tinajean "Wants more please"

It was my first time dining at Citrus. I arrived at 7:30 pm (my favorite time for dinner) and got seated right away.

For my appetizer I regrettably had the Goat Cheese Caesar – Roulade. The lettuce was stood up forming a box with the goat cheese in the middle and the croutons on top. Unfortunately, the salad was soaked in Caesar dressing and had so much garlic that you could not taste the goat cheese. Once you opened the box of lettuce it all became a pool of dressing. For my entrée I had the Artic Char, potato grits, sherry gastrique. The potato grits had a very pungent, metallic taste to them which meant that a little too much saffron was added to the broth which did not taste good. The server apologized, took the plate and replaced it with a potato napoleon. All in all it was a good dish I just wish I could have tasted the cherry gastrique.
For dessert I had the Mushroom Vacherin which is Chocolate ice cream, pistachio anglaise and crispy chocolate pearls. This was my favorite as it was one giant mushroom you had to hit it with your spoon and break open. Once you did that the meringue of the shell coated with chocolate and the ice cream mixed together tasted like a whopper. This was a very whimsical dessert as it was fun to look at as it was to eat. The highlight of the night, though, was when the chef gave us a tour of the kitchen.
