My husband and I went to citrus cafe last night and have been there for many years as it is a chandler institution. We were very pleasantly surprised to see that the restaurant had changed owners and in turn chefs. We received small clipboard menus as opposed to the old easels and read it realizing that the restaurant has caught up with 2008. It is no longer a classical French/ country club type restaurant, but a menu full of international flare including French, Italian, Spanish, asian, Mediterranean and even local fare. We were greeted with a complimentary appetizer that was a spoon of chilled zuchinni soup with fresh tomato and parmesan. It was fantastic. Our server informed us that although not on the menu, escargot was readily available, so we had it and it was just as good as paris. The Arizona chopped salad was outsatanding, so refreshing and the grilled cornbread with mole butter was very cool. For entrees, the prosciutto wrapped halibut was very good and fresh and the rabbit sausage pasta with home made pappardelle was outstanding. We were also informed that if there was ever anything we were craving to call the chef one day and advance and it would be done. That?s quite a compliment to the chefs skills and understanding of guest service. We will be back and maybe for something off the menu.
Pros: the food
Cons: not more well known
