"Chef Josiah Citrin’s previous Santa Monica restaurant was reimagined as two unique restaurants, Citrin and Melissé, in 2019. Located under the same roof, Citrin is a modern Californian restaurant while Melissé offers a tasting menu experience where the dining room and kitchen are one. Via a la carte and prix fixe menus, Citrin offers some die-hard former Melissé classics like Lobster Bolognese or Egg Caviar, a soft poached egg with caviar. Citrin also offers more modern dishes like the Crudo of Japanese Hamachi, made with radish, fermented chili, enoki mushrooms, and yuzu kosho." - Vox Creative
