Citron

Citron is a great restaurant for an intimate dinner, or a gathering of friends. The food is always imaginative, fresh, and delicious. Staff are friendly and this gem is easy to reach by car, on BART or on foot. Located in the charming Rockridge neighborhood of Oakland, this restaurant is well worth repeat visits.

Citron is one of my favorite places in Rockridge. The food is purely California-French and done very well. The menu changes pretty frequently and is mostly seasonally inspired.

Their wine list is quite excellent as they employ a full-time sommelier to my knowledge. The chef's tasting menu has the option of a selected pairing which I wholeheartedly recommend.

Citron has two pleasantly surprising but little known facts:
1) The dessert is awesome. Every time I have gone the desserts have been innovative, perfectly executed, and accompanied by a great selection of dessert wines or espresso.

2) Brunch. It's really one of the best places to get a proper brunch. I had a meyer lemon eggs benedict that was perfect.

Classy ambiance, never terribly crowded. A real find in Rockridge.
