I fell in love Mr. Michel Richard at the opening of his restaurant at the Revel casino in.Atlantic City. The menu was limited but offered much of the same as Citronelle in DC. Dined at the DC location several times since then. PRO: chicken nuggets are amazing apps, drinks strong and tasteful, chicken and mash will blow you away (has... More

Food presentations are like works of art. Expensive, but worth every penny. The menu continually evolves, so there are always surprises that will satisfy all of your senses. In the heart of Georgetown....take a romantic stroll after diner.

The food was superbly prepared, creative, and varied. I really enjoyed my meal and will definitely return.

Service was superb. Food was presented beautifully and tasted every bit as good as it looked. We had two young people in our party of 6 and they were treated with respect and not looked down upon.

For our 50th wedding anniversary, we chose to go to DC for a special 5 day weekend. We selected Citronelle for our special dinner on the night of our 50th. We booked reservations two months in advance on the phone -with a live person, giving our name, phone number, etc. and telling them it was for our 50th. On the... More
