Citron Bistro is a Greek inspired restaurant with Executive Chef Andy Martinez in the kitchen creating magic for your palette with his unique take on traditional and Greek cuisine. 

Restauranteurs George Karas and Tom Karantounis took the building that formerly housed Marie Calendars and created a beautiful relaxing oasis  of a mix of rustic brick, hardwood floors and modern colors  for a dining atmosphere to enjoy world foods with Mediterranean, Southwestern and American influences. Come and share a glass of wine with friends, or  indulge in their amazing signature dessert, a Creme Brulee' Napoleon. (pictured at left)

Their 5280 menu was quite varied and the quantity of food you received was outstanding.
