| Coolly contemporary Citrus is situated in a Spanish-named hotel, the style of which is Tuscan, all in a city with Tex-Mex roots --- so naturally the menu combines hints of Asia, Mexico and contemporary American cuisine. A tasting menu can be had in three- and four-course versions, though à la carte pricing is available. First courses can be as simple as Iberico ham with tetilla cheese; seconds might include a sous-vide duck egg with grits; the more substantial third turns on the likes of char-grilled bronzini with chanterelles; and dessert might bring you banana spring rolls with a mango purée. At lunch, a $9.95 paella packs ’em in. The wine list includes alternative reds and whites, though Spain still seems to be under-represented, given the hotel’s namesake. Perhaps a few more Iberian examples might encourage diners to linger in the minimal but likeable dining room instead of retreating to the hip and happening Vbar across the lobby. |
