Editorial Review for Citron – by Jennifer Schwartz
The Scene
This hotel restaurant is a sparkling and spiffy example of the desert's revival of mid-century-modern decor. Cool lemon-yellow walls temper shiny white-marble floors, and severe black-metal coachman's lamps punctuate flowing '50s-style furnishings. A full-service bar attracts a sleek martini crowd, while a covered patio lined with flickering candles provides a peaceful milieu for cooing couples.
The Food
The seasonal menu features French-inspired dishes accented with market-fresh produce. Chunks of sweet, juicy watermelon make a refreshing addition to golden heirloom tomato salad, and plump Mexican shrimp in honey sauce adds a sweet twist to the tuna tartare starter. Standout entrees include tender Maple Leaf Farm duck breast perched in a pool of rich foie gras demi-glace, while flavorful French Dover sole stands up to bits of smoky lardon. The Citron tart, its buttery crust filled with lemon curd and topped with fresh berries, is a refreshing conclusion.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkIn true desert fashion, cocktails are strong and expertly made. Try the Le Citron Bleu, a martini made with blue Hynotiq and Ketel One Citroen and served in a sugar-rimmed glass.

All the food that was ordered came out really salty. In addition, the rib eye steak was tough. The ambiance and the service were very good though. But for the price we paid for the meals, I don't think the whole experience was worth it.
