About Citrus City Grille
Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
I recently stopped by this restaurant on a weekday for a late lunch, and I had a wonderful experience. It's conveniently located in the Orange Circle, and I was fortunate to find parking right in front, parking can be challenging on weekends. Upon arrival, I was promptly seated, and our waiter was fantastic, though I regretfully forgot her name, she was very attentive throughout our visit. Shortly after I placed my order, I noticed that happy hour had started, and I wished I had waited, as they offer some great deals during that time. I highly recommend the stuffed dates; they were delicious! If you're in the mood for a cocktail, definitely try the pear martini, it was perfectly made. I’m looking forward to coming back for happy hour to try the sliders. Additionally, the bathrooms were clean, which is always a plus. Overall, a great spot for a meal!
Citrus City Grille absolutely exceeded our expectations while catering our two-day FMS event! With two long and exciting days of meetings and collaboration, owner Charlie and his incredible team curated two completely different menus to keep our team energized and satisfied. Day one featured an outstanding spread of Greek chicken and beef kabobs, the freshest Greek salad with authentic Greek feta, olives, and house-made Greek dressing. Their house-made hummus and tzatziki sauce were hands-down some of the best we've ever had! Day two was just as impressive, with their famous prime beef dip sandwich, homemade minestrone soup, and classic Caesar salad, all topped off with their decadent chocolate temptation cake. Every dish was crafted with care, packed with flavor, and truly restaurant-quality—something you rarely experience at corporate events. Our employees and suppliers from near and far were absolutely blown away by the quality and taste of the food. During long meetings, great food makes all the difference, and Charlie and his team went above and beyond to deliver a gourmet experience. Thank you, Citrus City Grille, for making our event so memorable! We can't wait to work with you again.
The Short Prime Rib was more like a Chuck roast. The octopus appetizer was excellent. Appetizer came with cherry tomatoes cut in half and a sliced potato.
Everything about this hidden gem is pretty great. The restaurant is nice and located in the heart of Orange (Old Town Orange Circle). They offer a wide variety of dishes, a full bar, and great service. Most of the food I've tried is very tasty, but my favorite dishes so far are the risotto dishes (both are very favorful).
One of the nicest restaurants I have eaten in Orange County everything is delicious and the service top of the line a combination that is very rare to find this days...I highly recommend it!! I don't have a favorite dish. Like I said, every single item on the menu is very tasty!!!
