"One star. Taking over much of Mélisse’s former footprint, Citrin serves up a la carte classics from chef Josiah Citrin, from a supremely juicy roasted chicken covered in bread crumbs to an equally famous lobster Bolognese." - Eater Staff
"Josiah Citrin’s namesake restaurant inside the former Melisse serves a four-course menu and upscale modern California dishes like the beloved lobster Bolognese topped with brown butter truffle froth. Those looking for a more approachable experience should check out happy hour, featuring a terrific burger with discounted wine and cocktails. For a truly special gastronomical experience, head inside the two-Michelin-starred Melisse for a tasting menu that runs over $400 per person for drinks, tax, and tip." - Matthew Kang
"A Californian restaurant in Santa Monica combining French techniques with seasonal Californian produce for indulgent dishes." - Kevin Chau
"Chef and owner Josiah Citrin (speaking across his operations) asks starkly: "What’s the endgame at this point?" He outlines feeding first responders, offering discounts, and seeing an 80% decline at one location. The summary: severe declines, charitable relief, and urgent concerns about how long venues can continually operate under such losses." - Eater Staff
"A One MICHELIN Star restaurant by Josiah Citrin, offering a personalized dining experience with a focus on exceptional quality and guest-directed culinary adventures." - Michael He
