"The bistro offers dining areas for a variety of occasions including group lunches and family dinners at the community table overlooking the kitchen, quiet meals at a cozy booth for two, get-togethers with friends on the outdoor patio, and enlightened hospitality for single diners."
Business Week, July 16, 2007:
"The menu runs the gamut from grilled Asian pork loin to Jamaican grilled shrimp to margherita pizza, and there's a full wine list to boot!"
San Jose Mercury News, October 11, 2007:

"Our experience was positively perfect. The meals for our kids arrived early….they do this to keep the kids from waiting…why don't more restaurants think this way?"
Rick S., August 22, 2007, on yelp.com:
"I've never eaten here but I have gotten take out. Love the little containers that they give for takeout orders which double as Tupperware for me! I was impressed by their seared ahi, it came well-dressed nd in between two slices of seasoned focaccia bread."
David A., August 5, 2007, on yelp.com:
"From the high-tech table finder for the waiter after you pay, to the fresh & so clean look of the joint, it's a thumbs up for me!"
Natalia J., October 4, 2007, on yelp.com:
"Their menu is great; it includes a variety of sandwiches, salads, chicken and fish. Their hummus is excellent. They also have a lot of iced teas and hot teas. Really nice layout and the service is quick. The staff is also very friendly."
Ikeb I., July 5, 2007, on yelp.com:
"I appreciated the modern design-the tables even had hooks to hold your purses. As one that hates being forced to leave her bag on her lap or having to sit it on the floor-that was definitely a smart and nice touch for the ladies."
Becca W., June 21, 2007, on yelp.com:
"The whole menu looked interesting and the concept is cool-no matter what regional cuisine you have a craving for, Citrine seems to offer it."
Lue W., August 17, 2007, on yelp.com:
"We enjoyed their iced teas. The thing I loved about that was at the fountain area they showcased the four flavors of iced tea right in front and center-and not the sodas. Some were unsweetened or caffeine-free!!"
