, servings, atmosphere, service and drinks are all top notch. We will definitely come back!

I’m not a hummus person so, your not going to hear about that. We did order fancy martinis. We had the mandarin martini, liquid therapy martini and chips and salsa and coconut shrimp just to pick at. Everything was very good. Service was good and we were very comfortable sitting on the patio. We will be going back for happy hour.

After reading the other reviews for this place, I’m surprised that our experience was so bad! The service was great, but the shrimp tostado that my friend ordered was uneatable. Really. All three of us tried the shrimp to confirm none of us could eat it. I wanted to send it back or just ask someone who worked there to take a bite to see his/​her reaction. So sad, because it LOOKED great.
I had the ahi tuna sandwich and it also wasn’t good. I don’t often have tuna, so I have nothing with which to compare.
We won’t be returning there, which is a bummer because there aren’t many restaurant choices in that area of town.

Love this place! Food and drinks are excellent and if you are looking for a very affordable happy hour too this is your place! I love supporting locally owned businesses and knowing how hard these guys work makes it that much easier too spend my money here. Some of the friendliest bartenders and waiters that are always very attentive and personable. We always go on either Friday or Saturday nights but I have heard they also have an awesome Brunch. Rex and Zach also make the best Margarita around town!

We love this place because no matter what kind of experience we are looking for, this place can usually accommodate. Their dining area is always clean (not lots of dirty table waiting to be cleaned) with booth or table options, both comfortable, roomy, and spaced properly so your not right on top of another guest. They have a great bar if your looking for something a little more energetic, wonderful happy hour specials. In the winter we love to sit at the fireplace. This area is kind of an extension of the bar so it’s a good option if you are looking to have a full meal, but want something more casual than the dining room. Their patio doesn’t have the best view, but they’ve installed a fountain and have beautiful flowers in the summer; great for brunch. Big umbrellas and an overhang in sitting in the sun isn’t you thing (that’s me).
Lots of different meal options with a great kitchen. They don’t have a lot of vegetarian options, but the kitchen is very accommodating and the servers are incredibly knowledgeable. Drinks are tasty and they have a good wine selection.

So very impressed with this place, I think I’ll be back soon.
It’s located in a very unassuming area, right next to Wendy’s. I picked this place because of the location –I was meeting a friend and it seemed to have pretty good Unilocal reviews. I have to admit I was questioning my decision as I pulled in the lot.
However, walking in, the place is super cute! Very nice décor and arriving around 630 pm on a Monday evening, it wasn’t dead but definitely not crowded at all. Our server was named Kelley and he was awesome. The perfect mix of being present and attentive but not overwhelming and annoying. My pet peeve is having to stop eating to ask for a drink refill but this was definitely not the case here.
They bring out warm bread and olive oil prior to your meal, which was a welcome surprise. The bread was warm and fresh and oh so good. It tastes like it’s made fresh from a bakery.
I got the veggie sandwich ($ 9.99) sans cheese and it was delicious. Again, the bread was awesome. It had some sort of hummus type sauce, which was mildy spicy (I’m very spice sensitive) but nothing that a few extra sips of water couldn’t deal with. I got it with fries, which were just ehh. The other option to fries was coleslaw, gross. The fries are pre-​seasoned, similar to Popeye’s or Checkers but not as greasy. My friend got a salad (not sure which one) but it was a decent size and she enjoyed it. We waited about 15 minutes for our food, it was super quick. Our server also asked us if we wanted to splint the bill prior to bringing the check, another plus.
They do offer a dessert menu, while I wasn’t interested, our server mentioned crème brûlée and a few other things, which I’m sure were awesome. They also have a happy hour menu but I didn’t ask about it so I’m not sure about the specials. On the website it said that there is a drink minimum, so I immediately lost interest. I’m not much of a drinker but I love happy hour food specials.
4 stars for awesome and attentive waiter service and stellar food.
Minus one star because my sandwich had onions on it, which was not listed as an ingredient on the menu. Luckily I’m not allergic but not cool with so many people these days with food allergies.
Overall, a solid experience.

Food is above average. Service is helpful can be slow depending on occasion. I’ve had four star dinners and three star worthy dinners. I’d recommend the coconut shrimp with the mango sauce. That is probably one of the best shrimp apps I’ve put in my mouth. All in all, they’ve been extremely accommodating when I’ve arrived for a quick bite closer to closing time. I’d recommend to come and try for yourself! Worth a visit

Good menu and good service. Stopped in yesterday with some girlfriends for drinks, erhm, I mean lunch. Bartender was very nice and made some nice specialty drinks for us. I had the lamb sliders with side salad. The sliders were a decent size and pretty delicious.
Because the parking lot in surrounded by a couple of other businesses it is a little busy pulling in and out.

This review is specifically for the Happy Hour. It’s an amazing affair. It lasts until 10 pm!
Probably the best we’ve found in Denver. A great selection of delicious HH food specials. Some are gourmet (mussels, coconut shrimp), some are Greek (hummus, chicken kabobs) some are American favorites (wings and burgers). Everything we’ve tried has been yummy. We’ve been there about 15 times.
Import and Craft Drafts are $ 3.25. Bottles are $ 2.75.

I come here whenever I end up on this side of town. The happy hour in the bar area has some great specials (but it should be noted, it is only in the bar area). They have small plates and burgers for great prices, around $ 5, also good drink specials, also about $ 5 for some cool cocktails.
The other night we sat in the dining area for a change. Missed out on happy hour deals but wanted to sit in a booth. I find it a little odd that this restaurant is so divided, totally different ambiance, drink menu, and food menu. The orange mojito ($ 7) here is so good! We ordered the chicken taco appetizer. These are taquitos, not tacos. They were good, it was a small amount of food though. My boyfriend ordered a ahi tuna burger which was epic!
I will always be back, but will most likely linger on the happy hour side.

We came here for Easter brunch this year. It was a last minute reservation and we were thankful that we were able to find a table… as well as a bit concerned since Easter was only two days away.
Food was plentiful, but nothing amazing. Honestly, most of the fare seemed like items available at a casual buffet like Golden Corral. So at $ 34.95 per person, non-​alcoholic beverages NOT included, it seemed a bit over priced. And the tip jar at the omelet station was a bit off-​putting. Our server was friendly and made sure our beverages were refilled and sitting on the patio was nice, even though the view was of Hampden.
All in all our experience was A-​OK, and we were happy to grab a table somewhere. However I don’t see myself returning soon.

Just love Citron Bistro! Went for the Pig Roast and Live Jazz Music and it didn’t disappoint. We ordered the Roasted Pig plate and it was so good I forgot to take a picture of it.
It was really nice to be enjoying dinner and listening to live Jazz. Made the dining experience even better.
They are part of FiveStar so we were able to save 25% on our meal. We finished the dinner by sharing crème brûlée for dessert and it was very yummy.
Parking is free and it is right around the corner from where I live, so very convenient!
