Our group of 10 had a wonderful dinner last night. Citrus & Salt was lively, colorful, and delicious. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and served everything at just the right pace. The decor is beautiful and fun... very Instagrammable. The volume was loud, but not too loud. We really had a nice time and did not feel rushed at all, even though it was Cinco de Mayo and crowded. Everyone really enjoyed their meals and drinks too! We'll be back. :)

Our server (I forget his name) was lovely. The food (Caesar salad, fusilli alla vodka, tiramisu) was excellent. The ambiance was wonderful. The preparations made for my girlfriend's birthday (specialized menus, table decorations, a corner booth, and a dessert with a candle) were above and beyond, and a pleasant surprise.
