Experiences

14 March 2007

Took my mom to Citrico's as she had never been. I had tried to get her into Victoria & Albert's about six months before, but we were to tired from the days outing, and she really wasn't dressed or prepared for the occasion.

24 February 2007

Went to Citrico's with some friends of mine that have some pull, and we got the wine cellar room. I had the following:

Appetizers

Citrico's

Sautéed Shrimp

with Lemon, White Wine, Tomatoes, and Feta

This was a nice dish, and I actually liked the offset that the Feta cheese created for once.

Arancini

Crispy Risotto with Italian Sausage, Quattro Formaggi, and White Truffle Aїoli

Roasted Butternut Squash Bisque

with Orange-scented Crab and a Citrus Cream

Mediterranean Tastes

with roasted garlic and white bean puree, Picholene olive Tapanade, Buffalo Mozzarella and Prosciutto de Parma, served with grilled Crostini

Smoked Beef Carpaccio

with Mushroom Salad and Focaccia Crisp

Warm Onion Tart

with Walnut Vinaigrette

Gâteau of Crab

Jumbo Lump Crab, Orange Fennel Cream and tomato fennel slaw

Warm Goat Cheese Salad

with Arugula, Frisée, Lardons, and Marinated Tomatoes

Salad of Romaine Lettuce

Entrées

Citrico's

Sautéed Atlantic Salmon

with Caramelized Cipollini onions, Yukon Gold Potatoes, and Fines Herbs Butter Sauce

Nice smooth dish. I truly enjoyed it. My apologies for not adding more here, but it was over a month ago that I actually had the dish.

Braised Veal Shank

with Carrot-Potato Purée and Roasted Vegatables

The meat was beautifully done, and could almost be cut with a fork without being mushy.
